He counters your close melee range and abilities because of his fear. Once he gets lethality/armorpen, he also is able to shred you in duels or your squishies in fights. His R also sucks, you don't know where he's going. In short he can rush past your front line. Addition of Sanguine Blade makes him worse. Stay grouped and land a Bandage Toss when his spell shield is down.
Olaf
A decent ban because it is impossible to outplay him alone. He counters your CC with his R, and deals true damage. He also has a lot of health and is hard to take down because he has healing.. kind of makes your team focus him instead of someone else in fights.
Shaco
Easily escapes any fight whenever he wants. His ulti is also irritating. But the good thing is that his camp clearing is slower than most junglers and he can't one-shot. Shouldn't be much of a problem for you to play against, even during his ulti, just don't chase him. Or focus him. But get oracle lens asap.
Trundle
Easily makes your super-good tank build trash. Wow. Good ganking and one hard champion to outplay. I wouldn't even focus him because he is too tanky.
Hecarim
He's a really good at ganking. He'll win early game hard. If he has predator, he'll win even harder. He'll win late game if he builds right, but begins to fall off if he runs Predator. You gotta all-in on him, hoping your Q will land. The good part is he doesn't deal much damage without taking much. He has a lot of health; but not a lot of armor/mr. To counter- make the game last as long as possible. He doesn't scale as well. Easier said than done, I'm telling you right now- enemy team will have a MASSIVE lead if Hec is good.
Jax
One of the best dueling champions, in a way similar to Udyr. Surprisingly, he's also decent in team fights since he can both peel and damage. Do not get caught out- in team fights, stay together to an extent and apply CC. Scales as well, strongest mid game, and split pusher. Keep the game going.
Udyr
Strong jungler, very fast camp-clear, keep your important camps warded. His Q is OP, and he also has a shield. He is AS reliant so you do have some counter against him, but you can't go in when he's in his bear stance, so just ulti him. Hopefully your team will take care of the rest.
Vi
Shreds armor so build some health (armor if she is really ahead). Disregard previous if going AP. Q-Stun them as they charge up their Q, don't let them finish it. Ulti if they go on an ally, self-explanatory.
Xin Zhao
Dashes in on your adc, ults, you're already away from your carry. So you bandage toss back in, you ulti. Still tough because his E is undodgeable, forcing your ADC to flash away or die. His dueling power is pretty good, too, so care of that.
Anivia
Double ultimate for win. Also, her Q/stun makes it really easy for you to land your Bandage Toss
Annie
Generally a good matchup with amumu. Not much more to say, her Q and your engage could turn over a fight. Her R needs her to be pretty close to a target so yea, freeze their entire team so she can just walk up.
Brand
Another awesome person to pair ultimates with. He'll singlehandedly do significant damage to all squishies and likely force them to retreat.
Ekko
AOE damage, AOE stun, dashes, AP assassin (almost??) and has an escape ability. Insane synergy.
Fiddlesticks
With the right timing for both ultimates, you can run down a team as two. Make sure your fiddle uses his Zhonya's after engaging with his ultimate.
Katarina
You're able to cc all the enemies in her ultimate range. Don't tell me that's not ridiculous.
Kayle
Her ultimate is awesome and provides a ton of peel, her E does AOE damage + additional damage to low health enemies, and her basic attacks are also AOE to an extent. AOE champions work AWESOME with Amumu since they can shut down the enemy team quickly.
Kled
Rushes your entire team up into the fight. Helps you as well- you won't need your Q to engage. Simply ult and save it!
Miss Fortune
For maximum damage output through her R, it is best to have someone who can temporarily stun the enemy team.
Nami
Her ultimate CC's opponents you ult, and provides you with MS to escape or do something else. I'm sorry- provides ALL allies. Also insanely strong in this meta.
Orianna
After you ult, it is perfect for her to ult, which will end up dealing insane damage.
Ornn
Insane for late game because of masterworks (allows add'l scaling) and his ultimate is a great synergy with yours.
Soraka
Her silence makes it so easy to land your Bandage Toss because the enemy has no escape abilities. Also generally good for your ult.
Swain
Another perfect person- his E is a root (easy to land your Q), he has good vision (W), and his ultimate is AOE like yours and heals him.
Taric
It's difficult for him to get the wrong timing for his ultimate-- after you do it, all he has to do is press R- it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to lose a fight this way.
Zyra
Another insane ultimate synergy, insane damage for a support, as well as a root from her E. I literally can't ask for much more.
Nautilus
Pretty good lane to gank, his hook and auto will give you enough time to come in. He can save his hook and/or you can save your Bandage Toss and cause an enemy to waste their summ.
Thresh
Great lane to gank as he has many forms of cc, making it hard for the enemy to escape and easy for you to land your Q to apply more CC. On top of that, he provides a free disengage/escape with his lantern, something Amumu lacks, in case a fight he engaged on wasn't ideal.
