[Pre-season 8] FreELO Team Carry TankMumu! [In-Depth]
Summoner Spells Back to Top
I would 99.999% of the time go for Flash/Smite. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AS AN INITIATION (OR ESCAPE) SPELL. FAR TOO GOOD IN COMPARISON TO OTHER SPELLS.
You won't get much out of it. I never choose Ghost/Smite. The most useless thing you can get.
+ ULT is best because enemy team won't expect it! Q++ ULT is also a good way to engage Which jungler doesn't get this? + this is what enables you to get a jungle itemNew Runes Back to Top

Aatrox
Medium
Don't fight him early on. Even if you do beat him. He will have his passive and kill you.
VS
Amumu
Medium
Skill matchup
VS
Blitzcrank
Easy
He pulls you in late game, their team is done for days.
VS
Cho'Gath
Easy
Later on, your W will just shred through him.
VS
Elise
Hard
Don't fight her early on, she can easily 1v1 you. Just farm safely. She recently has gotten buffs and got more dangerous. Care on her. As soon as you get more tanks, she will be less of a threat to you
VS
Evelynn
Easy
She is really weak since S5...
VS
Fiddlesticks
Easy
You shouldn't be too afraid of be counter jungled. He's weak early on but be careful after he reaches level 6.
VS
Hecarim
Medium
Even if you beat him, he will run away and you can't do anything about it. Just farm early on.
VS
Jarvan IV
Hard
Don't 1v1 him early on again, he has a good escape even if you do get to beat him.
VS
Jax
Medium
Will counter him late game. Easy-Medium depending against who you're playing.
VS
Kha'Zix
Medium
After his nerfs, he's ok. Just watch out early on for counter jungling.
VS
Lee Sin
Hard
The most annoying matchup! You will probably get counter jungled depending against which Lee Sin player you're going against. I always start red just to fuck with his mind.
VS
Malphite
Easy
You shouldn't be scared for him to invade your jungle. You can chill.
VS
Maokai
Medium
He can be trouble at times but early on, he's like a weaker version of you. You'll have about the same clear times.
VS
Master Yi
Medium
Since he has lost his 
he won't be AFK farming in his jungle that much. But what might happen is that he will counter jungle you with 
or whatever he builds. This item still, however, has a stacking system and getting kills still grants him double stacks or whatever.
VS
Nautilus
Easy
Almost the same version of you. Don't be scared to be counter jungled. Late Team Fights (TFs) watch out for his ult on one of your adcs!
VS
Nocturne
Medium
Don't fight him 1v1 early game. He can beat you.
VS
Nunu
Hard
He basically has 2x smite. A good Nunu will probably counter you the whole time. Know where he is and buy 
against him!
VS
Pantheon
Hard
Annoying af, his early game presence is just annoying. Be careful, never be too low in your jungle.
VS
Rammus
Easy
Don't worry about anything.
VS
Rengar
Medium
He can be annoying to everyone after 6. Be careful when he's ganking lanes. Make the right decisions.
VS
Sejuani
Hard
She became really strong these last few patches... She would be rather a medium-hard since she is very similar to Amumu
VS
Shyvana
Medium
She's useless pre 6, so that that to your advantage.
VS
Skarner
Easy
Who even plays him?
VS
Udyr
Hard
He will win fights early on. Even if he loses, he will spam his E and get away. Annoying matchup. He will probably spend lots of time in the jungle because of his new jungle item aka or whatever.
VS
Vi
Medium
She can be extremely annoying. Don't fight her early game. Late game she's nothing against you. Medium- hard
VS
Warwick
Medium
Since patch 4.20 (Blaze it), he has good sustain early on. He will out cs you early on but he won't cause too much nowadatsBuy these: 
!
VS
Wukong
Medium
Can be annoying.
VS
Xin Zhao
Hard
Can kill you pretty much any time he wants. After around level 9, you'll start and come back a bit in the game. Buy a 
!
VS
Zac
Easy
LOL. But don't fight him early levels, he has his passive. Don't forget you can his passive blobs.
Here comes TankMumu! About me (and Amumu) Back to Top
Hey there, DirMax here. I've been playing Amumu since almost the start of my league of legends which is about 3 years ago and I can say, I LOVE HIM! My favourite role is in the Jungle and as well to top. Out of all junglers, I'd mostly pick Amumu as he is just a MONSTER late game. If you get a team with a good synergy, even though you're losing early but make it to late game, you'll when most team fights.
PROS:
CONS:
Jungle Route Back to Top
In game, In jungle. Back to Top
What you want to do early game (Pre 6)
I'd start red so that he doesn't steal it(but theres a lower chance so continue as normal)). After your first buff ( probably Blue Buff), you'd have to go toward red buff. If you're not scared of being counter jungled, then go wolves -> next buff. If your smite is still on cd (say 15-20sec), then go wolves then red. Don't forget to use your 
in between clears!! What you want to do Mid game (After 6->16)
What you want to do Late game (16-18)
ult engage. They will have such a small timeframe to think. As you're tanky, protect your team, ROAM with your team, don't let anyone solo push top while your team is mid. And another thing, know when to smite baron/dragon!Amumu Tips & Tricks (Ganking and stuff) Back to Top
- During a gank, try to run up to the ennemy a bit closer, they will try and juke your shot, but hold on to it until the moment feels right. If they fail at juking, good job, you can chilling smite them too.
or doesn't use mana, don't give your blue buff to them. They don't need it as much as you do. Besides, you're here to carry, not them ;) ULT -> Q to stun them even longer. After 6, ganking bot is really good as you probably can get them both.
. This will make ganking 10x easier. While running to your desired bush, before even entering the wards Line of Sight (LoS), use red trinket to disable the ward. Headbutt that shit and proceed to gank.Synergies Back to Top
-> These guys all have either a root or a stun. They will make your job so much easier while ganking.
-> Some of these guys can stun/ root and as well have a good follow up to your ult. 
: Miss Fortune would fit in in this 'Wombo Combo' but she is weak in this meta. Vayne is much more better when going against the tanky meta.
: His AOE ult and Q (Buckshot) can shred through many. A good ADC.
: Also quite good although she might get focused down. You go in, ULT, she goes in to deal TONS of damage.
: Probably the best mid laner you can get. You ULT in with her ball on you, and she follows up with her ULT.
: Depending on what lane he's in, if he's AP he can fuck shit up as well. He can follow after you and use .
: Basically, you ULT in and he ULTs in as well. 
: If he has his ult in your ult radius, he can deal tons of AOE damage.Team Wombo-Combos Back to Top

/ (pick any)+(supp such as )
or (put ball on malph before engage then ult) is always nice.
Last few words... Back to Top
So this is my first ever guide created. I put in a LOT of time in this and will try and keep updating it. If you guys have any questions just ask. If you guys want me to add another section, just tell me. I might not be the highest in divisions (since my ping is really high where I live in comparison to Europe), but what I can say is that over the past 3 years that I have been playing Amumu (main), I have gathered lots of info on this little guy and wanted to share my thoughts and tactics on him. Thanks for the understanding!! Hope you have the best of days with him! :D
