Yeah, his W is broken. They should have guessed it right away. If you nerf movement and attack speed items and leave an ability like this untouched it's gonna bring balance issues. What he needs right now:

1) Nerf on W duration. 15 seconds is way too much, it allows Nunu to place it on the carry and detach himself from any other obligation since the fight won't take longer than that. It also makes poke lanes like MF or Cait even more frustrating to deal with. And I believe Nunu should be forced to buy CDR if he wants a permanent uptime on the ability as well (which is not an issue since there are so many supportive CDR items). 15 secs cooldown is fine as it is, but 8 secs buff would be more than enough.

2) Mana cost. I'm looking at support Nunu here. It's very hard to trade extendedly with such a lane since the cost of W is very low and essentially gives his carry an extra free item. It should have scaling mana cost similar to Ice Ball so that there's at least a small penalty for maxing it first.

3) Slight nerfs on the stats it gives. I'm fine with the MS buff, but reduce the AS buff by 5% or 10% at all levels.

To compensate I'd probably give some sort of buff to consume, since the changes in S3 buffed his support role but tuned down his jungling by a lot (I miss the insta-consume big wraith QQ).
