fuck fuck fuck fuck me. i believe i have what i now call the doubting mogwai curse. i called him out on 5 dropped games as nunu, and now i have 3 in a row losses as nunu (4 in a row total) cause bot fed like 10-2 all 3 games. herp derp. here's to hoping i don't drop a 5th

so that this isn't a complete rage post: i kind of don't like how nunu top is so reliant on bot not completely fucking up. like, am i just playing mid-late game nunu wrong?

no, you are reliant on your bot lane not feeding uncontrollably. That's happened my last two games too and it sucks but what are you gonna do? It's not like any top lane can really overcome that shit.

Depends on the Elo. At low levels you just kind of shit on him once you take BB at level 4. Dodge every rupture/Spikes AA, spam snowball to out-dps, consume to outheal.

Eventually i think chogaths gonna hit a point where you wont be able to kill him and he can ignore you(like he can almost every top)

Yes, you're getting close enough for him to use his abilities on you. Snowball, run, and laugh. Works best with Nunu Bot.

Snowball range isn't so much higher that darius cant use his abilities :/

The 2 Darius' I faced sat in the minions meaning I either had to snowball and run and not CS or Snowball and CS only when consume was off CD. Idk just seems like a hard matchup I would need to see it


How is Darius able to do anything? All you do is throw an ice ball, if he pulls you, you immediately eat a creep, blood boil, walk away. He has now dealt like 50 damage to you from the bleed, and took like 150 damage from your ice ball. You can farm as long as he is slowed, which is like all of the time. All you have to do is make sure you are at full or almost full health. Once you hit 6, if he pulls you, just ult, you will outdamage him or force his flash.

This is true of the one game I played cho against nunu top in an inhouse. Even with a chalice+philo on nunu, if cho can last hit well, for nunu to push cho out of lane is pretty much impossible. If nunu snowballs cho constantly, as long as cho has some semblance of MR, just last hitting is enough to sustain him. If nunu wants to try autoattacking cho, silence + rupture and the damage from E means that nunu generally will come out behind and eventually will run oom consuming+snowballing on cooldown, even with his passive.

I think I was that Nunu. Did you get some godly lee ganks? Even though I was behind and sucked at dodged screams/grabbing CS, around lvl 4 and lvl 7 I was able to whittle you down still and force you out of CS/XP range before lee or katarina would come to kill me. You had a super early glacial and negatron too.

I think between two players of equal caliber it should be in Nunu's favor early, and if he can deny Cho XP he should be able to outlevel snowball over Cho's passive sustain. Punches also trade favorably with Vorpal because of the AS buff/debuff. After Chalice I never had any mana issues either.

OK, Riven is legitimately pretty hard. Shield harass, never get off an ult, slow means nothing to 4 dashes and a stun. Their Udyr jungler never got near me, but Riven was a bitch. Once I got Athene/Glacial, it was a lot easier since I took little damage and Consumed always, but the very early game was a bitch.

Edit: Not that it mattered, though. Come late game you're rather tanky, and all you need to do is slow/BB/ult everything and you already are boss mode. Riven couldn't stick to our Ezreal, BB'd him for a penta. Goal!

Ah what are you smoking where Darius trade with pull is 50 damage from bleed?

Pull auto QW is 3 stacks of bleed and a bunch of damage

You can heal off most of that damage with Consume (never trade without minions around), and since he has nothing outside of pull and your slow > his, he shouldn't be able to stick to you. Plus, if he uses pull, just hit Ult. Outside of Apprehend, he has nothing which can disrupt it, so just start ulting on his face if he pulls you, guaranteed flash or fuckton of damage.

Yeah jax was pretty easy. My jungler fed him early kills which made it rough but it wasn't too bad. Won the game and I hit 1600! Yay Nunu top

You deal with riven by going support nunu or banning her

Shouldn't you lose to shen, or at the very least turn it into a farmfest? He can just shield off all your harass, you can consume his Q, he can freely ult because you can't really push etc(unless you'd run promote).

Yesterday i had one o those games against darius, he got completely zoned for the first 5 levels, then got a gank and dodged the kill in return to my death. From then on, he just destroyed me. As i mostly mess up to consume in the fights, i usually do bad in close duels, so that was my bad, but the stomp that resulted was very unpleasent. Problem i see is, you can bully them, but most other champs can far mso much better then you. Nunu does so little aa-damage that i miss a lot of cs early while harassing and champs like Darius can just aoe the whole wave. Same problem with farming under turret, if they manage to push you somehow (mostly due to you dieing) you lose so many cs, it hurrrrts.

But i guess that's mostly me being bad.

If Darius wants to AoE clear the whole wave, let him, it puts him into dangerous ground given the fact that he has no escape skills vs someone who can permaslow him, as well as outrun him.

Darius is a lane where you take a second level of Q at 4, but really given the start of small golems or wraith little golem, you start roughly half a level up. This means you hit 2 first, so you can chunk him decently before he is level 2. For that matter, he deals no damage until level 3, since you can just consume a minion. Him using Q pushes the wave harder than you eating a minion. You should be able to establish an HP lead over Darius early because of the XP lead you have. Until his Q is level 3, consume outheals his Q. While his Q has a shorter cooldown, your E outranges his Q, and your Q definately outdoes the cooldown on his E. Therefore, if he wants to pull you, your consume will be ready way before he can pull you again. When he uses Q, you can simply freeze the lane, E when he gets close. If he pushes the advantage (and is practically diving someone with a permaslow), then what is your jungler doing? In general, you can just get aggressive with your E's when you have full health. Just never engage him (if his e is up) with less than full/almost full health post 6 (nom a jungle creep if needed)

i've only gone up against one shen and I beat him pretty decisively for like levels 1-6. His shield cooldown is pretty high until he gets it to level 4 or 5, so you can still harass him pretty darn hard.

I've only played him once as well, but this is pretty close to how my game went. He also, tried trading a lot early, which I felt I won pretty handily. I got philo/chalice first and he really just couldn't do anything. If the lane was pushed he would die and after like lvl 8/9 I was able to 1v1 him easily. I also took teleport. This was one of the games that I snowballed hard after 1 kill and carried with a ww jungle. Even without the kill I was winning in cs and I'm not su
