JunglePatch 16.2.1
What They Do
Amumu is a high-utility tank jungler who specializes in locking down entire teams. He uses to engage and to stun anyone nearby, while his and allow him to shred tanks with true damage.
Abilities (What to Watch For)
| Ability | What You'll See | What It Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| A small curse icon above your head after he autos you | You take bonus true damage from all incoming magic damage. This makes his and his mages' spells hit significantly harder. | |
| A long-range bandage skillshot | If it hits, he stuns you and pulls himself to you. This is his only gap closer and primary way to set up his . | |
| A circular pool of tears around Amumu | Deals % max health damage every second and refreshes . Do not stand near him in extended fights or you will melt regardless of your HP. | |
| Amumu spins in a circle | Passively reduces physical damage he takes. Each time you auto-attack him, the cooldown is reduced, allowing him to spam it more often in minion waves or against high attack speed targets. | |
| A massive expanding circle of bandages | Stuns and curses everyone in a large radius. This is one of the strongest teamfight ultimates in the game. If you see him flash in, move away immediately. |
Respect
- !Double charges→Even if he misses one bandage, he usually has a second charge ready to catch you. Don't assume you're safe just because he missed once.
- !Level 6 Power Spike→Amumu's ganks go from 'okay' to 'deadly' once he gets . He can lock you down long enough for any laner to burst you.
- !True Damage→His passive turns 10% of magic damage into true damage. If he is paired with a heavy AP mid or top, you will die much faster than expected.
- !Fast Objective Shred→Because deals % max health damage, he can solo Dragons and Barons surprisingly fast for a tank.
Punish
- +Missed →If he misses his bandage, he has zero mobility and no way to stick to you. This is the time to kite him or counter-invade.
- +Pre-Level 6→Amumu is a relatively weak duelist early on. Aggressive junglers like Lee Sin or Olaf can invade his jungle and kill him before he gets his ultimate.
- +is on cooldown→Amumu's teamfighting threat drops by 80% without his ultimate. Force major objectives or 5v5 fights while his is down.
- +Isolated in the river→Amumu needs teammates to follow up on his CC. If you catch him alone, he lacks the solo kill pressure to win a 1v1 against most bruisers.
Laning Tips
- •Always stand behind your minions when he ganks; they block his entirely.
- •If you are a jungler, look to invade his second buff. He is often low HP during his first clear.
- •Pick up Mercury's Treads early. The Tenacity is mandatory to escape his into chain.
- •Warding deep in his jungle is better than warding river brushes because he can over walls to bypass standard wards.
- •Avoid fighting him inside your own minion wave; your minions hitting him will reset the cooldown on his constantly.
- •If he hits you with , expect the immediately. Be ready to Flash the follow-up if you're low.
Teamfight Warning
- ⚠Spread out! Do not give him the satisfaction of a 3-man or 4-man .
- ⚠Save your Disruption CC (silence, knock-aside) for when he tries to walk into the middle of your team.
- ⚠If you have a Quicksilver Sash or Cleanse, save it specifically for .
- ⚠Watch for the 'Flash-Ult' combo. If Amumu has Flash up, his effective engage range is doubled.
- ⚠Focus the person he's NOT hitting if they are the damage source. Amumu himself is just the delivery system for his team's follow-up.
