smash, if i may, i was doing random lolking surfing and i looked you up. why is there 5 losses in a row as nunu? is there something flawed with nunu top or is it just one of those soloqueue drops?

played quite a bit of nunu top now, and every time i go negative or even, team wins. now i went 8-1 in lane and team score was 8-19 -.-

but seriously, great job on inventing this build, smash. really enjoying it so far, it's really good fun.

No, I saw some of those games on his stream. Can't carry everything :\

After now actually using it myself, this build is even more bullshit. Makes me sad, I'm going to be playing Nunu top for free wins instead of Jayce top for fun :\

Laming agaiinst Yorick with Nunu is the greatest feeling. I feel bad using this build against some champs. Not him, though.

I played smash's build from the jungle yesterday. After losing blue to an invade and a horribly coordinated team, I ended up going 4-0-2 and getting grail in 16 minutes. Then our Ashe whined that I never went bot (they were always pushed, were doing fine, and top needed my help a lot more - also did I mention I was 4-0-2?) Ended up like 9-5-17 or something after she decided to just jungle all game, effectively making it a 4v5. Took over an hour, ended up with a full build (Grail, FH, WotA, Deathcap, Void Staff, sell boots for RoA and spam W) and carried to victory. Nunu too stronk. I'd recommend running the same build out of the jungle if you're mid-low elo and someone else calls top.

Man, I saw Doomtorobo running nunu top on some streams, he makes nunu look so weak lol. Smash's build seems so much better than his triple dorans and gp10 build lol.

Boot 1 hp 2 mana pots is so important for early power plays. If this wasn't mentioned earlier I'd still be running boots 3hp pots like a chump.

I also liked starting purple side. The blog post mentioned taking golems early, I wouldn't have thought of it despite mainly jungling and knowing that most junglers don't take golems for quite some time. That extra exp and early gold so good.

Eh, it happens.

Loss 1 was our Varus being tiny and their Amumu being absolutely huge. I had to lane vs. Lee which is somewhat tough, but the lane was kinda a wash except that mumu kept getting away with blowing his ults and flashes to kill me top without my team being able to pull ahead in laning from that.
Loss 2 was Jungle Ali camping until Darius had a lead, which is just GG because Darius with a lead will 1 combo anyone. Why the fuck wouldn't you ban Ali!?!?!? Also our Volibear was a dick who ruined moral by bitching everyone out for the stupidest shit. He kept bitching at me for not snowballing Darius when Darius was standing like 1100 range away, it was absurd.
Loss 3 was me picking Nunu into Vlad, which wasn't smart when our jungle was Malphite and theirs was Nautilus. Malphite didn't bother coming vs. Vlad on my tower with his double buff and exhaust up and instead went mid and got picked off for first blood, which ultimately left us with no jungle control. Nunu vs. Vlad requires jungle control, if Vlad doesn't have to worry about ganks at all, he wins.
Loss 4 was like 27/3/14 Draven or some crazy shit like that, can't remember the last time I saw a bot lane get killed that many times. Also, jungle Ali again, how fucking hard is it to ban cow?
Loss 5 was our Cass getting shit on by Morde and just generally being terrible.

It was just a bad streak of games, I should've dodged tbh, but I don't like dodging when I'm streaming. (Britney Laces, BRANDINO and Sloth Fetish are all dodges for me when I'm not streaming)

I thought reporting someone reduced your chances of playing with them?

But yeah, Cow ruins games.

Just saw Smash on Nunu as one of the featured games go 90cs and three levels up on a Rumble toplane. Guess the matchup's a bit easier with the Rumble nerfs, or was it just his double GP/5/no-revolver-rush build?
