Citric says “This matchup is somewhat annoying because Nunu can camp a lane 24/7. Try to track his movement and ping for your teammates when he is around. If he doesn't get good ganks off, you will outscale him and win the game. Try to use your ultimate to disrupt his ultimate.”
Ir.Defender says “He can take objectives and do secure ganks. you can 1v1 him early while becoming harder to kill as game goes on, counter ganking work but don't forget to keep Q to knock his R.”
NixLychee says “Disgusting objective control and farming, you will never get objectives if you're even or ahead, because his q can outsmite you at early levels. You can 1v1 him early if he isn't building AP. I anticipate him being overpowered after the Smite rework on patch 11.10, so I'm preparing my ban”
Insightful says “2 tanks in the jungle, but nunu has the slight advantage due to his ability to have very strong ganks, if he fails them however you should be fine”
Kocykek says “He's gonna gank every lane every few seconds while one shotting camps. It's the way I see it. You can focus and shred him with Damage Build tho.”
Goldenstinger says “A good nunu can run away with the game early. I usually drop my control ward in the pixel bush bot lane to avoid any lvl 2 shenanigans. You will need to ask your laners to ward his jg camps pre spawn too. If he gets ahead early its hard to come back. ”
FREAKSTAR says “If they are good they will put a TON of pressure on the map while you are stuck farming. You need to be extremely efficient on getting to lvl 6 ASAP, because a good Nunu will make sure your team is ready to FF by the time you hit your powerspikes. Late game if you get ahead you can shred him, but if you're behind he will eat your E damage and walk it off like nothing.
DO NOT TEAM FIGHT HIM IN PHYSICAL RANGE, you will get perma CC'd and die. Make sure you kite around the chaos of the fight and keep a safe distance.”
Insightful says “nunu relies a lot on ganking to be useful and his biggest ganking tool can easily be denied by your black shield so there's not a lot he can do after that”
sonminh says “If you can burst him fast enough early game, do it. If not, he can phase rush out. Save your box for his ult later in the game. Don't 1v1 him if he lands snowball on you, 2v2 is not that bad. Don't coinflip drag.”
Karasmai says “This champ is very tanky with a lot of early game dmg, he has insane ganks + objective control so you will need vision on the map the entire game so keep trinket and keep dragon control warded, once you get 3-4 items on Rhaast you will be able to murder him easy. Make sure you get executioner and if you do go shadow assassin never try to one shot him unless insanely ahead
”
Pusi Puu says “Annoying to play against, since its just NUNU. Fight him early game and dont jump onto him when his ult is up. Try to countergank as much as possible since you are way stronger in skirmishes.”
IMissedMyQ says “He has early pressure, he's fast, he's tanky, and he can duel you. The best way to beat him is to counter gank his ganks. Track him in the jungle and predict where he will strike. Make sure you are there to counter.”
Arfreezy says “Nunu has a lot of gank pressure on your lanes but will struggle to match Graves tempo. Punish his ganks with counter jungling and try to bully him off neutral scuttles if lane priorities allow it. With Ignite and phase rush you have kill pressure early if he tries to contest you. In later fights, save your ulti as a second dash to escape his ultimate range.”
Doubtfull says “Nunu is extremely difficult for rek'sai to 1 shot with her combo, and scales much, much better. This match up is very difficult. You probably won't get very far by trying to punish the Nunu directly, so focus on getting your lanes ahead.”
Doubtfull says “This match up can be tricky. Phase rush Nunu can stick on top of you and lock you down with his kit. After runic echoes though, you can apply a decent amount of pressure to the Nunu if you land an outer edge Q, and it can be difficult for him to escape you. ”
ak521 says “Crazy healing, decent mobility, lots of cc. Low armor/mr but good health so you'll melt him if you need to with W. Just run when he ults. Or you can interrupt it with your Q”
PulseBeat_02 says “If he tries to snowball or ultimate you, use your Black Shield. In fact, you likely can just root him before the snowball even impacts. Always counter-gank here, because you will and you should always survive and you have a large advantage over him. He may be harder to kill however if he builds tank, but if you build Liandry's the item passive allows you to kill him faster. ”
RedNBlue says “Nunu is like a butter stick early game with you as Trundle the hot knife. He is just so squishy and easy to kill in his jungle. The reason why I put him at even is due to his ability to tank late game and that makes duels a lot harder as duels become team fights as you have a wet noodle fight with him.”
Kayn Mains says “「EARLY GAME DUELING」You can win if you have conq. He will likely just spam ganks to snowball his laners. Path into his jg to punish him.
「MID GAME DUELING」You win with warrior to his cinderhulk.
「LATE GAME DUELING」Free hp reset as red, engage liberally and force fights after cleaver.”
nZk01 says “nunu is literally just flipping a coin, if he has phase rush and ganks early game is over, if he doesnt have phase rush you can kill him quite easily pre 6 and dodge his stun from E or ult dmg with your ult, only good thing this champ does is that he has good objective control, like doing drake pre first back.
Just pray ur laners are human.”
Rhoku says “Nunu stands no chance against you in a fight ever. But he is such a powerful jungler that he can very easily outdo you and get to a point where he is soo tanky that it takes 5 years to kill him. He has more mobility, you CANNOT secure objectives as long as he is alive and he is a tank with hard engage and cc which means his team can afford to just go full damage. But overall, he stands no chance against you if you fight him on equal terms.”
Doubtfull says “A good Nunu will invade you early and make your life miserable. I'd suggest getting a leash in this match up and warding for the invade. Post 6 the match up isn't too bad, but you have to beware him snowballing onto you. Also consider saving your E to cancel his Ult.”
BullwhipGriffin says “Same as above with Hecarim, Warwick beats Nunu in the jungle in every way possible, Warwick can move around the map just as quickly as Nunu which is Nunu's only strength, work on ganking faster than he does or counter ganking because you should always win 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3 against a Nunu. Phase rush Nunu is much easier to defeat than Aftershock Nunu due to the fact he is much squishier. Save fear or Ultimate to cancel Nunu's Snowball or his Ultimate”
Doubtfull says “This match up can be a little bit annoying as Nunu can Q + Smite your Daisy and pretty much instantly kill her, making your team fighting much worse. However with your shields and roots you can look him down pretty easy after his phase rush is down and protect your carries. You can also use Daisy to block his snowballs (W). ”
RichMrFork says “Perma gank and objective control. Those are the main things to worry about against Nunu. Placing deep wards in his jungle is extremely helpful. Ask your laners to ward deeper than they usually do (if at all xd) because a Nunu at river brush with a full charged snowball likely means that laner is already dead. DO NOT 50/50 OBJECTIVES! It's more of a 70/30 against Nunu because his Smite+Q is very reliable for doing 1.5K+ damage to objectives. Especially after he gets his 900 damage smite. ”
PK Noob says “Clears faster, healthier, and ganks faster than you. Try to only focus on one lane that will snowball hard as focusing on all the lanes will result in him finding you and making you useless.”
Gamyeon says “Kindred usually loses to skirmishing tanks early but invading Nunu level 3 is easy, so just cheese invade and do as much damage as possible to him early. In a skirmish, focus whoever will die first, even if you die for it. Nunu can't scale as much as you so the gold goes in your favor.”
Penguto says “He has better ganks than you and you can block all of his CC, but you should be able to 1v1 him if you invade his jungle but he usually has better fights than you.”
EUWRATS says “One of the most annoying and hardest matchups due to having so many hard slows and being able to catch up with you with phase rush. Able to steal objectives from you easily, try to avoid him and ping his ganks in advance because he will be able to out gank you easily. Take phase rush into this match up to escape his ult.”
Aqua Dragon says “Fighting other objective controllers can quickly become a bloody affair. Nunu and Malzahar play a huge tug of war, racing to see who can kill the heralds and dragons first. Constant vision is needed on objectives to stop Nunu from sneaking them by, and in turn, Nunu will keep a hawk's eye on Malzahar.”
HVfun says “This is kind of a sleeper Voli counter. He can spam more ganks than you can early, his CC and sustain are kind of better than yours in team fights, and he can counter your engages pretty damn well. Definitely consider banning if he gives you problems.”
LukaBre123 says “Nunu is even with you because he is weaker than you but has mobility if he goes for phase rush. He can easily cancel your Q with his W.”
Strike1 says “What I said for zac carries over here too. Nunu doesn't really have all that much pressure on a kindred. You win duels, if he ever fails his engage you can chase him down forever.
You outscale him and he doesn't really beat you early.
However, nunu AP can pose a threat.
Nunu ambush with his ultimate can catch you offguard. More often than not you outscale.
”
metalhydra273 says “Nunu is a huge meatball on the front line, but you can take advantage of this if you can get him killed. He's rather difficult to keep track of and can secure objectives easy, so work with your team to locate him and stop him from helping his team with his roaming power by warding rivers. His cc can be hard to deal with but the same goes both ways. Stop his ult with your e if possible.”
LilPaniniUwU says “Disgusting objective control and farming, you will never get objectives if you're even or ahead, because his q can outsmite you at early levels. You can 1v1 him early if he isn't building AP. I anticipate him being overpowered after the Smite rework on patch 11.10, so I'm preparing my ban
”
Kindredgarten says “More worried for my team when I see him get picked than myself. He ganks so much and has super good objective control so keep it in mind. You can invade him early and he can't do much, his weak spot is duels. Ward rivers for your laners. Out scale.”
LilPaniniUwU says “「EARLY GAME DUELING」You can win if you have conq. He will likely just spam ganks to snowball his laners. Path into his jg to punish him. 「MID GAME DUELING」You win with warrior to his cinderhulk. 「LATE GAME DUELING」Free hp reset as red, engage liberally and force fights after cleaver.
”
Tormentula says “Nunu & Willump are one of Elise's worst matchups that I either ban or dodge. Nunu has very cheesy early gank potential with his W, and he has much better utility in late game fights being a tank with CC. The biggest problem is once he gets Magic Resist its over, as Elise cannot kill him fast enough and he'll heal most of your damage off with Q before you can DPS him. The best counterplay to Nunu is to try and get your ADC ahead, or if you have a strong AD top laner, them ahead as well, if you play to get yourself ahead you will just lose even if Nunu makes several mistakes early. ”
Caled says “Say goodbye to any Scuttle Crabs and Dragons in the early game. Although Nunu is very good when it comes to taking early objectives, Kayn can actually win some early duels as long as you can stack your conqueror in these trades. Going Rhaast, Kayn can easily duel Nunu in the mid/late game but will have difficulties doing so as Shadow Assassin. As Nunu will have strong sustain in mid-late game with a low cooldown on Consume (Q), look to build Executioner’s Culling against him. ”
liserith says “Nunu and Willump cannot duel you at any point in the game. Nor do they need to. Their specialty ganking, so they will have you running around the map, enduring question pings from your teammates to desperately countergank. He is very easily kitable, and make sure you have Q available so you don't have to flash his ult. ”
Veralion says “Nunu gets points for how quickly he can eat dragons and any buffs that you leave unattended for too long. Your objective rotations have to be on point; don't be late. Aside from that, his early presence dwarfs yours, but he should be going after lanes, not you. Just ignore him and outscale. Don't fight him at all before 6, he can easily control you. Target him last in skirmishes. If he gets a good angle on you with his snowball, it may be wise to turn on your W and deftly juke to his side. He has the turning radius of an 18-wheeler and can only reliably inititate in a straight line. Flash or interrupt his ult with yours; I don't need to tell you how hard a fully channeled Nunu ult hits. ”
Gumipapucs says “You pretty much win this, you can really murder his face in early. Later aswell, if he doesn't get too tanky and you are at least even. He can't touch you, only if its a surprise, but even then, he cannot 1v1 you. Try to deny his early spamganking and turn them to your favor and try to invade him & prevent his scaling. If you meet him, he will run. If not, he will die, or he has help on the way. Also your ult totally messes up his ult.”
poopyOCE says “Due to Nunu's fast and safe clear, he can early invade bringing him an early lead that you will find difficult to come back from. He can also use W to cancel your R negating your main sustain and engage. He can build armour early to win most duels against you, and the amount of CC can negate your blood hunt. I normally insta-ban this matchup as this is the equivalent of punching a brick wall. IF HE DOES NOT INVADE OR BULLY, you will outscale him, so play for the long game.”
KeyTheMonolith says “Nunu is a hard counter to kayn seeming as he has better early game prior and better ganks and better cc even when going red kayn and good enough peel to protect teamates from blue kayn”
chevy the sloot says “Big update here after his recent nerfs. He lost 30 health and 5 ms meaning his ganks are weaker and you can hard contest him early. Ask your team to respect his early gank power or track him and counter him. You farm so much faster than him. Early oblivion orb and red smite is nice here too.”
c0st0m says “another tank for lillia to demolish, nunu is slightly more annoying cause of his phase rush and e slow but other than that another easy tank to beat”
Shroomen Rider says “Nunu will outfarm you and you can't really duel him. He is unlikely to outright kill you, though.
You might win ganks with your range and you can shred him late game. ”
Medieval_Ducky25 says “Nunu & Willump's incredible sustain and mobility can easily dominate Gragas if the player is not careful. Try to catch them off guard and watch your positioning.”
Do1HaveTh3Sauce says “Builds tank mostly, and you can melt him with On-Hit Neeko easily. Avoid fighting him until you've built Nashor's Tooth and Kraken Slayer, unless it is necessary.”
AyeJa3 says “Nunu gets points for how quickly he can eat dragons and any buffs that you leave unattended for too long. Your objective rotations have to be on point; don't be late. Aside from that, his early presence dwarfs yours, but he should be going after lanes, not you. Just ignore him and outscale.”
PsiGuard says “You can't block all his CC with spell shield and he can slow your attack speed. He's hard to kill 1v1, has good ganks, and team fights better than you. Your best bet is to get picks when he's absent. You can use your W to tank the snowball for your squishier teammates if he's engaging.”
Bel37 says “High Base damage and slippery. He is a spam ganker with his snowball so you'll never be able to match his ganks. Just take his farm to try and punish him.”
lolX9J says “One of the easier matchups to play against.
You will always win the 1v1 against him.
Try ulting before he Ults so you can attack him with clone his entire ult.
After his ult ends the clone is dead which will fear him after aswell.
If not try to dodge his ult damage with Ult.”
OmegaDelta000 says “CC + Tanky. If you're going Bruiser you should be fine, but if you're going Burst buy Morello and Void Staff. Also, try to stay away from him.”
Tofolo says “Dannazione se i tank danno fastidio a Yi, i Tank con rallentamenti e rubavita anche di più. In compenso è abbastanza facile per uno Yi uscire dalla R di Nunu e contrattaccare. Non pensate però di vincere facile 1vs1 se non siete un minimo feedati. In compenso in late game siete più spesso devastanti.”
sonminh says “If you can burst him fast enough early game, do it. If not, he can phase rush out. Save your box for his ult later in the game. Don't 1v1 him if he lands snowball on you, 2v2 is not that bad. Don't coinflip drag.”
Wolf Rengar says “Recommended: Conqueror Rune Page/Build.
Tips: Bait his W with your ult before jumping , fight him only near bushes.
Nunu is really annoying to play agasint because his whole kit counters Rengar.”
DarkAuraLOL says “easy , he can't stop you from invading him and stealing his camps, cheese his raptors, try to smite his red then , go for invades and fights, he's really weak early, he usually has q on cd, so don't be afraid of him securing camps, also try to spot him and ping your team to avoid his strong gank potential, counter gank him, get form and you'll 1v9 while he won't even be tanky enough”
G Spot God says “One of skarner's best attributes is his mobility. Nunu is one of the only champions in the game who can rival skarner's mobility especially with the common phase rush build run by many nowadays. He also provides a ton of cc and is very hard to kill. Nunu is underrated in my opinion so care because although he may not be able to kill you, he can thwart many of your plans such as ganks and dragons.”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Nunu & Willump aren't a real threat to you since they don't have a large amount of damage early on. The most important thing in this match-up is to keep vision on objectives as Nunu & Willump are pretty good at taking them. ”
EvoNinja7 says “He's a tank. So you just need to dodge his snowball if he has one charged up. Be careful when he has level 6 and have your W ready to cancel it out. Once you get Kraken slayer you can beat him in a 1v1.”
MetaSolaray says “If you want scaling damage, Black cleaver and Conqueror into Nunu. The safe option is Aftershock with unflinching to ignore his slows. Dodge his snowball will make it much harder for him to proc aftershock, making him very vulnerable to burst damage.”
DarkAuraLOL says “easy , he can't stop you from invading him and stealing his camps, cheese his raptors, try to smite his red then , go for invades and fights, he's really weak early, he usually has q on cd, so don't be afraid of him securing camps, also try to spot him and ping your team to avoid his strong gank potential, counter gank him, get form and you'll 1v9 while he won't even be tanky enough”
C7 Lord Pingu says “Kind of similar to Elise just that usually Nunu can't kill you in the 1v1 unless you have fallen behind. He can hyper gank and totally ruin the game for you before you even get a chance to play and most of the time he's going to be too tanky to merit killing (unless you are ahead). Vs him you will basically always want Kraken.”
RedNBlue says “He will stop your w with his snowball, he will stop your movement with his e root and he will take a chunk of your deer meat from you thigh right out of you with his Q.”
J03B0B says “He will pressure your lanes NON STOP.
Be sure to punish this as much as possible with counter ganks or counter jungling.
You're almost guaranteed to be behind early but your team fighting should be stronger in the mid game, so try to get there without conceding too much in laning phase.
When fighting around objectives never take smite fights :) ”
Simon The Shaco Main says “This is a macro battle. He has better ganks, objective control, duelling, clear etc. You gotta try and outdo him on all those fronts.”
Schadenfreude says “While his CC might be annoying, unless his team is there to back him up, you shouldn't have too much of a problem dealing with him. Make sure to take objectives whenever he is dead or on another part of the map because if you two have a smiting match, 95% of the time, you're going to lose, so stay on your toes, counter gank as much and possible and try to disengage his snowball whenever possible. ”
Karthus man says “Nunu and Willumps engage is extremely annoying. He becomes unable to slow with your wall when he has his snowball. He also does ridiculous amounts of damage while building tank and healing a lot. I suggest just dodging or banning him or you will have a very boring 15 minutes,”
SubwayCheese says “Honestly a great matchup for you, the only problem is that his is kind of tanky and the perma CC is annoying. But just R on his R and you win.”
Rusitc1 says “Same issues as Hecarim, except this time he out heals you on red Kayn and is invincible for Blue Kayn. Only thing keeping this guy from being the hardest matchup is your ult counters his. Hide inside when he ults.”
Maile says “SUPER ANNOYING CHAMP. Clears super healthily and can eventually outscale you because he takes 0 damage. You HAVE to get ahead early if you want to win. You need to bring someone to kill him because he will run at 290348 MS because of Phase Rush. ”
CalicoCactus says “I ban Nunu every single game, their kit just beats all tanks and really everyone, better ganks, better ping pong objective control better clears, Nunu is like the perfect tank, use your bramble to stop their healing and save CC to stop their ult channel.”
KevinThyAsian says “Shut him down early, play agro as he simply has more map dominance. This matchup isn’t hard for you, but is hard for your laners. His team will snowball off nunu’s ganks very often and his team fighting reliability is stonk.”
SketchtheHunter says “Tanks are pretty scary right now but Nunu's probably one of the least scary. He struggles to fight you at all stages of the game and the only really annoying parts of his kit are his Q and Ult. If you wanna R him, just wait till he's already low so you don't wind up getting stalled out by his ult's shield. Also, Grievous Wounds. ”
impretty says “Any tanks are a big threat for this specific build, but Nunu more than anybody. His strength in the jungle right now plus his ability to survive your burst is a threat to be wary of,”
Andygumy says “You can dodge his Ult or reduce it's damage with your W. If he tries to run away you can cancel his big snowball by using your Q on him.”
Embracing says “You'll never be able to kill him and jumping in will guarantee you get cc'd. He has much better objective control and wins skirmish with his w, If W is baited out you can win fights. Otherwise play away from him - he can't really bully you unless you int into him.”
Minase says “A good nunu can make your life hell. He can very easily invade you and can safely get out due to his movement speed and tankiness and you don't really outscale him. You can beat him, but just know your life is going to be really annoying, just make plays on the other side of the map.”
VirulentCabbage says “Super tanky and will outlive till the team arrives or just roll away on a ball. Can outsmite with her Q, two smites on one champ is just stupid and 90% of the time you will lose if you fight at objectives.”
BoyWonder00 says “Very good champion. Lots of CC, he has healing with his Q, and his R counters yours. He will be ganking a lot throughout the game, so try to set up vision to help your laners.”
FalleN3 says “This is just a pain in the ass. After a few levels you should have no problems 1v1 with him, but don't underestimate him either as he can still pack a punch and stick to you with his (E). He will likely try hard to control the map objectives so be sure to ward early and try to keep control of them yourself.”
Holessando says “Nunu can do a lot with his abilities, but he can't withstand your damage. He is good in all phases of the game and synergies with his teammates, so be careful about his ULT when teamfighting around drake, baron or all kind of teamfights.”
metalhydra273 says “An annoying front liner who can threaten objective very well with priority. Win the objective game and open a hole by ulting him if you have to.”
DemacianStandard says “Incredibly invasive and has constant map pressure if given the opportunity. His ult directly counters your own and you will struggle to fight him because of his Q healing. Try to save your E+Q for his ult channel, as it will disable him from using it.”
AKScorched says “He's also pretty tanky for your W, also has a lot of CC but the difference is he has a ton of dmg. You better run when you see him because once he gets your hands on you with his teammates, you're gonna have a bad time.”
brSL7 says “Contra Nunu é tranquilo, se ele buildar Tank ou AP não vai mudar muita coisa. Mas como ele é um champ de gank ele poderá acabar com o jogo cedo, então a partir do Mid game tente dar diversos caunters ganks, e no x1 de igual para igual você consegue matar o Nunu.”
Reason97 says “If Nunu gets in your face, it'll be an issue, but he never should be. He's super easy to block off with your wall, so you should never have any issues with him unless you make a major mistake. ”
gurubashi35 says “Pretty much you, just harder to kill and more crowd control. In a duel, you always win, hands down.
However, his utility in a teamfight can be troublesome, so try to catch him when he mispositions or when separated from the rest of his team.
His double smite makes it easy for him to steal and secure objectives, so avoid going for neutral objectives if you don't know where he is.”
ChaoticClockwork says “He outclears you, and his objective control is much better than yours. His CC and tankiness makes him hard to invade. You will need help from laners to keep him out of the game.”
CinderTheSnake says “This champ is premised on CC. his snowball burst slows you. his giant snowball knocks you up and his ult is a CC nuke. because of his speed he has great counter ganks as well. ”
chasemyman1 says “He has too much sustain and health. He can also run you down with his E which slows and stuns you. His Q also helps him get objectives so you cant drake or herald when he is around your area. ”
reganakers says “Nunu is just one of those champions that will spam gank and have your laners spamming Jungle diff. In a 1v1 you will not have a problem fighting him but he can travel the map much faster than you.”
McSushi says “DO NOT FIGHT him on early crabs, since the chances of you getting the smtie in time vs his q smite is so low. just go opposite crab and start talisman, to be able to clear all AOE camps quicker. take exhaust, not only because of his ult, but also to chase.”
PsiGuard says “You don't have a way to safely interrupt his snowball and he's usually too tanky for you to easily kill. You can still win the game if you out-gank him early, but he scales into a strong team fighter, so don't slack on pressure and make sure your teammates can carry you later once he gets tanky.”
PsiGuard says “Unkillable tank who can heavily hamper your XP and gold progression by stealing your camps early and snowball his team through ganks and neutral objectives. However, he has no hard CC to stop you from killing his teammates. Use defensive wards to scout his invades and steal his camps while he takes yours. Beware of counterganks post-6, since his R makes it difficult to ignore him in 2v2s.”
chiefdonut says “He has a similar ganking stlye as you, but he is much better at taking dragons with his q. Make sure to always have vision on drag. Your w can stop him from running with snowball, but the ball still rolls forward.”
FrickLillie says “Scary if you're trying to run because of his E and W. However it becomes difficult to collect and objectives unless he's dead due to his Q smite combo.”
reganakers says “Rek'Sai deals a tonne of true damage which is great against tanks like Nunu. Nunu also is no threat in a 1v1 sitation and a well times Rek'Sai R will get you out of her ultimate.”
Dopamine_influx says “He perma ganks which is annoying, but never wins 1v1. You can either look to countergank if your jungle tracking is on point, or just contest scuttles and his jg, and be ahead, and then ignore him and make your own plays around herald and plates. ”
Xeldom says “Even match-up. Nunu is VERY weak early game. Make sure to mirror his path and force skirmishes. Nunu will prioritize dragon's early game. Make sure to either take it when his bot lane recalls/is shoved in OR shut down their mid / bot early game so you can win the dragon fight.”
AWierdShoe says “Nunu can be very hard to deal with, as his W is very hard to kite and his AP damage is rather large for a tank jungler. It's hard to win 1v1s early due to his Q healing, so you need to rush Executioner's Calling in order to duel him. Try to play around walls and corners to dodge his W. You can also move out of his R with your E, but don't use it too early as the radius is very large and it will still slow you if you don't escape in time.”
DarkArbalist613 says “Nunu's cc can be a big problem for Kindred, but if you manage to catch nunu off guard its an easy kill. If you get caught by his Snowball he can lock you down kill you.”
Comrade Eshgrim says “He is tanky but not unkillable, you can counter or avoid most of his abilities. Invade him vigorously, but be careful if he builds AP, he can dish out some surprising damage later on.”
Sheepchu says “His jungling phase is better then yours. He will probably gank at level 3, and will have a strong map presence. Contesting objectives will be so difficult.”
Hide on Nidalee says “Still winnable with his buffs and phase rush, but is more dificult to kite and kill him. If u're good with Nida you will not have problems”
PrabhablyShaco says “Hard matchup, Nunu is too tanky to beat in a 1v1, and his kit allows him to do quite a bit of damage and a whole lot of CC even if he's building full tank. ”
SapphireLoL says “Nunu and Willump is the ideal enemy jungler as their turn rate is minimal with Biggest Snowball Ever, which can be avoided by being fast or Tunnel. You can also Dash/ Tunnel out of Absolute Zero.”
Ionia King says “If you side step a little bit when she's coming at you with a snowball, you can hold Q and swing around her without getting hit. Nunu isn't to be taken lightly early however. Beware of counter ganks.”
TrevorJayce says “Nunu is more of a gank heavy objective based champion than anything else. They'll never look to 1v1 you, but they'll always look to countergank or solo a drake. Always have rift or drag warded and spam ping when you have the slightest suspicion they might be at either.”
lheisse says “Telegraphed cc and a big target, nunu is an easy matchup. You will likely have a hard time killing him due to his tanky nature, but once you get liandry's it should become easier”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Nunu & Willump aren't a real threat to you since they don't have a large amount of damage early on. The most important thing in this match-up is to keep vision on objectives as Nunu & Willump are pretty good at taking them. ”
Soulreaperjin says “Since you as Shyvana lacks CC, Nunu can counter you very easily with his W and E CC, then proceed to heal from you with his Q, also base damage on his abilities is really strong.
Also he has more HP than you which means it really takes a long time to kill him while in that time he can just easily escape.”
BlindKidNoThumbs says “The other hard counter for Warwick is Nunu it isn't as bad as Olaf and is still winnable he is one of the only champs that has better drake and rift pressure. He outganks you and outscales you try and invade him and set him behind.”
Split King says “Tanky magic damage dealer that excels at controlling the early game.
I do not have too much trouble against this guy but Rammus generally has a low winrate against him ”
urrb says “The only Nunus that I lose against are nunus that spam gank early where i can't countergank. His snowball makes it hard to show up in time to respond to a gank. Try to track him and expect him to gank early. Hit Level 3 as quickly as possible, deep ward, and hover near your lanes for a few seconds before going to farm if you feel they may be ganked. He's also vulnerable to early invades since he needs to scale and get his items to be tanky, much like Rammus or Sejuani. ”
Luthy2278 says “You can dodge his Ult and snowball with your Q and if he catches you in his ult, you can reduce the damage taken using W. Bad pick against Yi.”
DonaldBinBaggin says “Can outgank/outduel you at all stages of the game. Look to outfarm him as he will be looking to gank lanes/take drakes most of the game.”
Simphoria says “Honestly, he's just annoying. He can clear fast and health, counter jungle well, gank often, has a bunch of slows, do drags very fast and early. He's basically a better version of us early game which makes it difficult to play around. We do out scale him but my advice is to not leave your buffs alive for very long, ward dragons early and try to be proactive with your ganks.”
HackedAccountlol says “TOO MUCH DAMAGE, TOO MUCH CC, TOO MUCH SUSTAIN, TOO MUCH OBJECTIVE CONTROL, TOO MUCH UNAVOIDABLE SPELLS, TOO MUCH TANKY, FUCK YOU! BAN THIS MOTHERFUCKER!
”
BigBadVoodo says “With the Nunu rework, he got a lot more annoying than before. He can still do good amounts of pressure with his Q, only now he has even more CC which makes him harder to kill. We need to keep track of him at all times.”
xTheUnlimited says “Poor Nunu. His ganks are not even close to Sejuani's ganks. Although he isn't really a good tank, has a low mobillity and deals absoloutly no damage. You can bully him since this matchup wont be a problem for you.”
Ivker21 says “Early game you have more damage but no way to stick to him, and he'll sustain himself. Only counter jungle him if you have lane priority and/or know he isn't there.
Nunu is great at ganking and especially at counter ganking, so early be careful, don't overextend a gank.
He clears really fast and later will kill you in a 1v1, he also takes objectives REALLY fast, so be careful.
In team fights save your Q to end his Ult before he channels it, it's the only real way to keep your team alive.
If you Q him while his snowball is up it will knock you up and you won't land on him, keep that in mind.”
