Banning Amumu

[quote=DuffTime]^ If I'm on Olaf I don't ban Amumu at Any Elo but if I'm at a low elo and people wan amumu ban I give it to them. If they need the ban then they can't deal with what the champion brings, either via lack of understanding, preparation, skill, whatever the case may be, they lose to Amumu, so I respect that and ban it for them. *Shrug.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]People ban Amumu because he's the Tank version of Karthus: Press R to win. [quote=Lugignaf] Amumu's not OP. he is insanely strong however. Best initiation in solo queue that pretty much screams "LET'S DO THIS SHIT! LEEEEEEROYYYYYY, UH JENKINSSSSSSS!"[/quote] I've said this before, and I'll say it again. The best initiation skill belongs to [[Maokai]]. Solo-queue, 3v3, 1v1, 5v5 premades, any LoL match-up. Nothing beats [[Twisted Advance]] when it comes to reaching and securing a target. Nothing.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Agreeing with you here Jun. Unfortunately, most people don't even play Maokai at about 1200s because, IMO, he's difficult.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I dunno. Urgot, Taric, Maokai, Ryze, Sion, Malphite, Alistar, probly a few others all have pretty comparable and very good "Secure a target" skills. What sets Maokai apart is his Arcane Smash to continue to keep opponents around.[/quote]

[quote=Khazem]When people first pick Amumu I just pick Nunu and give them a reason to cry. 15 min level 6 Amumu's are OP.[/quote]

[/quote] Assuming perfect conditions and skill, that's more likely to a character like Ashe who can get full screen, 3.5 second stuns without endangering herself. Morg can do similar with her Q and nuke the living crap at of someone. Of course, minions can be a variable (as could aim), but at least she's not having to throw herself into the fray to do it. This aside, Maoaki is one of my favorite champs, and he does easily have one of the best initiates in the game.[/quote]
