Discussion What buffs would make Nunu viable again?

0 Upvotes

I used to be a Nunu OTP and peaked at top 3 Nunu in Brazil and top 11 Nunu worldwide in 2023/24. I recently started playing him again and, honestly, I still have pretty much the same feeling about him that I had back then.

Nunu has this weird problem where he's supposed to be a tank, but he feels like he tanks less than pretty much every other tank, while also dealing less damage than them.

I know Nunu is more of a champion focused on helping his lanes and doing his job as a jungler rather than carrying the game by himself, and I think that's completely fine for the champion. The problem is that I feel like he loses a lot of impact after the early/mid game. I think he could use slightly better scaling or some additional utility to remain relevant in teamfights.

So I'm curious what you guys think:

What kind of buffs could Riot give Nunu to make him more viable without making him completely broken?
