Has anyone ever tried Amumage as me and my...

[quote=Zeprido]From how I look at things, just because the ratio is 1:1 does not mean you should stack AP/AD, it just mean you need less AP for said skill to be stronger and can focus more on defensive/support items for the team. So building him as a glass cannon mage isn't the best idea, but building him as a tanky mage instead of a full on tank might be viable.[/quote]

[quote=Adonikam]I was playing a Ranked game and my dad said I had like 5 mins to get off. I was playing as Amumu and the game was pretty even. I had tank items like Sunfire, Veil, Sorc. Shoes (Always get these, you'll notice the difference lol), etc. I decided to just straight out buy a hourglass and told my team we had to "barrel down mid". I took out the enemy Cait under her tower with one burst and we ended up winning! So yeah, Caster Amumu is OP[/quote]

Caster Amumu... not so much.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]That's not tanky mage Amumu. That's an Amumu that is being a dedicated tank, and switches to tanky magic damage items because his team is winning. Anything similar to Rod of Ages, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Zhonya's Hourglass, or Abyssal Scepter fall under this category. Speaking of which, I need to put Zhonya's Hourglass in my Amumu guide.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]I'm just saying that regardless of how much AP you build on Amumu, you need to be tank first, mage second, and your armor and MR should reflect that.[/quote]

[quote=Kirluu]I think caster Amumu, aside from his Bandage Tossing himself in, using Tantrum and ulti, he needs some means of escaping again, considering his, going all AP squishieness. The obvious way to get the heck out of there would be Flash. While this combo may work great, unless he gets fed early I think the cooldown for Flash is quite some time having to wait before he can safely go and rape the enemy. (Excuse my language)[/quote]

[/quote] I'm personally aware of this, but based on previous posts, it is in my view "Amumage" would be played as a straight mage and I don't see the viability of that. So yes I agree with you that being tank first is important (even if you're off tank) and mage second.[/quote]
