You deal with riven by going support nunu or banning her

Every other lane you don't lose

Can't lee do the same thing as riven? Combination of jumps and spammable shields and sustain make nunu sad.

Like i said, i had no problem playing vs the darius for the first levels, he was so zoned most of the time, that i could just farm the wave and be happy. But then he got a gank, my wave pushed into my turret and suddenly he was in even cs out of nowhere. From lvl 6 on, he traded quite well and then he could simply all in me.

Wow. Top Nunu is ridiculous. Even with jungler camping you, it's hilarous untouchable you are.

Only problem is getting a team to utilize Nunu's abilities.

I swear, you a enter 20 minutes like 4-0, 3-4x top lane CS, their jungler way behind, and your team decides to do the derps -_-

I feel like top Nunu is very similar to Yorick, but even more annoying. You'll usually win lane, but you're highly reliant on your bot lane not getting destroyed during lane phase. As long as that happens, you win the game.

Except slightly better, as BB is up way more than Yorick ult.

As to the Lee matchup, I haven't tried it yet, but I don't think he chunks nearly as hard as Riven does with her combo, and you can somewhat counter his passive AS bonus with Snowball. Plus, he only really has Q to get in range (well, E as well if you're on top of creeps I suppose, which is slightly less mobile than Riven's quadra-dash, especially if you dodge the skillshot. His sticking power is also tied to his slow, which BB + Snowball should let you get away a bit easier.

I can't imagine it's an easy matchup, but I don't see him as nearly as hard of a lane, imo.

Does Nunu's ult still go off if he diess? (i.e. does it count as an interrupt)

I've been trying to find the legit build because I'm doing Boots + 3 -> Philo -> Chalice / WOTA and it's fine, but I feel like it could be optimized some. I guess I can skip Philo with Chalice now that I think about -_- Anyone know what the best build is?

You're GOING to be in the creeps if you want to CS, though, and it seems like he can use E to land a short-range Q. Also, lee putting a few points into W has a pretty ridiculous amount of sustain, plus he can possibly pick up sustain from items too if that's not enough.
I think the real problem comes that he can outpush you, though (and not be afraid of snowballs being tossed at him) and then go roam. Lee's roam is pretty strong, after all.


The GP10s for nunu come at a timing that you're probably not going to kill your lane opponent outright, but aren't threatened by them either. For this reason, unless the lane is atypical for some reason, you'll have plenty of time for them to pay themselves off before you need "real items" (chalice glacial->grail FH)

If you're dying in lane, or a small boost in CDR/mana regen would let you kill your opponent (aka you're going even instead of making them completely miserable) then you can skip 1 or both GP10s in favor of getting your core earlier. A WW lane seems like a good example - once you have your chalice, you can drive him out of lane until he gets his, though I don't think you'd ever have the mana to beat his Qtrading without the chalice.

Smash, what do you think about going codex before chalice in lanes where you don't need as much mana? (like, their trading ability is shut down by snowballs, so you don't need to consume for health as often.) Still gives some mana, but you get earlier AP and CDR than chalice first.

I'm trying to go with 9/21/0 masteries vs the though matchups (Riven, XZ, Yorick). If they're still hard, maybe swapping the quints for Armor/MR instead of flat AP.

Well, it's been discussed to death for the last 20 page or so but this should do the trick:

Discussed to death is exactly what I don't want. I wanted Smash's original build, and didn't know about that website. Thanks though.

Looks like my Nunu games are just cursed, whenever I pick him lately (after going 16-8 with him) our bot lane decides to feed hard (typically around 0/6 at 7 minutes), and in team fights I simply have no target worth blood boiling, which really hurts our total damage output.

I also tend to not get many kills as Nunu even when I win the lane hard. Some of this is probably because I always take teleport/flash instead of ignite/flash. Does everyone think ignite/flash is a lot better?
I always use teleport for an early back to get a quick item advantage without missing any waves; if the opponent didn't have to back already, he will after that, and I'm usually at a slight level advantage when he gets back. And later I often get to pick up (or at least secure) kills when bot is ganked or there is a dragon fight. But perhaps ignite really would be better.

Also, solo/duo baron with nunu is ridiculously fun.

It would be nice if OP was updated but discussion is good for understanding Plus someone asks that question every few pages.

Ignite/Flash is what I run, really helpful for picking up kills and trading vs sustain-y people like WW. However, you shouldn't expect a bunch of kills in lane. You don't really have the killing potential of other champs, but you will harass and out-sustain them to the point where they're useless later in the game. If you get kills, great, but you should win hard without them.

One thing a singed did to me when I was playing normals as teemo months ago was he just kept pushing the lane as I attacked him, headed back, and then came to lane before I'd had the chance to push it again. Play like a noob. You don't have to always freeze the lane. Lots of champs can (some need a few levels) push the wave to tower before nunu breaks through their health bar.

Ward cautiously and ask mid to ward their part if you're afraid of ganks.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Push lane, keep tabs on the jungler, and nom jungle creeps

I think like 75% of the people on TL LoL are playing Nunu at least on the side, if not more. It's absurd and awesome.

I don't think I can play nunu top anymore. Recently my teams just rage too hard in champ select, it's like an auto loss. Like last game I had a duo q who didn't like the pick, so they decided to come top with me (ap trist and jax?) so I had to 2v1 bot lane. I ended up winning it against ashe / ali, cause nunu is a fuckin beast, but the damage was already done in the hearts and minds of my team mates. So iunno, i might stick to more well known tops until the world see's nunu's greatness as self evident it's pretty lame getting called a mother f-ing C*** and told to rot in hell in champ select, just for pickin nunu.

Out of curiosity, at what ELO is this?

I'm only at ~1300 myself, but it has never been this bad. I usually get something like "nunu top? really?" or "i think nunu sucks top", but haven't seen any real trolling/raging yet save for some snarky comments when I don't do particularly well. The only people that really tilted were on the other team :-)
