How to beat Amumu

Common role: Jungle / Support

A sad mummy whose bandage toss and ultimate lock entire teams.

What makes Amumu dangerous

Amumu throws a bandage that stuns and pulls him to you (two charges as support), tantrums with AoE damage reduction, and his ultimate roots and disarms everyone around him — the classic wombo setup for any AoE follow-up.

How to play against Amumu

• 1Hide behind minions: the bandage stops on the first unit hit.
• 2Spread for his ult — grouped teams lose the fight to one button.
• 3QSS/Cleanse the ult root on your carry.
• 4He's weak early: invade and pressure before his first item.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Bandage is body-blockable — one minion ruins the engage.
• ✓Mana-hungry early jungle clears.
• ✓Little threat when his ult is down — track it.
• ✓Magic damage only — MR stacking blunts him.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Amumu's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Verfluchte Berührung

  Amumus normale Angriffe verfluchen seine Gegner und lassen sie zusätzlichen absoluten Schaden erleiden, wenn sie von magischem Schaden getroffen werden.

  Strong: cursed targets take bonus true damage from magic. Weak: the curse needs his team's magic follow-up — alone it's nothing.

• Q
  Bandagenwurf

  Amumu schleudert eine klebrige Bandage auf ein Ziel, zieht sich heran, betäubt es und fügt ihm Schaden zu.

  Strong: a stunning pull with two charges as support. Weak: stops on the first unit — one minion bodyguard ruins it.

• W
  Verzweiflung

  Vom Schmerz überwältigt verlieren nahe Gegner pro Sekunde einen Teil ihres maximalen Lebens. Außerdem werden ihre Flüche erneuert.

  Strong: an AoE %HP burn aura for clears and brawls. Weak: drains mana constantly — his early fights are short.

• E
  Wutanfall

  Verringert dauerhaft den normalen Schaden, den Amumu erleiden würde. Er kann seine Wut entfesseln und an Gegnern in der Nähe Schaden verursachen. Jedes Mal, wenn Amumu getroffen wird, verringert sich die Abklingzeit von „Wutanfall“.

  Strong: passive damage reduction plus AoE damage on cast. Weak: the reduction covers physical only — magic goes through.

• R
  Fluch der traurigen Mumie

  Amumu wickelt nahe Gegner in Bandagen, die seinen Fluch übertragen, Schaden zufügen und sie betäuben.

  Strong: a huge AoE root-and-disarm — the classic wombo button. Weak: long cooldown; spread out and only one person eats it.

Itemization

Body-block bandages, spread against the ult, bring QSS on carries. MR items cut his whole kit.
