@Jazz: derp, thanks.
@Sufficiency: I think Simon says Revolver into tank for a reason but it's still situational. I played a game yesterday where I had Sunfire, Visage, FH and with the 40% CDR/Consume, I was surviving every team fight (not that I was ever the main focus of the enemy team). So since I wasn't at risk of dying, what use is a 4th defensive item? So that's why I'm asking the question in general. If I'm sufficiently tanky, what's the best offensive option for that 6th item slot?


IMO the single slot best damage item is Trinity Force. If you build high CDR, you can proc spellblade pretty often.

As far as I remember, top Nunu use to include Athenes into tank, with visage and randuins probably. Not so much about damage but the extra mana really helps to win lane

Why not Banshee's since people would probably get obsessed with your ult and throw spells at you? Or, just because shit like Ziggs is so popular and you're melee anyway, it's not worth building it at it'll always be popped before you need the shield (eg. when you ult)?

Gauntlet sounds like a plan, although I don't feel like calling it a "hybrid" item after Riot destroyed the tanky part of it (and reduced the CDR, dumping some more on Shroud).

Also, what's your playstyle playing Nunu top in the current patch? I assume baron shenanigans are a lot harder what with the nerfs, and pushing towers past the first too, although you can probably still pretty much force the jungler or mid to come to you often if you don't want to group too early.
Do you instead try to get a lead in lane, deny the other guy, then go for a drake (do you take TP or Ignite?) and use Blood Boil to push the outer turrets ring super fast, trying to snowball the game with all that gold if your comp isn't the best (Nunu not the best diver himself for lack of burst/sustained damage output)?
What do you max? Iceball with 1-2 additional points in Consume if you feel like you need it? Do you sometimes run into the jungle just to take a monster's buff?
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

Is the Riot server lagging for anyone else? My game is stuck. My friend said his game has no problem and I can relog back on the client but when I click the reconnect button it doesn't reconnect.

It was originally Athenes -> Revolver -> Frozen Heart/Whatever iirc.
youcCould solo baron with Athenes/Revolver/Blue i believe

I still maintain nunu is the absolute best counter when Vlad gets popular tho. It feels like you can deny him so much and at 6 force pool and just walk up and ult him and he will flat out die because theres nothing he can do to stop you lolol.

There were always different ways to play top lane Nunu. The teamliquid bandwagon was definitely to copy SmashGizmo's build http://mogwaismusings.com/2012/07/31/developing-solo-top-nunu/

Pshh. If you dissent from banality, it is your duty to suggest a topic of greater merit.

Therefore, I propose that all jungle specific items should be removed from the game as they have continually failed to promote jungle diversity, which was the stated goal.

God, FF was such a good item, the nerf to 30stack was already enough, they had to go all the way and kill it altogether.
