Playing as Nunu & Willump

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Roll your snowball from far away

    Cast Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) from far away for your ganks: the longer it rolls, the bigger it gets, and the more its damage and knock-up grow.

  2. Hit with all three snowballs

    Hit your target with all three snowballs of Snowball Barrage (E): they're slowed, then at the end of the spell, Willump roots nearby slowed enemies.

  3. Absolute Zero on locked-down enemies

    Cast Absolute Zero (R) on enemies who are already immobilized: the slow grows stronger, and the explosion hurts more the longer you channel.

  4. Save your bite for the objective

    Save Consume (Q) to finish the dragon or Baron with Smite: against a monster, the bite deals true damage and heals you.

Playing against Lee Sin

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Step up when he misses Q

    Step up when Sonic Wave (Q) misses you: without it, he has no dash to reach you, and it has a 10 to 6 second cooldown.

  2. Spread out from your allies

    In teamfights, spread out from your allies when facing him: the champion he kicks with Dragon's Rage (R) damages every enemy they collide with and knocks them into the air.

  3. Watch your early jungle

    Ward your jungle entrance early on: Lee Sin often looks to invade early to get ahead.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Lee Sin is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
