Willump design is marvelous ! Spot on Riot !

This is actually ridiculous. Nunu is supposed to be a whimsical child on a YETI, a ravenous beast. The contrast between the two characters is what makes the champion. "Don't make the Yeti angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry" has turned into "you can't make the yeti angry." This is a very disappointing change for me and it discourages me about the future of this game. Are they really going to ruin the thematic of all the old champs? Most of the recent reworks have been okay, and stayed true to the champs theme (with the exception of Gangplank, rip), but if this is truly what the Nunu VU looks like, I'm concerned with who's doing these Visual Updates.

How are they changing the thematic drastically?

Willump is supposed to be a Yeti, a dangerous beast capable of destruction, etc. The whole theme of the champ is that this whimsical child was able to gain the friendship of such a beast, and they travel around together beating things up. The new Willump is absolutely nothing like his original theme.

  1. You don't know the new lore
  2. Nunu was a yeti because he's one of the oldest champions and was just a cookie cutter character
  3. The new Nunu is expanding on the idea that Nunu and Willump are the only ones who understand eachother and that they're pretty much like Finn and Jake from Adventure Time.

On the bright side i agree with ya. I want realish looking champions, not disney characters like Zoe. But oh well, not like i play nunu anyways

I think it’s good that they’re bringing light hearted champions into the game. It brings more diversity and the designs appeal to younger kids that play the game as well.

I love a wholesome, happy champ. I might just learn Nunu if he comes out.

True it does give more people to cater to. Considering theres only 1 disney/cartoonish champion in the game a few more wouldnt hurt for the people who want those types.

Man if you dont think Ivern is cartoony then we must have very different opinions on what makes a cartoony champ

Lol but why though? Theres no reason champs like Ivern shouldnt ne in this game if we've got some grimdark and edgelord stuff like Aatrox, Urgot, and Kayn.

And new Willump? Uninspired? You sure you're looking at the same picture, friend? Because old Willump is the poster child for uninspired. He's literally just a yeti. That's it. Nkthing special, just your average, sterotypical, first thing that people think of when they hear the word yeti.

New Willump looks whimsical and especially after watching their teaser, he and Nunu both give off so much charm. Sure you might think he looks dopey, or too childish for your tastes, but to say he's uninspired, you must have lost the plot

now that nunu looks like something out of disney instead of sesame street XD

I like it. Old Nunu was just a Yeti with no discernible features that make him stand out (I mean beside the obvious... being a Yeti). The new one is a lot more expressive and easily identifiable as League's Yeti vs just a Yeti from any other source.

I think they accomplished what they wanted to do with the picture and character. It stands out a lot more and is unique while fitting to League style.

Nunu's the kid. Willump is the yeti.

I like how Nunu is much more noticeable now & have a full body rather than him being much smaller & not having legs before. I like the Eskimo inspired design & his cap.

I look forward to seeing his skins & splashes.

Daedric Etwahl6 votes

I always am excited when champions with lots of skins get reworked because then we get a whole slew of new splash arts to admire

Honestly didn't see them making Willump have 4 arms. Kind of like it though. The whole design of him really sets him apart from average look of a yeti that we're use to. Nunu also is more clear and that is a lot to say considering his current model. Here's to see his reveal tomorrow (possibly) and what his new kit looks like.

Tundra Hunter8 votes

Seems like the same approach as Warwick rework "Warwick is not a wolf, it's a chimera" now it's Willump "It's not a yeti, it's a snow monster" or something

Could just be League's version of what Yetis are and look like

Finally a rework that doesn't make a champ look into some edgy Kayn-wannabe

Nunu looks like the happiest child ever (before Zoe ) and Willump model looks so fucking awesome, and it fits into the Lol lore so much, he no longer looks like a boring looking real world yeti, Now he looks so magical, unique, and so joyful.

Meep Man8 votes

I must say, I REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY didn't think about the fact that they would be changing how Willump looked and this caught me completely off guard. I was just scrolling and then, WOAH! Four-armed, antler dog yeti!

So do I like it? Yes. I love it. Nunu is supposed to be a childish character that is very much "a boy and his pet monster" kind of vibe.

"wtf riot is making League a game for 5 year olds, first Zoe now this disgrace."

yeah lets just forget that the last champion was a bloodthirsty ghostly serial killer based on shoving harpoons up of people's asses and drowning them, that we've had a recent rework of a dark demoness with planets for an ass and tits who's been described to have ripped arms off of people, and that we also have the bloody meat grinding urgot ult in game. You design two champions designed to be 'cute' and 'kiddish' and everyone starts ranting about how this game is becoming the nickelodeon of video games.

I personally enjoy the new Willump, Idk about you guys but having every champion be this badass edgy world-ending sign of the apocalypse is becoming pretty stale and outright over-used.

Not a fan of Nunu's color scheme.

Six limbs, though? Is Willump related to the Watchers, perhaps?

Agent Corgi8 votes

He's got 4 arms, which means he can literally carry all 4 teammates on his team.

Anyone else think Nunu almost looks like he belongs in one of those old Christmas movies? I think I think this because he almost has that claymation feel to him.

This is really wicked man!

Now we just need to see the spell reworks (That is if it is going to happen. I don't keep up to date all the time so please excuse me on that.)

Willump is super cute I just wanna hug him >w<.

Is Nunu gonna like Zoe? They look a lot alike.

Agent Corgi1 votes

Well Nunu Nunu & Zoe Zoe are both just kids, albeit one has Phenomonal Cosmic Powers & the other one was known for having the ability to throw Magic Snowballs (Pre-Rework). I think the only reason they kind of look the same is because of the New Models they have now a days, pretty sure Annie Annie would be in the same boat if they redid her model with todays tech.

I dunno, it just looks like Willump would be a good wing yeti
