I like how people are all surprised about this. Nunu's entire kit is around being an uncatchable asshole with good ranged harass and some of the stupidest sustain in the game. Then Smash goes "well I'll build gp10s and Chalice and just be as asshole top", and people suddenly realize it's bullshit.

Sometimes the most obvious solutions are the funniest.

well, if it's so damn obvious, why was I the only one abusing it in high level games after 3 weeks of remade nunu?

EDIT: I mean, sure, in retrospect, it's a straightforward solution to nunu's problems, but I dunno if saying it's obvious is necessarily fair.

Depends highly on junglers. Can really go either way, probably small edge to vlad, but idk, I've never played the matchup without the jungle being something stupidly lopsided like Ali for Vlad and Voli for me .

Not saying it's obvious to figure out, nor that I could have done it on my own, just that it shouldn't be surprising. People know super sustainable champs are stupid top (Udyr, WW top picks, Vlad and other mana-less mages to an extent), and Nunu has that + ranged harass and a "don't gank me bro" steroid.

Like, I look at that kit plus the items you build, and after 3 seconds of thinking realize "oh yeah, that's actually bullshit". But apparently most people don't believe it until they get fucked with it, which makes me laugh a bit.

Vs vlad, see what he said on last page: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=173812&currentpage=20#391

I'm still having trouble sometimes where I'm technically winning the lane (narrowly), but I feel like I can't really push my advantage much with Nunu because I can't commit to 1v1s against bursty opponents. So if they attack, I snowball, walk away, wait for e to get off cooldown; is that the best I can do?

I had trouble with GP and Darius like this. GP was a stalled lane for a few levels, but eventually he'd always force a longer trade if I tried to snowball (he'd eat oranges and just right-click me). Darius got an early invade kill and is lane he just zoned me from farming. Is there any replay on what the right play style with Mogwai's build is?
(Some lanes are ridiculously easy -- Jax in particular looks incredibly frustrating for the other player.)

I can't see Daruis being too strong vs him. No range, no speed, no dash = EW and laugh all day. Even if he pulls you, you should never be far from the wave to eat something.

GP sounds like it'd be a deadlock lane. You both have speed, he'll orange your snowball, you'll consume his Qs. Nunu should win by GP running oom first, though.

Vlad? Dunno, I have no idea how to counter that guy or even how he works. He's like some kind of voodoo witch doctor who eats your butt.

I think it's more apt to say that if more than 0.01% of the best players actually experimented with non-standard stuff, these sorts of builds or OP champions would be discovered far faster.

So laned a Darius, wasn't even close, you harass him quite a bit before he is level 3, and he can't damage you until he is level 3 at least, even then if he pulls you, just BB+iceball him, q away his q, he lost the trade. Once you hit 6, when he pulls you, you just ult and he dies in a fire... or rather freezes to death. At the least it burns his flash.

GP was a bit hard, you outharass him early, but he is still able to farm acceptably, and when you get ganked, if the jungler isn't an autoattacking one, your ice ball just is not that handy. Still think you have an advantage, though.

Vlad might be an issue, but I think you can manage to break his sustain, or at least mess with his farm.

Irelia was a bit of a problem for me, with her built in cc reduction, and high health regen she was able to stack MR (2 mantles in 1 game, negatron in game 2, but perhaps I was just not warding well, one of the games I died to a Riven gank and then my team folded to riven ganks while I outlaned Irelia for a while. Other game I was playing too cocky and trying to fight ire with her w going. But I'm still not sure if it was just the lack of any jungle intervention (pass up on free kills) that caused me to have an even lane.

vs Vlad I've noticed that you either out poke him or out cs him, but never both like you do in all the other lanes. It still takes a good jungler to win the lane, but you never really lose it if you don't try to both fight AND cs

I played vs Vlad last game. It didn't go well since I couldn't stop him from farming.

Laning against Yorick is pretty funny. You outsustain him, but dps on both sides is pretty low. He bought chalice first though, which delayed the inevitable getting pushed out of lane. Took me ages to run him out of mana, even when spamming everything on CD.

All you do is save consume for the sustain ghoul. Then he just doesnt sustain enough.

Protip at gold- elo: harass your opponent in /all chat for losing lane to yeti

I've gotten several rage quits as a result, also messes with their team cohesion
