I'm happy that Nunu's icons got updated BUT....
But i hope that it doesn't be an excused for his VGU to be postpone/prolong.
Specially i have high hopes because just like the splash art of warwick in the past. he's splash got updated but still, he receive his VGU 7 months prior to his splash update. like the next VGU after irelia that will come around May/June.
BTW theory, if you look at nunu's Q, look at his sleeve. It looks like a diff color. Maybe this is teasing us of his vgu in the future. Maybe his updated ability icons are just experiments for his initial vgu in the future.
And if the next VGU champ after irelia is a top/jungle, nunu can be played top too but his initial role is jungle/supp. Maybe he'll lose his support role and migrate to top. Because his core gamplay mechanic revolves around on being a jungle champ, that's why, maybe riot knew that his power/character/champion fantasy revolves around jungle/top. Nevertheless to say, it will alienate support nunu players BUT, the mechanics of nunu even if he's gonna be a top/jungle, is that he can be played support too because any champ can be played as support. One example is ORNN, he is a top laner/support but he can jungle. Maybe, this post rework nunu can be like this.
PS: NUNU is the lowest played/ has the lowest win rate top/jungle/supp champ https://imgur.com/bjhRbcd PPSS: Where are you NUNU Fam?
