Hello. I'm a long time Amumu platinum player and I'd like to give you my 2 cents on this guide :).

Firstly, Exhaust is cool and good on Amumu. However, Flash is a muuuuch more powerful choice for him. Because Amumu has not much mobility to escape, Flash will save your life very often. Flash also lets you do the Flash + Curse of the Sad Mummy initiation combo that is gamechanging late game. Exhaust feels a bit unnecessary considering how much CC you have, How much tankiness you have and how much you can already reduce the enemy's damage. Flash feels far more useful.

Boots of Swiftness are pretty much a noob trap to be honest. If you want the best chasing boots possible, these are Mercury's Treads. Spending less times CCed will help you chase much more than the ridiculous extra 20 movespeed that Boots of Swiftness will give you.

Your build order isn't the one I would use but That's really fine because there is no order that is set in stone. Good job on that. However, the Warmog's Armor doesn't earn it's spot at all here xD. Warmog's Armor will surely help you stay alive longer but there are other items that are by far more useful. Too much tankiness is like not enough.. I would recommend Frozen Heart to help your entire teams tankiness and not only yours. Cooldown reduction is also a veeeery powerful stat on Amumu, so yeah. And he tends to run out of mana quickly, even late game ( Frozen Heart gives mana).

Skill order: Since the Tantrum change, I believe E is now a much more reliable and powerful farming/ganking tool. Maxing Bandage Toss second is also incredibly powerful because the base damage goes really high and the reduced cooldown allows you to use it multiple times in teamfights. Despair only becomes strong when enemies have high HP and that's late game (so maxing it last is ok).

Runes: I love your runes and I think they are fine. But I still would like you to try Armor Marks. That may sound silly but those will really help Amumu's early game jungling (he is so vulnerable to counter jungling and he gets low HP in the jungle). MPen marks aren't too necessary because of Amumu's passive but yeah they're still great. I personally enjoy having a safer early game. Your choice :)


While your guide is beautiful (JhoiJhoi and BBcoding FTW), I think your guide lacks a little bit of information :p. You could, for example, include videos on how to gank or how to clear the jungle (even though you have a map that shows the order), a section on how to play early/mid/late game.


I hope I helped you :3

Good guide, I like it. But I disagree that you should take boots with Movement Speed Quints.
Because with boots you're going to be fast enough and the Quints would be useless. Taking Movement Speed Quints when starting with Regrowth Pendant is better if you insist on these runes.
Oh, and also Amumu's main spell is flash, so you can't leave it, it will help you initiate fights when your Q is on cool down and also when you need to run away/secure the kill.

But well done, hope this gets to the top! :)

no information at all, wrong skill sequence
