Do you level Consume to rank 5 immediately or do you track the enemy jungler's level and only rank Consume enough to outsmite him (with the visionary boost of course) while otherwise ranking snowball?

ChickenWrapMay 15, 20171 votes

Always max consume first. No questions asked. You need it for easy objective control and counter-jungling. That said, I don't play AP Jungle Nunu, it's not very useful.

Huh, thanks. In the past I've always been told that Consume is purely a relevant ability and you simply need to make sure it's stronger tha the enemy jungler's smite.

Nah bro. That heal is really really important and that bonus damage is the thing that allows you to steal the enemy buffs before they get to them.

Do you think jg is over powered or under powered in the current meta? How important would you rank each objective? What is your highest and your lowest elo and what was your mentality for climbing up? How many games did it take you? Whats the most important lane to gank ? when is a good time for a dive?

I think the creeps are fine, but Rift Herald needs to just be removed. It's either always way too strong or not strong enough. The fact that jungle camps give around the same gold value regardless of what you take it really nice, IMO. Krugs grants 10 CS to Gromp's 1, but Krugs grants 160 gold to Gromp's 86. Wolves grant 110 gold, but is just 3 CS, and so-on. Killing one strong monster as a single-target jungler is almost as useful as killing the whole chicken camp as an AoE jungler, y'know? This makes it so that AoE junglesr aren't too strong at clearing as opposed to single-target junglers. For what it is, I think this is fine. It's just too bad that some Junglers are forced to not be able to do certain things AoE ones can near the start, but that's to be expected. Different champions and all. I would, however, look into nerfing Ivern's jungle presence.

Baron > Inhib > Dragons > Rift Herald > Towers > Buffs

This is my highest, and my lowest was not even Bronze in Season 1. My mentality was that I needed to find champions I enjoyed that I could play better than the people around me played theirs. The champions I used were:

Shaco
old AP Tristana
Kassadin
Nunu But I knew that I'd never be able to always get what I wanted, so I had to be sure I knew a few champions to play in case of emergencies where I didn't get the role I wanted to play. I have a few videos that go over this if you're interested.

To reach Diamond this season? Only about 30. To reach Diamond 1? A lot more. I play a lot of iffy choices which make people really wary of me and there's a lot of trolls, even in Diamond.

Whichever lane is doing best.

Whenever you can tank enough tower shots. It depends, right? If they're low health, you can probably dive at level 4 with your bot lane assuming you're not really squishy. If there's 5 allies there, you're good to go, if you're level 8 with Tabi, it's different, right?

Do you think you could not do an AMA?

ChickenWrapMay 15, 20171 votes

Yeah, and that's why I haven't done one until now!

Why are you trying to get nunu nerfed?

ChickenWrapMay 15, 20171 votes

Because he is OP.

I've always been a big fan of nunu, as a previously jungle main but currently azir main. I love playing nunu though and am almost always extremely successful with him, despite my teammates and some friends saying "he sucks". I'm also low-ish elo (just don't play much ranked yet), however...

1 Do you think he requires higher elo/better teams to work well? 2 What would you say his strengths are as a jungler? 3 Do you spend most of your matches counter jungling, trying to get objectives early, or ganking, or what? 4 Is it significantly harder to counter jg in higher elo? (maybe a dumb question lol) 5 Do you try and "sneak" early solo dragons/rift, or do you consider that too risky? 6 More specifically, what do you do as Nunu during each of the phases - early, mid, and late game - if this isn't already a lot to ask ;P
