Introduction
Armour seals are simply a must if you wish to jungle, Amumu simply jungles on too low health otherwise. They also make you fairly survivable really game and help escaping an aggressive counter jungle. Amumu effectively dies to all other jungler unfortunately.
I go for the AP/18 Glyphs but flat MR is also acceptable. The AP/18 gives a big boost to your W and E mid game.
There are many ways you could go with Quints but I find the Flat AP gives you a faster jungle and makes you dangerous with early ganks. Armour Quints are a good alternative
The final 9 points are really more up to preference. I would argue the 4 AP 4% cooldown reduction and Magic Pen are more beneficial than anything in the utility tree however.
Outrageously Strong Late Game
Game changing Ult
Fast Jungler
Relatively unexpected build
Cons
Needs first blue majorly
Relatively weak early, average mid
Jungles on really low health if you follow my path
Can be counter jungled (Though its not a huge deal unless they find you)
Somewhat farm dependent
Start with boots and 3 potions. Depending on the damage done to blue you can jungle to the point you return to base and buy a dorans ring and many potions as you need the health potions. You can't really gank with this build before 4 and even then if they have flash you are relatively unlikely to get a kill. This is the nature of early game Amumu. After your first dorans ring I usually follow up with a second for the mana regen as you really do just spam in jungle, it also gives you good AP and health.
After this it will really depend. If you have not died which is likely and got a kill at least when you hit 6, which is also likely I find it is good to go Rylais getting the health first. If all goes well finish it, if you need more tank based on the game go for a 700 armor. After this Frozen heart is ideal for the CD reduction, mana and armor. It is a good item. Many Amumu players I see to Sunfire which I think is majorly over-rated. The passive is just average and not worthy of your money. Upgrading your boots is costly and very dependent on the game so it is best left up to your discretion to be honest, but if you follow this guide you will learn when to with time.
If you get Sorcerers Boots Rylais and FH you will do a large amount of damage, especailly over time. You will be able to destroy adc in seconds as your AP will be suprisingly high from your masteries/runes and items. After these Items Abyssal Scepter is ideal for your low MR and gives a good passive and more AP. This all really is game dependent but at this point you really do fill a massive part of a team with your tank and damage. More than any other champ with items of a similar cost, I would argue but it is not something I can really prove to you. Anyway. From here Rabadons will make you a complete beast. You will one shot adc and melt tanks with your W. Spamming E will wreck almost anything. Randuins is also a good choice for the health, armor and teamfight active.
Do try this build and give it time like anything else. Amumu is so much more fun than most champs due to his unique skill set. Jungle really gives you the freedom to be creative rather than boring lane meta. Don't knock it until you try it. If this build doesn't work for you just give it and Amumu time and it will work.
Many people may doubt you in game but then shut up when you dominate. especially when your build is boots 2 dorans they might flame but if you watch high elo games it is common. just tell them that. Some might flame you for not ganking till 4 or 5 and say you should get Q at 2 or something equally ******ed. Amumu just doesn't to early game as well as some jungles. Its a trade off for late mid/late game some people simply can't understand.
Ive never made a guide so I don't really know what to expect. It's clearly not well made, essentially 2 hours work but anyone who is any good at lol will I promise succeed with this build with a little work. I would show a screen shot of like 7/8 wins but I don't know how.
