The biggest problem with Nunu right now is that the nerfs really impacted Blood Boil's early potency so that it is a lot harder to bully in lane with him. He IS still extremely powerful lategame, but he can get brutally harassed by ranged poke from champs like Lulu, Zyra and Sona. Atm, Taric brings more to the table because his steroid when he cracks his ult plus his armor aura can benefit the entire team in teamfights (and he has an unavoidable stun and provides at least some sustain for his AD).

Nunu is still solid with a high harass champ like Caitlyn, but he is definitely weaker post-nerf and not worth a ban by any means. Right now, I would much rather see Xin Zhao or Hecarim banned over Shen right now.
