I'm curious to try out SV's attackspeed jungling Nunu. Anybody know what masteries/runes he primarily uses for it?

i have to say i was startled yesterday when i tried nunu out again by the difference the attack speed buff makes. Bloodboil is significantly stronger and the extra free spells help out with his mana and clear speed by a LOT. I had the good fortune to have the opposing jungler be a slow guy (malphite) and i don't think i've ever raped a jungle so hard. When i went back for the first time at 11 minutes and had enough for deathcap i knew i was pretty much committed to troll items and indeed deathfire grasp jungle nunu did carry the day. New favorite counterpick to gimmick junglers.

I'm playing nunu as a support at around 1400. And tbh i freaking love him!

But i can't decide which template to go. I have two and both are doing great, but can't find the BEST :D
If you could help me

1st template:
red : magic pen / yellow : armor / blue : mr
quint : hp/5

0/7/23 with 3 points in vigor and strenght of spirit

so mass hp/5 with runes + masteries

2nd template

red : magic pen / yellow : armor / blue : mr
quint : health

0/9/21 (normal masteries)

so mass early health.

I guess i can harass more with the first template, but if i get caught by early ganks, i won't survive a gank i would have survived with health. And with the second one i can survive more but i'm losing some sustain in lane. What do you think?

Do you think it'd be worth it to build nunu as a traditional bruiser? I don't mean full out ghostblade atma's but I just mean avoiding AP items and building a wriggles atmogs phage aegis negatron. Nunu already has the best(?) health scaling in the game and his bloodboil affects both him and another target. I feel like his E is used mostly for the slow effect though it can pick up clutch kills. In addition his ult is a bit too inconsistent to be worth considering as a 2.5 AP ratio skill. It's still very strong with no AP items.

Just realized too, that when I play morgana I should focus more on blackshielding allied nunus and katarinas in team fights.

Come to think of it.... M5 should really have ran Morgana mid if they were going to have a nunu support. WTF clear team synergy.

Na, AP scales too well on him.

If you wanna take advantage of blood boil on yourself more, you need solo farm and the build is:
dring
boots
revolver
RoA
finish with Triforce, Frozen Heart, FoN, and Gunblade as necessary.

It's janky and takes forever, but it's pretty hilarious when you're getting stupid amounts of farm. I just can't justify Warmog's over RoA as the primary source of HP on Nunu, the costs are too similar, and RoA just gives you the stats you want much better than Mog's does.

I still like the idea of bruiser nunu, but I've been having second thoughts on jungling nunu since his burst really isn't that great. I don't think I'll ever jungle him again.

I almost stopped reading after i read "don't be a noob and grab flash". I find this to be a truly pathetic guide in general that only covers 1 aspect (jungle) of nunu, and a very inefficient version of him in this role at that. Your skill priorities for jungling are all wrong, not a lot makes sense here :S This isn't intended as a personal attack agains the OP, just the guide (a very disapointing one...)
It might just be personal opinion but I don't find nunu to be viable in any role except support (yes jungle can work in solo queue but there are just so many better junglers out there). The first post should've focused on support nunu with a side section on jungling and maybe another on solo trolling...

so, I tried AP nunu and failed pretty badly. Can't figure out how to play him and whats his role. Tank, off-tank, jungler, CC-er or support? Can someone give advice how should I build him, what do I do in teamfights? Yeah I know, W your carry, E their carry, R after they used their stun spells. But everytime everything seem to go wrong. Generally speaking, do you buy wards and go with your carries or you just focus on farming? Do you tank a lot of damage or do you just stay aside and help your team with spells? whats usual kda ratio on nunu? general advice would be appreciated.
thanks.

Edit: nvm, it turns out tank Nunu (with 0/21/9) is the best. Use your ult to CC, not to damage, but if it does then its nice bonus. Get some CDR defense items like Frozen Heart and Randuin's shield, then proceed to spam abilities. Nunu has the best health scaling throughout the game and you can tank lots of damage. Buff your carry, nerf their carry, chase down enemies, overall very fun champ and everyone loves you in your team
Its grack

AP NuNu is basically a cheesy lane dominator that turns into a support late game who can also win teamfights if given the opportunity.
If you want to play AP nunu, build Hextech -> WotA, Spirit Visage, and Deathcap in some order, then get tank items with any additional money you happen to get. Usual KDA is something like 5/3/1515135. Most of your kills come in lane, with a few from teamfights or ganks. Most of your deaths will be when you get ganked in lane or when you ult in teamfights. Your number one goal is to totally shut down their top laner. Your secondary goal is to shut down their mid. Run mid any time their top lane goes back, or any time you're pushed to near tower and can scare top off creeps. There are tons of cheesy tricks you can pull to threaten top and mid. You should also consider aggressively warding enemy jungle, so that you and your jungler can counterjungle if convenient.

I had some 1800+ games with jungle nunu. One getting stomped against one, one with him and him stomping, and two games where I stomp the enemy (unfortunately for the other team both times it was against a jungle alistar). Steal their big wraith at 1:40, take blue but not with smite. Steal their red with q+smite. Gank a lane. I start boots 3 pot, with my udyr runes (asp,armor,mr/lvl,movementspeed), and my amumu/rammus runes (0/21/9). Just build straight tank shit, philo, hog, kindlegem etc. CDR hp, since you have a free heal for all your ganks/jungling. He's pretty good now that they nerfed all the jungle camps hp, making autoing the small creeps after eating the big one a rather quick way to clear. With his movement speed and heal and slow he's a great candidate like udyr for an early oracles.

Well he has high base AD / tankyness, and he has a built-in super steroid with his W. How is it that bad?

You can if you want, no one stopping you but there is an issue about viability.
None of Nunu's skills scale with AD. How is he going to be tanky when his Q has zero AP scaling?
You'd literally be an autoattacker that has some slow. None of your abilities are going to do damage, so what DPS are we talking about?

Nunu has no ad scaling... His only DPS will come from his W-steroid.
His ult makes him be in the middle of the fight and be focused down, when he ults he can't do his dps.

It's bad because he is not made to be tanky-dps.

Edit: I have to say tho, it can be fun to do this sometimes on your smurf or normals... just don't try to do this in ranked

Just do AP Nunu solo top. It's really really strong against some bruisers. He has infinite hp and his snowball has a crazy ratio. Especially if they have no proper CC or it's obvious engagement CC they just die. For example if you Nunu vs Irelia she can't really jump E you or you just ulti her and she's dead. I think people should experiment with that some more. Crazy buff for AD carry in the lategame.

In addition, he's one of the best carrydivers in the game. In teamfight flash -> snowball their AD and he's worthless.
