Could we talk about Nunu?

I don't know much because I've never played him but from what I can tell by playing against him, this champion is insanely strong. This is what I see after a game against Nunu mid:

  • Laning against him is worse than Vladimir, his Q gives him as much if not more heal than summoner 7 and can be used against anything that is not a champion, meaning, any damage you deal to him will erased with one or two Qs. It also means he and his jungler can easily secure any major camp (Herald, Drakes, Baron) because this deals an high amount of true damage to monsters.
  • AP Nunu just obliterates/chunks anyone with his snowball which is on a 2 second cooldown and also slows you to a crawl. There is no use running from this guy, he can and will spam E to kill you.
  • His ultimate is huge for teamfights. All he has to do is press R to: slow the entire enemy team, likely force a retreat/disengage, cause enemy to panic, and if they still continue to fight inside that circle, he releases to deal massive AoE damage. That thing can easily do over a thousand points of damage depending on how long it was channeling.
  • In the duration of Nunu's R, if the enemy disengages, that gives Nunu's team easy, free opportunites to attack with no return damage. The slow will also prevent anyone from getting away either because his team's CC or damage. The only drawback I can see to this ability is that he cannot move during the channel but that doesn't matter anyways because in the next 3 seconds, he will delete your entire team.
  • You'd think that maybe a ranged champion would make Nunu suffer? Wrong. He killed our ADC with a SINGLE snowball and the times item 3285 wasn't up for him? 2 snowballs. ADC couldn't even escape because the slow and Nunu's movespeed. Chasing down a Lucian was no problem for him, he just went right on spamming E, slowing, dealing high damage, and laughing off any damage with a single Q on a nearby camp or creep.

Some changes I'd like on him are:

  • Passive - Unchanged
  • Q - Healing reduced off minions from 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 (+ 75% AP) > 50 / 90 / 140 / 190 / 240 / 300 (+ 70% AP) - no changes if used on monsters
  • W - Bonus ability power from 40% > 30%
  • E - Cooldown from 6 / 5.5 / 5 / 4.5 / 4 > 7 / 6.5 / 6 / 5.5 / 5 Magic damage from 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 / 280 (+ 90% AP) > 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 / 280 (+ 80% AP) Slow duration from 2 seconds > 1.5 seconds
  • R - 625 / 875 / 1125 / 1375 (+ 250% AP) > 625 / 870 / 1115 / 1360 (+ 225% AP)

But why? Nunu in lane isnt even good and is very easily counterable.you played a melee assassin against a Nunu. You literally win no mafter what post-6. You shouldn't be complaining about anyone while playing Zed of all champions, my man.

That Nunu only had 3 kills so it's hard to believe you on those claims either. Lane Nunu is bad against all but a select few champions and if he goes full ap, he gets wrecked by any assassin in the game AND most log range mages because they hit him before he can get his E off.

He didn't even get W until level 10 which was a mistake. And he took Inspiration over Sorcery or Domination so he was shooting himself in the foot, too.

Basically, you didn't know what to do in the match-up and are now claiming the character is OP and needs nerfs. He's not. I've been playing him for over a year and I peaked at the third "best" Nunu in NA. I know a thing or two about my boy, and neither of those things are "He's a very good laner"

I probably come off as rude here, and I apologize in advance, but this entire post is being ridiculous.

My advice against nunu, his Q makes him unable to dodge skill shots well being casted, he gets free abilities every 5 auto's indicated by the swirl around him that gives an additional boost to his damage. The best thing you can do is make him waste it by pushing the wave in. Roam and gank or take the honey plants for mana and health nunu's can't push waves to well you can wait for him to use his empowered ability then he'll be helpless against your attacking

You claim champion is op after playing against him once and not playing as that champion single time? And even ask for a nerf?

How about you play Nunu for 20 or more matches and than tell us your opinion about him? Before that, I won't take your suggestions seriously.
