You sit there and tell me, Nunu doesn't look like a creature from "Where the Wild Things Are" now.

He has friends they are out there. And I cant be the only one seeing this

A lot of them are obviously taken from other artists

Bard Kindred inspiration is obviously coming from Ghibli Studio

Zoe Nunu from Disney

Lucian Vayne from comics (like that one with the black vampire guy, forgot his name, "Blade" ? maybe)

Ya get the idea

Combined with the recent release of Zoe, quite possibly one of the most Disney characters ever created, as well as turning the game into a one-shot fest like Fortnite, I'm guessing Riot really is trying to turn their target demographic into young kids.

While I believe that it's a nice thing to have variety for all tastes in a 140 champion roster, very probably riot is trying to casualize the game in order to attract new players

Nunu is the little boy who has a World Rune. Willump is the yeti who is result of Nunu's imagination + the World Rune.

Do you think he carries the inspiration world rune, and not simply some magical artifact?

In my opinion this would make Nunu too much of a central character in the grand scheme of things. This would mean that ryze, brand, lissandra and the whole void is after him. Nunu & Willump are comic relief characters, I don't think they're gonna fit with the grimdark story that Riot has envisioned to unfold on Runeterra.

Moreover, there already was a world rune in the frejlord and ryze retrieved it. It would be weird if he missed another, considering that its existence is well known even by lissandra.

That explains why he looks mildly familiar!

I love his look though.

Omg i was like i saw that yeti before and you talking about where the wild things are, it really got the same design look and concept

Kassadin - Luke, I'm your father. Kaisa - Samus Aran Lucian - Soccer anyone? MasterYi - Is that a ~~light saber~~ laser sword skin?

To be fair they have a lot of creative content too, and sometimes you can't help overlap. Rito needs a win right now, I think this rework is going to shine.
