User blog comment:Sagee Prime/Nunu... and the future of supports/@comment-128.230.95.223-20120819222955/@comment-3323227-20120821003511

This is hardly just about Nunu but he is an example of too much. He is really a lopsided champion. More caster oriented champions should do fine against him but the majority of champions are not full casters and Nunu completely shuts down auto attack reliant champions. His utility is too strong and like I said before His buffs have 100% uptime which is something no other support has and his buffs are massive. His debuffs while don't have 100% uptime are pretty close to it and again they are massive as well. His sustain is massive yet again and then all his costs are relatively low. Pretty much every champion with sustain on his level got nerfed into the ground and their costs were at the least doubled and cooldowns increased massively.

Nunu is a champion that is great even if he doesn't have his ult. His utility more than makes up for it right at the moment and he is a kill lane support and kill lanes shutdown sustain lanes.
