Evelynn
Evelynn is most likely the best counter to Nunu, she does magic damage which is hard to build against early game, she can break out of Nunu's slow, her passive denies vision even with wards, and she can easily kill Nunu. Ward her camps to keep track of where she is farming and try to coordinate counter ganks to set her behind.
Introduction
Nunu is a jungler with great sustain, counter jungling, map control, vision control, and is also really annoying to play against. With a tanky jungle item and a sightstone Nunu can dominate Summoner's Rift.
The following items make him a great duelist and extremely annoying which is why I try to buy them whenever possible.
Mercury's Threads
Tenacity against crowd control, gotta love it.
Spirit of the Ancient Golem
Health, armor, cooldown reduction, extra damage to monsters - perfect.
Ruby Sightstone
Health, along with wards for vision control.
Sunfire Cape
Health, armor, area of effect damage for wave clear and team fights.
Thornmail
Armor, a lot of armor, absolutely wrecks physical damage carries in fights.
Spirit Visage
Health, magic resist for those pesky mages, cooldown reduction, and increasing healing for consume!
The damage returned from Spirit of the Ancient Golem and Thornmail plus Sunfire Cape's damage gives Nunu awesome wave clear, allows him to do good damage to people by being up close, and let's Nunu wreck Baron and Dragon for easy objectives. Along with increased sustain from Spirit Visage.
Early game focus on setting the enemy jungler behind so he can't gank using awesome counter jungling and vision control, and look for an early dragon to get your team ahead in gold. If your mid isn't feeding give them blue buff if they need it since with Nunu's passive mana shouldn't be an issue.
In team fights peel for your carries by keeping the enemy team slowed, absorb damage, and keeping blood boil on your AD Carry. Nunu's ultimate is great at getting the enemy team to focus you or spread out giving your team an advantage.
