Fizz can't beat nunu, if he goes pure ap, he can't burst sufficiently to kill him in one go, and if he goes bruiser, nunu's e rapes his damage output. Fizz also has no sustain, and horrifying mana issues, nunu has the exact opposite.

When should you be selling gp10s? When you run out of item slots and need to buy something?

I have a hard time selling them or converting them because of too much RTS. Gotta using money to make more money.

Generally when you run out of item slots. The rule of thumb is ~12minutes is how long you have to hold your gp10 to of had them pay off if you sell them.

I typically don't sell them until I can sell them and immediately buy a completed item, usually aegis, abyssal or wit's end, typically after at least glacial + revolver, if not the full FH + WotA.

Agreed, but it went down from 40 to 10, so it's pretty negligible atm. It's tough because you don't want to make regen + tenacity so expensive that no one buys it... Though I guess no one buys it now anyway so lol, w/e.

I still think we have a few days left at least until he's first pick/first ban in solo que. I thought we'd have a good 2 weeks but now that ~2000 people are gonna try it from reddit it will spread FAST. It was inevitable either way, but tbh i'm just gonna brush up on my riven tonight and it should be fine

Dammit Smash, now I have to babysit tops even harder when jungling >:\

Edit: speaking of which, do you think that this build can work in the jungle as well? Obviously it's super strong top, but 9/21/0 is normal jungle masteries and 9/0/21 isn't too bad either, plus going Philo/Kage could easily fit a jungle champ. Or do you think Chalice/Shroud is too expensive for a jungler to build most games?
It's your boy Guzma!

I don't know if nunu is any different now than before but when I ran nunu top I felt like I fell off hard even though my build was still chalice frozen heart. A pantheon with less than 30 cs and tons of mana regen when I had over 100 ended up going 5-0 by leaving lane and ganking elsewhere. He still lost because... no cs.

I've always had troubles with nunu but felt he fell off compared to even kayle. You can play other dicks like sion or yi if you dont want to farm under tower in lane though.

I do understand that shen is permabanned at my levl for a reason, but holy cow. I am pretty sure that Shen is on another powerlevel right now and betas most top lanes, but that was just ridiculous. He started shield and outtraded me, out sustained me and all of that without needing mana. So is there even a slightest chance of fighting a highsustain heroe like Shen or GP or Yorick? Warwick got destroyed because he couldn't fight back, but which heroes should i, by any means, avoid if possible? And if i do get them in blind pick, how do i play? That shen just get me to 50%, then he dove me, getting 3-4 tower hits, me stunning him with w and still getting away. Wtf?

Panth vs Shen is pretty much an autolose match up. I didn't know either, until my first experience with it. It's one of the worst scenarios that can happen as a Panth player. As Panth you want to be avoiding any champion that has a spammable shield or very high regen. Pretty much anyone that can shrug off your harass and can beat you in a war of attrition with ease is going to make you have a bad day.

You should be able to beat GP though. GP is different from Shen and Yorick mainly because his Q counts as a basic attack so your shield blocks his harass, and he runs out of mana much more if he's leveling his W for sustain (whereas Shen can spam his Q and his W pretty much for free, and Yorick naturally builds mana items while also being able to harass and heal with his E). Generally it seems that you can outtrade GP but Shen shits on you and Yorick is just an asshole.

I really don't think Shen beats most top lanes or anything like that though. He's "safe" I guess, but he still has bad match ups. He just happens to be really good against Panth.

rofl, W maxing GP running out of mana. very fanneh joek.

GP W costs 65 mana. Period. Mana never goes up. It heals 80/150/220/290/360. It is the single most mana efficient heal in lane in the game by level 5. By a lot. This is why I tell people that GP is perfectly able to beat Pantheon in lane. You just play like a poon, sit back, eat your oranges with a defensive spec and he can't stop you from farming.

GP's actually pretty much impossible to lose a lane with if you just show up with 0/21/9, defensive quints and W focus. The character's really really stupid.

As for Shen, well, he's really not that bad. It should be pretty much a free farm lane both ways with ganks being fairly lethal either way. He can run you out of mana if you're throwing spears at him and he's maxing W, but if you see him maxing W, you can just say fuck it and farm. If instead he maxes his Q, then you trade spears for vorpals and come out fairly even.

This is just math but 360 life every 18 seconds isn't enough to heal all of panth's spears. If panth hits for 180 damage on each spear, and he throws two spears every 8 seconds then he can eat through the heal in 8 seconds. Yeah gp can sit out of spear range, but as long as panth doesn't run out of mana, he can trade effectively enough such that one of them has to leave lane.

Nunu heals for 345 every 10 seconds for 60 mana. I've beaten panth as max Q nunu but he brought me pretty low too, and with chalice and mana regen runes on both sides the fight probably comes down to skill rather than defensiveness being stronger.

At the very least it isn't that clear who wins in lane, especially with jungler intervention.

The problem is you're trying to compare 2 very different top styles. Nunu's ability in lategame is much different than kayles.

similar to the soraka mid, vs other ap mids, the lategame usage is different. Or comparing nautilus to shyvanna.
Nunu's main ability lategame is an anti-carry, while being a support/tank.
Kayles late game ability is off/semi-carry, along w/ that ulti.

It was maybe just me being bad, but I had huge problems against a darius who got FB on invade. Only around lvl 9-11 i felt like I could match him, but still. :-/

A post from a while ago.


well for one I think kayle scales pretty decently late game since you can basically build her like an AD carry, and have 2x AD carries in end game.

regarding nunu vs panth:
That math is fine, if you only consider that panth is the only an aggressor and that nunu is only a defender in a sort of vacuum. Panth spear range is comparable to iceball range (600 vs 550), which means that in all likelihood, you are taking an iceball for most spears thrown. Nunu's iceball also has comparable damage to panth spearshot (I think it ends up being slightly less around the midgame due to scaling, but figuring it out is not something i'm interested in doing). Now what you're looking at is that nunu really only has to heal at minimum the difference in damage output of spear vs iceball, which I think consume is quite capable of doing.

now, in practice, I have no idea how nunu vs pantheon goes, but strictly comparing nunu's consume regen to panth's spear dmg output doesn't really give the full picture.

edit: another thing to consider in the gp & nunu vs panth situation is that parley is blocked by path shield, and panth can reasonably block a significant chunk of them with minimal effort. That's why gp can literally almost never be the aggressor vs pantheon and you can actually more directly compare gp healing to panth spearshot dmg. Iceball isn't affected by shield.

edit2: unrelated to above, but i had some issues vs a darius who rushed exe's calling and used it to cockblock my consumes. Ofc, that same game I also had MCMilo's olaf completely wrecking both myself and the rest of my team and eventually diving me every 5 minutes, so that might have contributed to my issues as well
