EDIT: still gotta ask jpak. why did you keep asking if we were in queue/who was being picked/etc. Did you think you were queue'd up against us?
No just wondering if you were playing against anyone I knew. I won't be able to queue against your team unless im in a 15+ min queue.

I remember some GF's or WF's where one team got Old Vlad + Nunu and ***** so hard that next game Nunu was banned. He's not a priority pick or ban, but he's pretty solid overall. If only he had an attacking spell to use while Ice Ball was on CD. Even if it was just Consume doing 1/3rd damage to champs or something. He's also different than most common junglers for being AP focused instead of AD/AS.

@dmg yea we had in house last night, I play nunu and they first banned him against me. I want to know their rationale for doing so. They had a shaco so they might have wanted us to not have a strong early game.

Well what was their team lineup? If they were fragile laners or people without a buttload of escapes, getting ice ball ganked is practically a guaranteed death sentence.

Ezreal mid so wasn't fragile carries, most likely they just either didn't want me jungling or wanted shaco to win the jungle

@Fro why the nunu ban????

Eh, that's not too bad. Still, I'd be worried about more **** than Nunu at that point.

Nunu is one of the best heroes in the game. I don't really know how someone could just dismiss him as "Being okay, not great."

I main nunu. He's great. I just was wondering why he got first ban. Maybe because he countered their strategy, I'll get on vent and ask soon.

i never really got the hang of nunu. if you build him ap, then you've got an ok nuke/slow and an amazing ult that doesn't work 4/5 times against a good team. if you build him tanky, you've got no initiation and no reason for the enemy team to even acknowledge your existence.

he is a really good ganker though...

Nunu requires a team who can take advantage of his ice ball. Otherwise he's extremely mediocre.

i just checked and it's a 1.0 nuke that slows 60% for 4 seconds on a 6 second cd. maybe you're right. lol
Its the most underated skill in the game, not even a skill shot.

Nunu is ********.

one of the only times ive ever played with you, there was a really good nunu on the other team and i was complaining about nunu in skype. Remember rag laughing about it? or maybe it was fiz either way

It does SO much damage.

-.- you don't even play nunu. I have never lost a game in ranked as nunu. Ask my ranked team; when I play nunu the enemy jungle is useless 90% of the time we fb their jungle. Nunu is amazing, you just have to have experience jungling to play him well. Perma-slow op.

All I wanted to know was why he got first ban in the in house.

Nunu is awesome. I <3 playing him so much. He's considered strong because he jungles at high health and can invade/gank after his run through the jungle easily. With a speed boost/slow combo he can support his carry and stop theirs from running away. It works out pretty nicely. It's unfortunate that his ult is so easy to disrupt, but if you build him bulky anyways then eating some CC in a team fight is good for the rest of the team. If their team doesn't have any left over for you, then you blow them all up too. Sadly he tapers off late-game, but early-mid game he's a monster.

It's more a question of what you define "great" and "okay" as. Nunu's not bad overall, but he's not an instant helpful universal pick for a team to consider compared to top junglers/carries/tanks/support/etc. You can throw Zilean/Janna/Corki/Taric/etc on most teams and have no problems, while Nunu requires a bit more consideration.

His ultimate is awful and he has no sustained damage output.
His ult is not awful (I mean it's not the most useful thing in the world either), but hard to setup. Most of the time, you have to spend an additional slot on an AoE CC strong enough to keep 2-3 opponents trapped for most of the Ult duration, which usually means if you don't land that combo well that you're gonna get ***** by them that team fight.
