Unfortunately jungle meta has shifted to more of a farming jungler. If you're up against a good opponent that locks in Shyv and then spends the first 15 minutes of the game farming you'll fall hopelessly behind. I'm friends with Azingy known in season 2 and 3 as the best Amumu in NA. He refuses to play him right now. Amumu can't keep up, gold wise, with some of the bruiser junglers that are tier 1/popular right now.
Play Amumu all you want, just recognize that there are better junglers out there right now. I put Amumu in tier 3 personally.
Second thing is how to diplay it so when you hover over an item it displays all the details. I know it must be something with the link but I just cant figure it out.
Im trying to make the guide look as sexy as possible but I can only work with what I understand.
I have to admit I have never built SV and therefore after two people might give it a try and see. I would tend to disagree with you on the weakness though. I think his engage can be game changing at any elo. I will also say that a bad engage can land your own death and a quick throw! A sucessful bandage tosses early almost always garuntees a kill from a gank (without flash). I have found the movement Quints better solidify that gank kill. I might go back to experimenting and add acceptable runes to swap in.
Your edit sums up what I want to add into the guide eventually. I have never built Liandry's and Rylai's together and 9/10 if I feel im tanky enough I build Rylai's getting the Giants belt first. The only time I have built Liandry's if I felt in the last teamfight we were wrecked slightly even with a good engage (ie my team just dont have enough damage but a fight is inevitable).
Thanks again for the feedback
Edit: You should generally steer clear of 'AP' Amumu, the Rylais/Liandrys combo is a lot of money to throw at minimal tank stats. Amumu needs to be able to soak a lot of damage. The only time I'd consider a Rylais is after AG, Sunfire, Abyssal, Randuins. I would only build it if we had double AD in the solos and I was fed. I would never build Liandrys on him.
I tend to disagree on the spirit visage. Thats not to say I never build it. But I need to explain the circumstances further when I keep adding to the guide. Main one is abilities that hinder your engage will get blocked by the veil and allow you that clean engage.
A guide does not need a pros and cons to be good but im sure in time I will add this too. Do you know how hard it is to write a guide with a wife, kid, day job? Time is short my friend and I wanted to help the community. I have never done this before.
The title is just a catchy one to get people to read it. It was my first review after all. feedback is more than welcome :)
Rylai's is something I actually built last game and Liandry's is also something I have also built. I dont want to add these to the guide without detailing the when to use. As I believe people can get caught short without enough defence.
I endeavour to work on this guide in my spare time to show people how well Amumu jungle can carry. The build I gave in this first edition is the Amumu guide for "Dummys". Its really hard to go wrong in other words.
I dont want you to think that I am completely negative about your comments. I really do appreciate the feedback. Dont expect updates quickly though. Its taken me long enough to get the first edition out :(
