Im just trying to get better at Amumu!

[quote=AmoreiTehGjeni]So, i'm trying to get better at Amumu ready for level 30 (Currently 22) I adore this character, brilliant support, good Jungler and an excellent all around tanker. I only want to get better at Amumu, and plan to limiting myself (mostly) to him until level 30, as to get as good as i can for my friends, and join in on the ranked action! I've read some fantastic guides here on Mobafire, and feel i'm a sub-par Amumu, going positive 9/10 and helping with all the ganking action, and taking those aces with my QQ curse rage combo. All i'm here for is a few friendly tips on Amumu, some stuff i may have missed, or forgotten, obviously you don't know what i'm like with him, so just throw everything you have at me, all the information and every little thing, i want to know!... I have an obsession. Thankyou very much in advance, ill reply as much as i can, and lets make this heard for other aspiring Amumu-ers (:S) like me![/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Heh, I hope you've read the "tips and tricks" section of my guide. :) One of the things I would highly advise you learn - you mention going positive 9/10, taking those aces, etc. Don't be concerned about your K/D as Amumu. In a team fight, every point of damage you take is a point of damage that your carries did NOT take. Lead your team, bait them out, because you have enough health and resistances to afford it. Stick to their most potent threat on the enemy team and disable it and DPS it down with your skills. Save Bandage Toss for channeled spells. Save your ultimate for the best possible positioning. Never chase a person down - protecting your team is more important. Another trick you may want to master is the act of feeding your carries. As a jungler, you'll often catch people off-guard and ensure a kill. If you can - but only if the kill is guaranteed - try to let the carry in your lane get the kill, not you. You thrive off assists and creep farm, not kills, and your carries need the immediate gold more. Toggle off Despair, don't use Tantrum, but just run next to them in case your carry can't pick them off - but if they can, that's 300 gold for them instead of just 110 for an assist, or however much it is.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]It might be helpful to queue up with champions that have AoE ultimates when you play with your friends. Nunu, miss fortune, anivia, annie, fiddlesticks, gangplank, kennen, katarina, pantheon, twitch all have ultimates that synergize with amumu's ultimate. Of those, I'd say kennen, katarina, nunu, miss fortune, and fiddlesticks require his ultimate most. It's just a suggestion to give your carries some extra hard-hitting ultimates, but it might help drastically.[/quote]

[quote=AmoreiTehGjeni]Wow thanks for the quick replies! I see, i did think i should be focussing more on allowing my carries to get kills, and just assisting slowly seems like a great idea, and no NOOBWTF LOL L2P AMUMU LIKE I DO posts as of yet, and yes Jebus i loved your guide :P! And thanks for the tips Trojan, my friends like to play a couple of those Champs, and ill make sure to call out for some of those a bit more :)[/quote]

[quote=SinDelta]My buddy Thomas a.k.a SinDeltaTM mains Amumu you should add him on US realm. He will give you in game advice.[/quote]

[quote=Adonikam]I'd recommend learning like 10 more champions. Amumu is a frequent ban.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995][quote=Adonikam] I'd recommend learning like 10 more champions. Amumu is a frequent ban. [/quote] Yeah, but when he's not banned he's a first pick. So, he should know at least one of the main banned tanks (shen, amumu, rammus on occasion) in case they need one as a first pick, and then knowing a less potent (but still useful) tank (cho'gath, udyr, others...) is necessary for when those are banned because people want to limit good tanks in games.[/quote]

[quote=AmoreiTehGjeni][quote=SinDelta] My buddy Thomas a.k.a SinDeltaTM mains Amumu you should add him on US realm. He will give you in game advice. [/quote] I see so Amumu gets 'Banned' I know nothing of this, or what it entails... I am obviously into more than just him, but yes i've been looking at few other tanks (Cho' included) So ill look into buying him. Thanks for all the feedback, keep commenting, even if its 1 little item, i really do want to know. Also in reply to the quote, im EU not US :o[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Once you get to level 30, you can play ranked games, where 4 champions are banned before people pick their champions. Amumu is a common ban.[/quote]
