So who else thinks wit's end is awesome? I love making sions and kassadins go oom. I've started buying it on almost any bruiser or melee dps champ if the conditions are right. It's much better early game so I like to rush it after hog or wriggle's or something. Having multiple wit's ends on the same team is awesome too. A ww and jarvan who both get wit's end before ~ 20 minutes is amazing.

DUDE LEE SIN SUCKS!

that or I really don't know how to build him..
Your rune setup probably sucks :p

Get flat AD marks and quints and destroy people with Q + double E bug.

120 base damage on Q at level 1 + 2:1 AD scaling = LOL

it's funny watching people criticize hotshot's poppy build.

"why don't you rush sheen?"
"where's triforce, do you even know how to play poppy?"
"gold/5 items are terrible"
"hotshot why are you wasting gold on ie, you should get an RNG slow and +150 damage every 4th attack instead"

people think they know so much more than they actually do... :ohwell:

Why are we so crazy when we stop doing dumb **** in the jungle?

They couldn't even move without being walled/snared/stunned/knocked up. Or all 4, at the same time.

I loved when I ignored Shen trying to taunt me under bot tower by black shielding and keep attacking. I was cracking up.

I'M PLAYING LUX NEXT GAME.

Try hard success! Won all three games =)

general thoughts:
Nunu is a pretty silly jungler (I already knew this, but my god nunu + mobile team mates makes destroying their jungle soooo easy). Game 1 and 3 were both focussed on high mobility and map control, which Nunu, Zilean/Janna and Teemo excel in.
Game three was rather silly and was a slaughter, but against game 1's team comp we decided to focus heavily on early pushing, even if we neglected dragon, as to avoid Twisted Fate becoming an issue. We got an early first blood on warwick at their red with myself, teemo and nunu, I was able to get ww's blue and we secured top tower very quickly, it snowballed drastically from there.

Note to game 3 in which we had a level 1 team near their blue, we got 4 kills to their one. Malzahar voidling + getting 3 with a silence was just utterly stupid (try having a voidling freely auto attacking for about 10+ seconds at a level 1 team fight, hohoho). Game 2 was silly, they didn't ban nocturne nor shen and I first picked Nocturne, and after which they insta locked TWITCH and then second pick poppy, grabbing us shen as well. Things went awkward though in champ select trying to fix up trades/picks, so we ended up getting nidalee over Janna. Pirate strategy didn't get to come into play because Nidalee took top over pirate. Their early damage was pretty hard to handle even though we started off like 6-1 (they brought it to even and got first dragon). But some epic Nocturne ganks + lolidontdiebecauseihavewarmogs***** gave us a lot of free towers and then snowballing opportunities, they didn't ward baron and we snagged it for free while 4 of them were bot after killing one of us.

Anyway, ggs~
Hopefully moar try harding tomorrow, I'll try getting up earlier so more people can have an opportunity!

Game 2 was the one in which we made the most mistakes. We weren't warding properly for a while, and we were over extending a bit too much and doing silly things for not much apparent reason. The other two games were kinda one sided, so it was hard to discern that many mistakes.

Plus commenting on mistakes is probably something we should do with each other as we recall them after.

I think as a team we could probably work on being more aggressive in relation to baron. We would hardly (if ever) need to wait until like 30 minutes in to force baron fights and what not. Our team coordination is some areas seemed a bit off too.

Just wondering is it possible to push towers with Nunu?

I have really noticed that whenever I play, I know I my team is going to lose when no one is pushing towers. I tend to play jungle roles now a days because no one does them, and it's also good practice.

If Nunu isn't a good choice to push towers, what other jungles would be able to push? But to be honest I would really like to use Nunu LOL! He is cool.

Pretty much any Jungle except Nunu can push towers. Oh also Amumu can't very well.

Xin, Noct, Shaco, Olaf, Udyr, and Irelia all push well.

he can assist a good tower pusher with blood boil and killing creeps, though.

Do you guys play nunu??? He's great at pushing towers. He can pretty much 1 shot cannon minions... With AS runes and blood boil you own towers. After I ***** a ww at his red in ranked I went top ganked and got a 9 minuet tower. Udyr still is the best though. Tiger stance is silly.

Nunu unstoppable. He's roaming through your jungle consuming your creeps up. So hide your red buff hide your blue buff cause he's taking everything up in here.

@never
If your goal is early towers pick udyr. He can down towers with only 2 waves of minions.
^to do this you need a VERY specific rune page which is quite expensive.
9 AS marks
9 dodge yellows
9 AS blues
3 flat ad quints
Tiger stance scaling is the stupidest thing in the game.

@sleepy
Pretty much all jungles that aren't tanks or ones who don't have an ability that boosts attack speed, like to use AS runes because it makes the jungle safer and quicker. With AS runes on Nunu you can start jingling with boots, a ward, and only one health pot.
