Whats with the scary nunu

[quote=cocfight]So I was watching Piglet stream last night and noticed that the first thing he typed in every game that he got into was "ban nunu". I understand that [[Nunu]] is a good jungler with his objective control thanks to [[Consume]] along with being good at vision control with the ability to incorporate [[Sightstone]] into his build seamlessly. My question is, why is one of the best AD players in the world worried about a gold tier NA player playing nunu in his solo queue games? Is there something secretly OP about his kit that I am just not seeming and Piglet for some reason can not deal with? Or maybe its just a personal preference thing like how I ban [[Teemo]] so no one plays him. What are your thoughts?[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]The problem is, he is the king of jungling currently. He is one of the only guys which can efficiently counterjungle and totally destroy most junglers in the game simply because of that. He also has high sustain, which the new jungle favors. Finally, his AS/MS slow is a bane for ADC's, while the other ADC will be even more powerfull in terms of that.[/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210]Pretty much what Nick said. One thing I would add is Nunu has his own personal jungle buffs on top of the new smite oriented ones. This makes him extremely strong early and a terror mid through late.[/quote]

Even with the many ways to cancel his ult, his slows are godlike, on top of everything.[/quote]

[quote=crashstash5]When I heard about the changes to jungle and how you got buffs for smiting a camp I immediately realized Nunu would be a strong pick. Basically Nunu was already able to give himself strong buffs for using his Q which is basically the equivalent of smite. So basically Nunu grinds through the camps very efficiently with a practical double smite and gets much better bonuses then every other jungler making him INSANELY strong right now. He basically fits into any role you could think of. He can counterjungle, Farm jungle, Gank (even pre-6 pretty well) and fit into any role his team needs. He can go tank, AD, AP, Hybrid, Fighter or pretty much anything. You cannot underestimate him.[/quote]

His early game control didn't use to mean much last season but this season, the jungle is a lot rougher and objectives which Nunu are really good at securing are more important.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]i played 2 custom games with some friends the other day, and insta locked nunu. i spent the entire two games afk farming the jungle. didn't gank or counter jungle, just took the scuttle crabs and dragon. both games ended with 4 dragons on my teams side (0 on the enemies) and 1 baron for us as well (which i didnt take by myself, but most of the dragons i did)[/quote]
