How to beat Nunu & Willump

Common role: Jungle

A snowball-rolling tank who controls objectives and eats your camps.

What makes Nunu & Willump dangerous

Nunu rolls a growing snowball that knocks up and travels terrain, eats jungle camps and champions with true-damage bites, and channels an ultimate that deals massive damage and shields him. His objective control is the best in the game — he devours dragons and barons through your smite.

How to play against Nunu & Willump

• 1Sidestep the snowball around walls — hitting terrain or dodging it wastes his gank.
• 2Interrupt his ultimate channel with any hard CC — it's his whole teamfight.
• 3Contest objectives with damage, not just smite: his Q bite out-secures.
• 4He falls off hard — survive early ganks and out-scale.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Falls off significantly in the mid-late game.
• ✓The snowball is loud and visible — ward and it telegraphs every gank.
• ✓His ult channel is interruptible by any hard CC.
• ✓Low damage without the snowball hit.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Nunu & Willump's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Chiamata del Freljord

  Nunu aumenta le velocità di attacco e movimento di Willump e di un alleato vicino, e fa in modo che gli attacchi base di Willump danneggino i nemici intorno al bersaglio.

  Strong: his and Willump's attacks empower each other for objective melting. Weak: it's PvE-oriented — in a straight duel he's weak without ult.

• Q
  Consumazione

  Willump azzanna un minion, mostro o campione nemico bersaglio, infliggendo danni e curandosi.

  Strong: a true-damage bite that heals and out-secures objectives. Weak: predictable — burn objectives fast outside his bite window or zone him first.

• W
  La palla di neve più grande di sempre!

  Willump crea una palla di neve che diventa sempre più grande e veloce mano a mano che la fa rotolare. La palla di neve danneggia e lancia in aria i nemici.

  Strong: a growing snowball that knocks up and crosses terrain. Weak: loud, visible and steerable — sidestep or hug walls; a hit terrain wastes it.

• E
  Raffica di palle di neve

  Nunu lancia una raffica di palle di neve che danneggiano i nemici. Quando ha finito, Willump trattiene tutti i campioni e i mostri grandi colpiti da una palla di neve.

  Strong: snowball volleys slow and eventually root you. Weak: short range — the root needs you to STAY close; just walk out.

• R
  Zero Assoluto

  Nunu e Willump creano una potente tempesta in un'area che rallenta i nemici e infligge danni ingenti alla fine.

  Strong: a channelled AoE nuke with a huge shield — deadly in chokes. Weak: ANY hard CC interrupts it; the damage needs the full channel.

Itemization

Vision defeats the snowball; hard CC defeats the ult. Don't 50/50 objectives — burn them fast before his bite window.
