he's got some pretty good match ups mid atm thoso I think that is your safest bet, this also allows you to get a void staff (eventually) so your W actually cranks out the damage on those SV rushing top lanes.
ofc he has a little bit of trouble vs anyone 1-3 but he's good vs. Kayle, especially if you have a jungler who can punish pushing early to protect him early. He can actually keep up in farm with ziggs as well as poke post 6. Nidalee can't handle his shoving once he has items, and can't really punish the pick pre 6
the rise of jungle/mid kha'zix however is a problem. Nunu too terribad in lane imo. Kog already troublesome in lane as is. They're gunna get wrecked in laning. Also fotm adc very bursty, so snowball from nunu not gunna change enemy adc's dmg output.
Nunu is much better in lane than people give him credit for. He can't run the show solo like Annie but he really isn't going to lose an all-in fight ever as long as his ADC is with him.

nunus base damage on snowball is pretty intense, da level 1 all ins against pretty much any lane but annie can be hilarious and really snowbally no pun intended ;/

I'm still really interested to see if Yasuo gets used in pro games. I mean, tons of pro players have been spamming him in soloq, so there seems to be some reason to learn him. I think you need at least one other knock-up for him to be really effective, but when you're drafting a team that's fairly easy to accommodate. Yeah ive been playing him myself aswell can he can be scarily effective if there is an on demand knockup in your comp tho there are lots of small knockups you dont really think about on various champions.
He's pretty dope with Vi/Rock for instant gibbing their adc, esp since his ults teleport range is like the entire screen. :S

Gragas jungle is super fun :3 i wasnt able to play lol for long time so i just played it for first time <3

The problem is that lucian sivir and jinx are short trade adc's. So AS in lane is not a big deal for them, so lane phase trades doesnt affect enemy adc's that much. As opposed to stuff like ashe, cait, vayne, etc.

Still a pretty big boost lategame, that and snowballs hurt + the lolslow

after the nerf to rank 1 zap! I wouldn't call Jinx attack speed independant at all, and Draven gets rolled by nunu snowball, I mean you aren't going to dominate a lane with nunu but he is playable if your gameplan is to do sick damage to tanks with kog'maw with bloodboil + snowball peel.
lane phase (in soloq) matters about as little as it ever has since I started playing atm, sometimes you can get away with bullshit like lanes that just don't get crushed but won't win.

I wonder if we won't see the pros go with a weird rune page for Yasuo, maybe something like 5% crit rune red + AD red, armor yellow, mr blues with AD quints. Try to get him to hit a 100% crit rate timing with Shiv + IE and go into tankiness items like Randuins, Sunfire and Visage with Merc Treads or Zerker greaves. I mean, its what, like 6500 gold to get shiv + IE and after that every attack you do is at 240% crit damage, assuming you get the 5% crit runes?

Bjergsen uses 5%crit, rest marks ad, and 6% LS.

That's a bunch of weird leaps in logic. Sure those champions don't have special synergy with attack speed like Vayne, but they're still AD carries... Nunu turns winning trades (which those champs create with their burst) into kills by hasting him and his carry while slowing the enemy.

someone (not me) suggested that page like day2 and I've been running it ever since I don't know if I'm willing to give him too much credit for common sense.

It's hardly leap of logic. The difference is stuff like cait does like 25% of their lane trade damage in first half second with her headshot passive to her Q. Then does majorty of her follow up damage is auto attacks. So engages are drawn out, thus hugely vulnerable to AS debuffs. While stuff like Lucian does 90% of his engage damage in like 2 seconds, with q passive w passive. E passive engage. All of which are not affected by his AS. Sivir in lane has Qdmg, then auto attack cancel, which is like 70% of her engage damage in lane. All of which are not AS dependent.
As far as jinx goes, she probably does get hurt by nunu AS debuff pretty hard in early level, esp if you're q maxing.

So Cheep is a shitter, and he's apparently got a mafia spy network planted in the North American server. So I countered with support Jarvan.

Dusty are you saying you using reasoning to decide how to create your rune page. Are you allowed to that!? Im pretttttty sure its mandated that we have to copy pro players unquestioningly.

To me that would scream squishy with no armor or MR runes to start off with Oo.
Now Bjergsen is a much better player then me so i have no doubt he can make it work but I have to wonder if the 5% crit is worth the trade-off. The difference between 90 and 100% crit isnt that big in terms of actually performance.
