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 -_- | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Well, it's been discussed to death for the last 20 page or so but this should do the trick: http://mogwaismusings.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/developing-solo-top-nunu | ||

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. | ||

Ward cautiously and ask mid to ward their part if you're afraid of ganks. | ||

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. Push lane, keep tabs on the jungler, and nom jungle creeps Edit: SV on nunu? Cdr seems wasted if built last, but damn dat heal, mr , health is all good | ||

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 :-) | ||
