I have said it before and i will say it again The Xpecial Rule never fails:

Your best player+Xpecial=0. In other words, xpecial cancels out your best player.

If by some wonder Xpecial is the best player in the game, the world ends.

The Xpecial rule is more like "Xpecial wins his lane, then farms the rest of the game, hits his ult perfectly in every teamfight but gets exploded and makes his team commit and die". From this we can derive that whichever team Xpecial is on will lose.

I was worthless on shaco at that point in the game as anything other than a distraction.

Those are the character's limits, at least you didn't do something retarded like picking shaco/shen and crumbling because you suck balls at split pushing and have no initiation.

Nico was painful tho. Get surrounded by enemies who aren't touching you->flash away. Creeps on low hp->ice ball. Chasing someone with a carry->BB the carry and hope that redbuff will do as a slow. The CVs were decent.

Nico is making my skin crawl from how bad he is...

You might need to take a shower then. :p
I did play horrible, but we won. I am sure you are somebody, but did you win the game? no.. Would you have played better? Maybe... Would you have played better after going 0-4? probably not...

of course it looks bad since I played the worse and streamed from my perspective, but I was mainly zoning for my team and preventing anyone from harassing amumu who powered up nicely.

Welcome to TL Nico!

Only question I had was why you didn't ulti when you were surrounded? IMO it would have been better to draw fire and have the chance to do some damage over flashing out.

That being said, I will admit i wasnt paying attention to the minimap at all times, so it is very possible that the times I'm remembering may not have been ideal teamfight situations.

I don't plan to be a regular poster here, just trying to set my Italian brother straight :D

The few team fights I didn't initially ult when we engaged had more to do with waiting for the perfect time to get them to change targets. Nunu forces them to save CC or use it early and eat his ult. Ashe was popping my veil at will.. She's pretty good against Nunu specifically because of volley spam, rendering nunu to be useless outside of bloodboil/iceblast because his veil is always down. I had an opportunity to ult later and force them to focus me, who was already worth no gold, or they could take a ton of damage, or I can ult early and force early CC before my team is in place dealing damage. Ulting late(before my team dies) is typically the better decision, when my team is doing better than I am. Hell sometimes I was just ulting to zone or ulting to force someone to dive. IE - Kennen's flash into baron, or zoning their team away from Shen at Baron. (probably my last post here, enjoy shiz talkin )

I'm pretty sure a large part of nunu's utility requires him to get into situations where he will potentially die, and that's why you see him either with a million assists or a million deaths.

^.^ I main nunu too npnp

We could have the replay on hand and I could point out each minute I disagree with some of your zoning decisions. As I said, mostly you pulled back when you could have pressured and vice versa. I'm not even talked about the misclicked flash, everybody does mistakes out of pressure. As a purely decisional difference I would have rushed a HoG since the ashe was on your back. I have strongly been advocating against pumping Q past the 2nd rank, and I still leave it at 1 unless I am making the decision to counterjungle for the rest of the game. Basically the biggest thing was that I would have used your ult as an aoe slow whenever I had the chance, given your team comp.

But this proves that talking smack brings names to the forums :o

Plus Xpecial is like a kitten. You wiggle something shiny in his face and he will jump on it, no need for fancy ults^^
