Ok, so MBR is still shit (at least with the build you're running).

WHat is MBR? :S

Why people try to theorycraft when Smash is around is beyond me. l0l

He plays Noonoo in ranked. Please try out his suggestions before you offer (counter) opinions, thx.

The thing is that I never get to 4th/5th item on nunu and when I do, it's typically selling off philo for a 2K-.2.5Kish item which is usually aegis, abyssal, or zeke's. I think MBR, Lichbane and Triforce are all reasonably good items on Nunu in theory, but you never hit the money for them. The realistic options for more damage on autos are gunblade (only if WotA really doesn't make sense for your team) since you're getting revolver anyway and Wit's End as a 4th item (haven't played with it yet, but it makes a good bit of sense if you need MRes and your team already has an aegis).

mbr does far more damage and is more efficient than wits, so as a last item it makes sense if you have magic pen.

mbr is also far far far more expensive... not to mention 2/3 of mbr's components are relatively worthless on nunu. whereas wit's is cheap, and no part of it is worthless.

you seem to be missing the point where I never have the money to complete it. Again, I have no problem with the theory behind MBR on Nunu, but in practice, I never have 3.8K to waste after my core and I see it as strictly inferior to Nunu's purpose as the rest of the core that I've put together.

How are you supposed to play AGAINST NunuTop? I've gotten crushed every time I've tried, as several characters - Riven, Kayle to name a few laners who I had previously considered "rather hard to lane counter"

Doesn't help that it's not obvious where nunu is going when he's picked.

You should faceroll him with shield maxing Riven, it's really frustrating as nunu.

Kayle gets hard countered by nunu, nothing you can do.

You can also sell your soul and start playing ramble.

It's k, ramble will be fixed soon and gandhi will lose the elos.

Unless, of course, he starts playing nunu top again (which, btw, we were theory crafting and figuring out 2 months ago, u 2 slow smash)

Neo and I were theorycrafting and testing solo top nunu since February, so yea, sorry, nope, you're still a ways behind us. We kinda gave up on it for a number of reasons, but Grail and the Nunu buffs were enough to get me back on the wagon and now I am king nunu.

D= (actually, gandhi may have gotten the idea from neo, we coulda been doing it around the same time, don't remember exactly when)

Grail is awesome, and I think the nunu buffs were slightly too much. He really is very scary now. There just too many op things to ban right now.

Just keep putting points into shield until I'm ahead enough? I normally don't put more than like 2 points in the shield early, but that makes sense - absorb his mana-intensive harass and you're better at autos than he is, and can hop around to deal with being slowed.

depends how high their sustain is. if they have high sustain (riven, udyr, lee sin) or do a reasonable amount of magic damage (teemo, kayle, jax, udyr), I get it after ninja tabi, otherwise I get it after glacial shroud.

hahaha, yea, especially since you frequently don't have to attack or anything, can just E, shift + 4, W, E, shift + 4 as you chase someone down and slowly kill them.

In the fourth game I tried to play Nunu top, I finally managed to.
After the enemy team firstpicked Shen and I announced that I will play Nunu top, only 2 people asked if I'll be able to do well.(in the first 3 lobbies, the usual "omgtrollnoobuninstalldieincancer" guys told me to not do, so I didn't play him:'( )
Ended with 1/1/17, 1/0/4 and ~60 cs up after 15 mins.
Smash's build works like a charm.

bloodboil your carry, ice ball their carry or their bruisers, charge ult after the initial cc exchange in an area that is advantageous for your team, find creeps to eat when you're low HP. The thing is, even if a fight ends with even exchanges, if your team still has nunu up, you get to take an objective because he's at full HP and no one else is because consume + max CDR + spellvamp is absurd.
