Does this look like a Nunu Bot to you?

No, that is not a Nunu Bot, that is... a Nunu HUMAN

Did Riot forgot why this skin exist in first place?

If you add a human to the skin, then it means that Nunu will have a human voice, not the BOT voice that the original Nunu Bot had.

Bots cant be superior to Non-Bots is a Non-Bot controlls the Bot.

Heck, even the teaser says "What is WE were ROBOTS" ... not "what if YOU were a robot"

This is a weird complaint

Given the (awesome) teaser, it seems like the skins represent more of the fantasy, wish-upon-a-star element than it does a hard, logical, concrete concept.

But if Willump talks, there could be interactions between them.

The fear is if the new Nunu Bot doesn't have a sassy attitude, which is a genuine fear

Let’s be honest here. We just wanted the laugh to stay. SO tilting but so necessary.

That was my first reaction too. It's called NUNU-Bot not WILLUMP-Bot. If anything at least NUNU should be a robot as the name implies, but they should BOTH be robots, just as the un-updated skin shows. I wonder why they decided that only Willump should be a bot and not both?

Petition to rename the skin to Willump bot.

I'm fine with it, because apparently it still has the 11/10 laugh.

Now that Willump speaks more in grunts he will probably be the one to be speaking in the text to speech.

You couldn't have expected Nunu Bot to be as memey as it was before could you? Back when Riot didn't really put any forthought into meme skins like Brolaf and Nunubot and probably only made them because THEY thought it was funny as employees. After Dunkmaster Darius came out joke skins are treated more as products and get the same amount of detail that other skins do.

Maybe the robot voice will be the Willump one and Nunu will remain his voice. I understand what you are trying to say, but this way is cool too, the mechanic riding his robot.

We still have to see...

We have the case of Crimson Akali, possibly changing names and themes of skins in the middle of these reworks.

Personally I have the skin, and the new splash art looks great to me.

How did you get the new splash art when the abilities aren't revealed yet. I didn't log into league this mornin btw
