Maybe its because I'm running 9/0/21 still instead of 9/21/0 but I've found I can't bully Darius hard until rank 2 consume and rank 3 snowball.

I rarely run 9/0/21 anymore at all. Using Yeti paws too tempting, and don't need gold masteries when you just kill everything and win lane.

Have you guys thought about running split pen quints at all for top Nunu?

Do like mpen reds, armor yellows, mr/level blues, split pen quints.

Damage on snowball is so high base, might be more efficient.

Split pen reds are the core on this thread, unless it's someone you can't trade autos with. AP Quints are stronger, imo.

darius hard lane wtf he is easy unless you mess up, he has no sustain you just snowball him till he has to leave gg

At lvls 1-3 you can't really stand near creeps because he will just kill you.

Darius has no mana costs. Consume and snowball actually cost mana.

lolwut

Utilize passive, trade autos with him. If he ever stands and fights in creeps, eat something and laugh at him.


I would love to see you beat a Darius in 1v1 at lvl 2 with Nunu. I don't think it's possible.

So if you guys are on blue team and really brave and your opponents are bad and have a jungler that starts at blue, you can run vamp quints and cdr blues and steal big wraith-> red at level 1 while still having a decent health pool remaining (drink health pot tho)

Also, don't punch darius. It's been stated before in this thread.

I'm sure you could probably do just Red without changing runes, maybe run 2 red pots 1 blue or 3 red if you want to be extra safe.

And I'll do what I want. I run 9/21 against him anyway, I generally feel tanky enough to slap his shit.

Pretty sure vs. Darius you throw snowballs and kite. If he grabs you, snowball his face and do your best to walk away (even if he slows you, his slow is weaker) and then continue snowballing while his LONGASS GRAB COOLDOWN isn't available. 2 or 3 free snowballs later, all with no potential for him grabbing you and fighting + you consuming off the damage, you should be winning the "trade."
Darius has no built-in sustain, so you don't try to win the quick trades, you try to end them ASAP and outlast him.

Mighty yeti paws are more for ranged or AP opponents who can't hit back very effectively in melee when their cooldowns are off.

I beat Darius by playing super passive until he attempts a pull and misses it (yay free damage time) or hits it (fck run away run away, ok now I get 2 free snowballs).

I lose to Darius whenever I try to go for yeti paws, even when his hook is on CD. He doesn't rely on autos that much to trade damage as W is a reset and Q puts stacks on you. With 4 stacks of bleed you've lost the trade unless you're way ahead of him already.

Your Q is 16 seconds at rank 1 which is forever vs Darius' short CDs and low mana costs.

As blue with nunu, i find it nearly impossible to not successfully steal red at lvl 2. I'm pretty sure like 0/100 people ward red now, and nunu can't die even if hes caught, mostly.

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.

Problem with any kind of penetration quints for Nunu is that AP quints A) have a better stat-conversion rate, B) AP also increases the amount you heal via consume. By a lot.

I mean, the second point is moot compared to vamp quints, but 15 damage on iceball AND 15 heal on Q is too good to give up

Has anyone tried using exhaust on top nunu? I think it might be nice because it makes it harder for people to get out of ults. I think it's way more useful in teamfights since I usually just try to keep the carries alive.

So, I've been trying out exhaust/ignite top; while I'm not playing real good players (I'm ~1600s), I feel super strong fighting pretty much anyone. If jungler comes, exhaust can help escapes too. Maybe exhaust/flash might be nice?

Snowball > Ult does the same thing Exhaust would. You're better off having flash to catch someone, ignite to better dive someone, or TP to aid team fights.
