So I've watched these two videos and they both draw some interesting conclusions. Something that's been in my head that I feel like not many people are talking about is just how much raw power Well Fed gave Nunu. Unless I missed something it looks like that's not returning. I don't think I'm too sad to see it go since it felt like tacked on stats but it certainly did bring a lot of strength to Nunu's old kit. It allowed you to build items that focused more on stats that were not health since Well Fed compensated for it mostly. Now that no long seems to be the case.

Do you think his new kit will compensate for the removal of Well Fed ? Why or why not?

Another topic Aquadragon brings up is that his single-target objective control is now weaker than his previous kit. This is because he no longer has the blood boil ability for 12 seconds on top of his single-target snowball for damage. Instead he will have two long cooldown abilities in their place which are designed to be AoE. Nunu still has blood boil but it will only have a 4 second uptime and a 6 second downtime compared to old bloodboil's 3 second downtime (assuming no cooldown). His new Call of the Freljord has the benefit of dealing 30% bonus ad cleave, which is great for clearing camps. But I'm unsure if this can equalize the "damage per uptime" that bloodboil had for dragon. I'm sure someone smarter that me can figure out the math of how much damage New Nunu's kit can DPS dragon compared to the old one.

Overall it seems they took away is solo-objective control in favor for ganking and teamfighting which personally I think is a good thing and healthier for the game. There is a part of me that's going to miss old nunu. The simplicity of his kit is somewhat pleasing and I'm happy to see they are keeping the satisfactiong of landing a fully charged nunu ult.

I like that they went for the happy-go-lucky design with newnu instead of being stuck with another edgy champion into the game. If there's one criticism I have for riot's champion it's that most of their champion's personalities can basically fit two categories; edgy or quirky. I suppose Newnu fits into the quirky category but at least it's not as prevalent in the champion pool as the edgy personalities. I really dig that it feels like you are Willump and Nunu is your "teammate", even his abilities fill me with a childlike sense of excitement to cast.
