Nunu Champion Rework
So I will share my thoughts with all of you, who decided to give some of their time to read this ( for which I am really grateful :) ). So I want to discuss a rework for the champion Nunu, which was in the game from the old times when this game was in BETA version
. As old as this champion is, I think he needs a rework. So as I am new to this discussion board, I don't have any sketches or clips to show you my ideas, just words and imagination as tools. So here are my ideas. For the visual changes I think that he should be made to walk no so robotically as he is right now. In the start of game as he starts to gain movement speed through items he should start running progressively ( what I mean is he should walk like the yeti he is in the beginning and for example when he gets
he starts to run a little and when he upgrades his shoes he starts running normally. As for his animation, which are triggered with control + 1, etc., I don't have that big of ideas for the moment about them, but for the dance animation it should be something trending right now, since RIOT tend to give a lot of easter eggs in their works, so I think his dance should include the so called "Dab" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2EfpQiOQrY this link includes a lot of dabs (that movement the singer and dancers do with their hands and hide their heads between them) for those, who don't know what a "Dab" is) and for the laugh animation I think that it's kind of good for example Nunu tickles his buddy Willump (the name of the Yeti from the Lore) and the both laugh or both do some kind of joke in between them, since they are great friends.
For the abilities:
Q - I think that as an Yeti his Q should stay the same, but it gives certain buffs or so called bonus effects when he uses spells for the next 30 secs.-1 min., so players could play him both in lane and in jungle. And he could probably get some bonus attack speed for like 2-3 secs. so he could become even more viable in jungle.
W - For his W I think that it should be changed to a charge. What i'm thinking of is that since Willump is a Yeti he should be fast as one. So Nunu starts a sprint ( Be it with his two legs or gets on his feet and runs with his four legs - RIOT will decide, if they see and like this idea) and runs quickly for some brief time and his next basic attack will bash his target and knock them back some distance (little) . The attack is strong so If the target knocks back and hits a wall it will be stunned for the next 1,5 secs. If Nunu has used his Q beforehand his W gets this bonus effect : he roars which makes him a bit faster but the speed decades as time passes or gives a buff to his nearby allies for more movement speed and attack speed for the next 5-15 secs.
E - His E should stay the same, but here are my ideas for it. First plan : His E is a with a little range something like Yasuo's Q but with a little less range and the first target hit will be stunned for the next 0,5-1 secs. If he has a bonus effect from Q his E will instead throw an Ice Shard or a Snowball that will slow the target and deal magic damage. Second plan : His E stays the same but the bonus effect from Q is that instead of slowing the target it stuns it for the next 0,5-1 secs.
R - His ult is fairly good, so I think it should stay the same as is, but so it won't be this OP with its damage, considering how targets could be surprised as the ult isn't seen when Nunu does it in the bushes, I thought of this : He deals a certain amount of damage and he deals bonus damage when he has a bonus effect from his Q (and this is the main reason I made the Q bonus effects on spells to last for at least 30 secs - 1 min. , but it could be made that the Q bonus effect to last like this : early game - the next 20 sec spells have bonus effect, mid game - Q bonus effect lasts 40 secs. Late game - Q bonus effects last 1 min. ) And yeah with this the R shouldn't be this OP and it will make players think more when playing this champion and if they play their cards right they can make big plays and the champion becomes more fun and more played like this. If I do happen to think of any other bonus effects or animations that could work for his rework I will post a comment or can update the post by adding more text to this. Thank you for the time spent reading my post. I hope it will leave you with bright smiles and I really do hope for support on this post, because I really think this will make Nunu a considerable pick again for the game and we could see him more LCS or Videos.
P.S. Riot Games,
If by any chance you read and like this and consider it to be good and make this real, please leave the laugh sound on Nunu BOT. I think his laugh sounds makes him what it is and players would be happier if the laugh sounds stays the same and if the community likes this update and have even greater ideas about his rework I could make a Poll in this discussion so people could vote which change should be made! :)
Cheers !
