The reason he was constantly banned, was because of the rule-set: the games in the skill-competition only played until first blood, 100 minion-kills or first turret destroyed. which means that the game will always end fairly soon and nunu is an immovable object early-game, he can stay in lane forever with the sustain from consume and passive, and at the same time he has great harrass with the low-cd of ice blast.

the reason he is not picked in actual 5v5 games as a solo laner often is, because he has no damage to champs on 2 of his skills, so he lacks the burst and sustained damage to make an impact in team-fights. if you want to pick up nunu, consider him as a jungler (most notably counter-jungler) instead.
