The free weekend champs came perfect timing, I ended up purchasing Vlad but really enjoy playing MF as well.

Swain in the right hands is a PITA.

Gotta say this game freakin' rocks. It's displaced all other games (including SC2) for me right now.

Getting the hang of the basic champs right now before I unlock any. Been having fun with Nunu today (went ~17-3 my first match) as a jungler... his mvmt/atk speed buff makes him awesome at hunting down wounded champs and finishing them off.

One thing I am not very clear on is equipment progression. Any suggestions?

All the wealthy, unhappy people you've ever met take sleeping pills; Mobile Infantrymen don't need them. Give a cap trooper a bunk and time to sack out in it, and he's as happy as a worm in an apple—asleep.

That takes experience to get that down. Items change depending on the game you're in. In the 20's-30's brackets, people stack a ton of armor/resist.

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.

I suppose it's trial and error. I can't remember the combo I used with Nunu, beyond a basic hp/AP build. I played a 3v3 and at one point caught all enemy players with their CDs up and killed two of them and escaped from the third.

He's definitely a lot of fun as a tank who hits surprisingly hard and his movement speed and slows means wounded champs are unlikely to escape.

Nunu is pretty much an anything character. Nunu could go attack damage, could go ability power or could go tank. Hell, your ult does massive damage without a drop of ability power. Also, it slows the shit out of everyone.

Nunu tank is badass. If you continue to play Nunu, you should base your items on how the game is going. Each team should have 1 tank. If you don't have one, take that role. If your team has no casters, take the caster role.

FYI, as a caster going for pure AP and being squishy, you get the Magic Pen Boots, Zhonya's and 4x Archangel Staves (not in that order).

AD buffs his auto-attack, right? His ice lance is on such a short cooldown that it's easy to just lance them and keep up and beat the shit out of them.

Yeah, so you turn him into a melee beast and you use your ice lance as a slower, rather than as a damage attack.

Get a Phage (upgraded to Trinity Force or Frost Hammer), it's like a rogue slow-poison to keep them perma slowed.

most nunu's rush defensive items until level 11 then go offensive, his ult still does a ton of damage and he has great harrassment and survival skills.

Interesting, do they just tank and harass as def?

They're meat-shields. They get in the faces of players during team fights and force the other team to engage, and then utterly lock them down while the rest of your team annihilates them.

Nunu pegs a team mate, charges in, their team charges you, you ult, their team gets the fuck out in slow motion while your team wrecks them. Because you have like 3-4k HP and 200-300 armor and magic resist, they never kill you.

Just got enough points to unlock TF.

He's not for everyone but he is my personal favorite. He can do damage or caster or hybrid. I prefer damage, but it makes his Q worthless.

Nunu's a decent champ - good for jungling (one of the fastest to jungle, and good for ganking).

If you find yourself in a heavy AD team, you'll want to max your bloodboil first, 65% ASPD increase + 15% MS increase on a kogmaw is pure rape.

Instead of Trinity Force, I would recommend Lichbane, the +8% MS and 80AP work really well with him, especially considering Ice Lance has a 1:1 AP conversion rate. You'll almost always want to get a Banshee's with Nunu, unless the other team has no interrupts/stuns/silences. His ult deals great damage, but is very easy to avoid when the other team has flash/ghost etc.

Make sure to place your ult in bushes, even if an enemy champ walks right next to you, as long as you are in the bushes and he is not, he won't even see the Absolute Zero go off until his HP drops.

When jungling, I usually take smite and fortify, although you can pick and choose anything to replace fortify.

I usually start with a Ruby Crystal for the +180 HP, taking down golem at level 1 is easy with Nunu and once you start going through the rounds (assuming no enemy jungler) you should hit level 6 around about the same time as your solo lane. Now's a good time to start ganking.

Communication with your teammates is key, and getting them to bait into your ult will almost undoubtedly net you a kill. I almost always pick up Merc treads. It's good for chasing, reducing snare/stuns.

Once I complete Mercs, I go for my Banshees, depending on the team and if I'm required to go tank, I'll usually get either Force of Nature or Randuins. Extra slows never hurt anyone, plus the Heart of Gold that builds into Randuins boosts your income a little as well.

Come the end of the game, if it's dragged out quite a bit, you probably won't deal as much damage as most of the other carries in the game, but you'll be able to boost their damage output so much with Blood Boil that they'll love you for it.

I just blade in a match where Tryndamere went with 3 Bloodthirsters, 2 Phantom Dancers and an Infinity Edge.

No boots. hah. I think he had 29 kills.

Also, in that game, we had 2 of our inhibitors destroyed and not a single tower of theirs destroyed.

We came back with a win.
