## How to play against Nunu & Willump

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

### In lane and in teamfights

- Ward river entrances early and ping the lane he can roll into. Step away from straight-line paths before his W reaches full speed.

- Interrupt his channel or leave its center when he starts R. Do not trade inside the slow field unless you can stop it.

- Control objective vision before he enters river. Force him to start W from visible space where your team can sidestep or block it.

- Secure the objective only after tracking his Q and Smite threat. Zone him first instead of flipping damage at low health.

- Keep interrupts ready for R during clustered fights. Spread enough that one channel cannot force your whole team out.

## Where Nunu & Willump is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

- Nunu's engage is linear and visible, making his snowball much weaker when approaches are warded or blocked.

- His damage falls off when enemies interrupt channels, leaving him dependent on objective control and crowd control.
