Yeah still same old problem in that his Q has a rather long-*** cooldown and he doesn't effectively clear camps like Wraiths anywhere as quick as other top tier junglers. Although I'd still try it out to see, could work well with some combos.

Nunu jungle speed still incredibly slow. Not like he builds AD to support the AS anyways.

Something tells me you haven't played Nunu a lot, his attack damage is incredible at early game ganks when jungling, and with blood boil it's simply amazing early game

And Nunu is good jungler imo, for me I usually gank bot when our solo is lv5 with blue and red which is decent considering the route I take

There are faster junglers yes, but not as consistent or as good late game as Nunu can be for the team

He's a fairly slow jungler, though I'm sure the extra AS will help his speed a little. He's not meant to be a power clearer, so don't pick him if that's what you're expecting.

Early and mid game, Nunu excels at counter jungling and providing CC and some damage for ganks. He has a lot of mobility for ward placement and map control, as well as a good dragon time if you can get your AD bot to help you.

Mid and late game you'll be a Blood Boiling, Ice Blasting machine who's annoying to kill and difficult to escape. A lot of your utility comes from drawing focus and disrupting their carry for your team to pick off.

Nunu doesn't bring a lot of damage to a team and he has a mediocre jungle speed. Play him when your team has a strong autoattacker like Vayne and need a mobile ganking jungler early on instead of a passive farmer. If their team lacks Exhaust and any hard CC, you can also just ult in a team fight and blow everyone up. :P

Strictly on topic: Nunu's passive will benefit a bit from the extra AS, but that isn't really the point. It will speed up his jungle a little more throughout the game to even him out with the rest of the medium clear speed junglers. It's a small buff, but it certainly helps, at least a little.
Thanks to Minho for the sig!

Nunu is a fast jungler early, but his jungle slows way down as the creeps get alot stronger and he doesnt because he is getting support items and skills. If you dont get ahead early you are pretty much destined to mediocrity because you cant really catch up in the jungle. The patch didnt change this drastically but it helped.

yeah, jungle creeps just gain health over time, which means that the less points you put into q the faster you'll slow down.

problem is nunu was extremely reliant on blue buff at level 1, now with extra as he doesnt need it as much but still has mana problems early wihtout it.

nunu is just a great jungler and the increase in attack speed will set him up for more free spells more often.
