Amumu Build Guide by 6PoolHater

very detail, and provide different build for different player or situational which easier to be a better tank for new players.=)

good job and thank you very much!

Six points in tantrum in the dominion build. Thought u should know...

Solid builds for sure.

Thanks for criticism. I just forgot that LOL :)

Fixed it and add the new strategy section.

What are u talking about MrP doesn't help in the jungle? Amumu's main damage is magic damage in the jungle. His despair and tantrum are both magic damage based. Heck, his despair is what makes Amumu so fast. MrP boosts the damage from these two making it even easier to jungle. Just my thoughts, otherwise very solid build that I will want to try.

What are u talking about MrP doesn't help in the jungle?

Serenade, last time I checked jungle creeps have 0 magic resist.

Mpen don't work if enemy have 0 or negative mr, so I don't think it is good to use mpen boots in the jungle. Thanks for giving me some constructive criticism.

This build is great and I love you.

Rylai's is a huge plus for amumu's w... and sunfire just makes amumu's w even crazier with that pretty good chunk of armour too :) the alternatives for the build are very amazing when each build is used for the right situation. Overall, it's an amazing build and personally, I use it a lot myself too.

Nice build. Love Amumu, and I've been meaning to jungle as him. This guide has motivated me. +1. If you were to add a small section on laning it would be ten times better.

Hey, you asked for a review so here it is. Sorry it took a while.

Overall I think this guide is good and I absolutely love the first build (that's the one I use as well ^^), but some things don't seem right to me.
First of all, you say you don't start at blue because of your Regrowth Pendant start. However, if you simply skip red, you can easily start at blue with a leash and kill wolves-wraiths-golems after that. Once you recall, you have enough gold to finish your Philosopher's Stone and buy another Health Potion. You can then go to the red buff or leave it and wait for the wolves (they should be back up soon after recalling).
Why would you want to start anywhere else than at the blue buff on someone who is as blue-dependent as Amumu?

Also, you make it sound like Amumu is a strong champion when compared to other junglers. In terms of duelling them, he certainly is not. The best he can do early/mid game if he encounters another jungler is to keep them CC'd long enough until a teammate comes to help him.
He is also not someone who can counterjungle easily during the early game, so entering the enemy jungle early to counter the enemy jungler is a risky thing to do and I wouldn't advise anyone to try it out. Focus on your own jungle and on ganking, Amumu doesn't need to be able to kill enemy junglers 1 v 1 and he can counter them during the mid game safely.


Absolutely abysmal. Most of the times I understand what you're trying to say, sometimes I really don't.
I have made a list of 207 mistakes. No idea why, don't ask, just Ctrl+ F and fix this. Also, keep in mind that there are probably quite some mistakes that I've missed.

The guide looks good overall, but some things can be improved:

• The amount of colour. Too much atm, it only makes everything less pleasant to read. Don't use bright colours. Those are the worst.
• The list you used in your runes section (for Seals) doesn't have the ending [ /list ] tag, which causes your glyphs to shift to the right. Fix that.
• Work on your headers. Some are coloured, some are underlined, some are both and some actually look like they're bigger than the normal text size. Go for consistency. Also, make sure all headers are centered.
• Use columns in your 'best friends' section
• Work on the FAQ section. Make the answers

  smaller

  than the normal text or increase the text size of the questions. Again, don't use colours for everything.

Again something which is pretty good overall, but you need to discuss items more. You have 5 different builds which you name in a separate section (giving a short description of what kind of builds they are), you then explain why the items in the main build work great on Amumu and list some core items, before suddenly giving a list of other items without explaining anything on as to why they're good for him. More depth is needed there.

---

Right, that should be enough.

Good luck on further improving the guide :)

Thank you for your review.
