All valid points, can't argue with that.

All his strengths come before team fights even happen though. His counter-jungling and pushing power when coupled with an AD-whatever to take down turrets fast, if done right, is insanely powerful and essentially puts everyone ahead and the other team behind (especially the jungler), so yes, his team fighting isn't the best, but he can make them a whole lot easier for your team.

Granted, if he can't do his thing, he is almost useless.

we are talking about top lane nunu though, which is what i think nickname suggested so i dont think he can do any of his counterjungling stuff from there

plus the new jungle changes make it so counterjungling isnt as destructive as it was before so its still easy to bounce back after you get a buff stolen or something, and a lot of the current junglers can kill nunu too

If you want to try a champion like Nunu top, play Sejuani or something instead.
Also I have no idea what this thread is about anymore.
Hue.

Basically MOBAFire.

It would say it's just one of the specialities of top lane champions to have unbeliveable high hp regen..

The sense of top lane Nunu & Willump is to deny the enemy so hard so he can't get back into the game. Later in the game, you will be in front of your carry anyway and defend him against others and with your high damage Ice Blast, it isn't that hard to do.
He is gonna kill you!!!

Basically, top lane Nunu is your team's second support, with the perk of having slightly more gold than your other support.

Correct, but with the gold you can use him to counterbuild your enemy with items like Frozen Heart and this way hurt the enemy team, mainly the AD Carry, more. And it ist still better to have a second support than a bruiser with 0 damage and tankyness, in which Nunu & Willump transforms his enemies.

Also, a toplane Nunu & Willump who manages to get kills on the enemy top laner can also have the benefit of terrorizing the enemy jungler with counter-jungling as well. Even the slight possibility of the 7-8 minute invasion is annoying to deal with.

Why would you pick Sejuani top lane as opposed to Nunu & Willump? O.o It's like hit a minions, get a free Ice Blast, Consume a minion, rinse and repeat until opponent dies or recalls.
