Nunu & Willump

Nunu & Willump live on objectives. Consume, a large point-and-click bite that both deals damage and restores health, lets them contest smite fights better than almost anyone, and they can still snatch dragons and barons from behind. Their quick, sustain-heavy camp clears keep the duo moving at jungle pace even when they’re played in top or mid, where the same kit turns into healing and wave control.

Their ganks are hard to miss. Biggest Snowball Ever! has Willump roll a snowball that grows larger and faster as it travels, then smashes into enemies for damage and a knockup. It’s an obvious gank, yet it still works well through jungle routes and around blind corners. Snowball Barrage then throws a volley of snowballs and finishes by rooting each champion or big monster it hits, stacking crowd control long enough for the team to close the fight.

Setting up the team

Call of the Freljord gives a nearby ally bonus attack speed and movement speed, and Willump’s attacks start splashing damage onto nearby targets, so the pair boosts whichever carry they’re protecting. Absolute Zero is the teamfight anchor: a channeled blizzard that slows everything caught inside and explodes for huge damage if it isn’t interrupted, pushing enemies to either spread out or burn spells trying to stop it.

The champion asks little in terms of mechanics and brings a tanky, magic-damage build, which suits players who prefer to win through map control, vision-line snowballs, and crowd control rather than through 1v1 mechanical skill.
