Hey guys, I’m yJustSad, currently the Top 2 Nunu Mid player in EUW!You guys probably know me from my Tiktoks! I’m also a Twitch streamer grinding hard on my way to Twitch Partner. If you wanna drop by, ask questions, or just kick back and chill while watching some insane Nunu plays, then click that link! I’m yJustSad, aka the BOOM EAASYY guy, a dedicated Nunu Mid player in EUW. I’ve peaked Master at around 250 LP, consistently climbing with full AP Nunu & Willump. You might have seen me on the rift or around the community. I focus on solid gameplay and winning the midlane beofe I start to roam away from the midlane. This guide breaks down how to play full AP Nunu midlane effectively — from item builds and optimal timings to counters, matchup tips, runes, and strategies. I have close to 3.000.000 Mastery on Nunu so you know that I atleast know a little bit about what im talking! |

Invading with Homeguard & Early Game StrategyYou ever wanted to hit 5 people at once before the minions even say "hi"? Good. Because Homeguard ![]() ![]() |
Early game
Roaming & Early Game Strategy
Once minions spawn, your job is simple:
Delete the wave. Roll Your Ball and BOOMM delete the wave with

-
➤ Roam to bot lane and help secure early pressure or kills.
-
➤ Assist your jungler during their first clear to secure objectives faster.
-
➤ Invade the enemy jungle with your jungler, taking advantage of lane priority.
Laning
Trading & Immortal in Lane
Let’s get one thing straight: Nunu does not trade, Nunu endures.
How to Trade: |
If you're feeling lazy, just spam E three times from a distance. Boom Electrocute procced, enemy chunked, Nunu happy. Casually walk away and heal up with Nunus Q |
Mid game
Push, Pick, Profit
As Nunu Mid, your midgame revolves around creating constant pressure on the map.You typically rotate to bot lane, push the wave quickly to draw attention and force reactions. This gives you an opportunity to either:
-
➤ Roam back to mid and look for easy picks on isolated targets.
➤ Group with your team to force skirmishes or dive overextended enemies.

Playing Nunu Mid When Behind or AheadIf you're behind, stay patient and wait safely in your base. Your goal is to punish overextensions. As soon as an enemy steps too far forward, you use your full combo to instantly one-shot them. Even from behind, this can create picks that turn the game around If you're ahead, the strategy is similar but much more proactive. You can camp in fog of war near areas like Scuttle Crab or on the Cloud Soul map, where the movement speed zones let you launch high-speed surprise attacks. Anyone who wanders just a bit too far is instantly deleted. |
Feats of Strength
Feats of Strength are tied to three things:
tips and tricks
Master the Hard Combo:The main mechanical combo to learn is Flash + W + Q + E. Use Flash and instant W to catch enemies off guardHomeguardAfter recalling, use Homeguard to start your W from the fountain — you’ll zoom back to lane way faster than walking. |
dying is goodIf you die, take advantage of buffed Homeguard speed to turn your death into an opportunity. Aim for a surprise gank on another lane while flying out of base.generate tempoNunu can easily solo scuttle crabs with Q and autos.Use the free movement speed boost from taking scuttle to roam and pressure other lanes |
Why should i play Nunu midlane?
Why I Started Playing AP Nunu
I originally started playing toplane — a slow, punishing lane where every mistake feels massive. But what frustrated me most was constantly being abused by the enemy jungler. I didn’t feel like I was losing lane due to skill, but rather because of outside interference.
That’s when something in my mind clicked.
I thought, “What if I could be the interference? What if I could tilt the toplane in my team’s favor instead of just suffering through it?” That’s how AP Nunu Mid was born — not as a conventional pick, but as a tool. I’d perma-gank toplane, building a game-winning gap between the toplaners. It felt like reclaiming control over the part of the map that used to feel so hopeless.
Since the recent changes, that strategy doesn’t work quite the same. The meta shifted — now it’s more about punishing the enemy jungler instead. But the principle remains:
Identify where the game is decided, and hit it hard.
The Only Real Problem With Playing AP Nunu
The hardest part of playing Nunu isn’t the mechanics — it’s dealing with toxic teammates.
People see the champ, call it a troll pick, and tilt before the game even starts. Some teammates will even ban Nunu just because you hovered it, or worse — run you down on purpose.
But none of that compares to the absolute satisfaction of carrying those same teammates to victory.
Nothing beats the look on their faces (in my mind, anyway) when I solo win the game with a pick they laughed at in champ select.
Enemies and allies alike underestimate you — until they’re watching their screens fade to gray.
Because this is Nunu Mid.
Because there’s nothing more thrilling than blasting through the enemy jungle at 1200 movement speed and making people explode out of nowhere.
Thank You ❤️
Huge shoutout to everyone supporting me on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitch — you’re the reason I keep doing this.
And of course, thank you for taking the time to read this guide.
Whether you're looking to try AP Nunu yourself or were just curious — I appreciate every single click, comment, and follow.
No matter how crazy the pick may seem,
with you all, it's twice the fun.
