nunu is one of the best counterjungling supports in the game with high damage potential...however, he is also an easy target

early game, he can snowball lanes and take dragon easily

late game, if you haven't done enough, your damage falls off A LOT

so hes good early but falls off a lot late game. But the question is does he fall harder then pantheon?

He has some of the highest AP ratios in the game (0.75 on Q, 1.0 on E, and up to 2.5 on R), so he can do a lot of damage, problem is he's usually not going to be in a good enough position to deal that damage unless he's tanky enough to survive a lot of damage getting into a fight, needs a mix of tank and ap. Also need to look at team comp before just blindly yolo picking him. Does your team have a way to keep enemies inside of a fight? Do you have someone who can use blood boil well? Does the enemy have an AS scaling ADC? (Nunu's E is pretty much a 6 second cd exhaust if they have an AS adc, if they're crit or AD scaling..not so much..)

very well said. yes its true his dmg is good but i usually dont build much of it because i usually need to be more tanky then the dmg that is hard to land (the ult)

no, but he always keeps a cool head and everything else

Build a sight stone, the new jungle upgrade that lets you ward, and a hunters potion come season 6. You can now starve the enemies jungle so effectively you will make them useless.

Just don't forget to help your lanes out too. If you dont get a carry on your team fed then the game will struggle as it goes late.

Great objective control, good mid line tank, good counter jungler, but not the best Ganker.

I have seen him mostly on teams with Azir, and Jinx. Because Nunu gives them massive AS steroids. (which both scale well with AS.)

The king of control junglers.

When the meta favors tanks, he is a monster.

I've picked him up very recently(yesterday), and he's pretty fun. I build him AP Tank. He's also very versatile. He can go mid, top, jungle, and support, and he's pretty good at all of them, although it depends on the matchup for mid and top, and to an extent support as well. His Q gives him great sustain, his W, which is almost always up, makes him a good roamer, and his E is a point and click spell with a 100% AP Ratio. His R can be pretty tough to use to its maximum potential, but when you do, you feel great, and it can really make the difference between winning and losing a teamfight. Give him a try.

The thing about nunu is his ult is a channel, so the only way to interrupt it is with cc, normally, you build him tank. If you use your cc on the tank, that's bad. If you don't interrupt it, it chunks your squishies. Therefor he is really good.

Nunu is also an extremely capable harass mid laner. His Q is 275+1.0AP; if you get ahead, that thing is gonna push your lane opponent OUT.

i dont play him much but the times i did i went top with roa, zhonyas, and abyssal into tank

You basically pick out someone on the enemy team and tell them: "You aren't allowed to play this game right now"

He's a good support-jungler with a focus on counter-jungling and objective control. I'd recommend building CDR aura tank, using something like the following: item 3047 or item 3111 , item 1413 or item 1409 , item 2049 , item 3110 , item 3190
