Can someone give me some Nunu advice.

Builds, Masteries, Runes please.
9/0/21 or 0/21/9
Coth armor + pots -> HoG -> HoG(second one) -> merc -> banshee
Can take merc before second HoG
Attack speed marks, flat armor seals, flat mr glyphs, hp quints
Either start at double golems or blue buff
You can gank early with nunu you do not need red buff or to finish the jungle first, if you have E you can gank fine.
Start with Q then W/E -> Q, then your choice of either choosing to level W or E. You only need two levels of Q to jungle well.

Play a character who isn't hard countered by CC, i.e. every viable character?

Nah, kidding.

EDIT: Just do Jpaks build, he has higher level experience than I do.
I think, Nunu is one of the best junglers. In fact I think the top 3 before the most recent patch were rammus nunu olaf.

attack speed marks to make your jungle faster mpen won't help you since creeps have 0 mr. you cannot penetrate into the negatives.

Uh... max out Overdrive and Power Fist over grab, make sure to keep your ults passive up as long as possible during teamfights for more overall damage (definitely pop it if you need to interrupt a channel or someone is going to run away, though). Build him tanky (though you can grab a tear to open if you want), grab CV on him if no one else has it. 9-0-21 or 0-9-21 both work.

Roaming is also really strong with him because his mana shield gives him some extra survivability even if he's a little underleveled and he can still provide his utility w/o levels.

He's pretty intense to play well though.

R before they land from your E. You can use flash to intiate with some grabs to give some interesting setups. Powerfist -> walk away/flash -> grab is a good use. go 0/9/21, youtube doublelift im sure he has many videos so you can see what to do in teamfights and how he gets kills

Why not 9/0/21? MR/Armor and some Hp/S is neat, but Blitz is ver CD dependant and it seems like the additional cdr would be really handy for him.

I don't like jpak's so here's mine.

1/8/21 (can be changed, I just really like 6 in def)
cloth + pots -> hog + boots -> FoN/Omen/Veil/GA (You'll end up with all 4, use common sense)
Merc's obviously

QEQEWR, smite + teleport

Flash is meh on Nunu, ghost is vastly inferiour to port. CV + smite is pretty good (you can gank the other jungler super easy)

His level 4 gank is incredible (double buff and level 2 E) but you can get W at level 2/3 if you want to gank earlier. Otherwise you just super-tank and consume for EHP over 1k. Learning how to dance in team fights and consume creeps/turrets/voidlings is very important.


Alternatively, you can do my troll nunu build:

9/0/21
Will of the Ancients
Hourglass
Sceptre
CDR boots
w/e else


Now that we actually have ap + armour and ap + mres items, ap/tank builds can be opened up a bit. This build is a lot more dangerous with Nunu because you can get below 500 health very easily (compared to 230/220 armour/mres 4k health Nunu) but your consume heals for over 1.2k, which is always lulzy.


Also, never make Rages on Nunu. Ever.

Some guy just told me junglers were ******** if they took Smite, and then proceeded to pick WW and claim the jungle.

Oh god.

I'd be down.

EDIT: Ended up winning despite WW having blue smitestolen by Udyr twice. Set up a lot of kills for him with Mao's W, he ended up absurdly fed.

omg yes. gotta get home first, i'll add you when i get on

But in even more important news:
Coronach said:
Most tournament games lately have featured Janna, Zilean, Soraka in either the line-ups or the bans. I'll readily admit these characters don't necessarily feel as strong in ranked solo-queue, but they can still make for excellent picks.

We do feel Sona and Karma might be on the weaker side right now. Karma should have some number buffs in the outgoing patch, while we're currently testing Sona adjustments.
OMG CONFIRMED KARMA BUFFS YES
I might finally be able to play one of my top 3 favorite characters again :D

Nunu stuff
More Nunu stuff
Could be good to note that Nunu can start with almost anything. I find that as long as I have at least two pots I can get through with 3/4 or so health to gank and both buffs. Sometimes if I'm really worried I go cloth, pots and a ward and I find that I still never get too low to the point where I should be worried.

what do u guys think about laning shaco? i mean obviously he is a good ganker if he was jungling. but what about laning shaco? and how would u build him?
In my experience seeing others do it:

Suffers from mana issues
Can't farm due to being easily harassed and squishy
Much harder to snowball early into midgame, which is necessary

lane shaco isn't half bad....

He's like a lot of melee dps against ranged carries...
he absolutely annihilates most of them 1 on 1.

He has a hard time against mages.
But he's good at zoning solo top lane and with a ranged carry or support being able to really shut down/dominate a duo lane (he's good with taric/soraka)

Sorry, I don't think I'm used to playing in games where everyone on both teams is competent :( I'm also quite bad at melee DPS in general, never has been my strong suit...far outside of my comfort zone you could say

They are! I'm just like... playing, doing my own thing, then BAM, I have buffs.

Also, Taric running in circles is the strongest bait in game.

he is terrible for a melee dps laning 1 v 1, the others all have the tankiness and burst needed to out lane range champs

shaco is way to squishy and doesn't have enough burst so you can just pound him with auto attacks every time he tries to last hit
