Amumu is insanely strong

I just got 1v1d at level 6 in the jungle by an amumu as JAX. We had the same items, he didnt kite me around waiting for cooldowns or any of that shit, he just stood there trading blows with me until I died and he had 300 hp left. Of course dueling isn't supposed to be amumu's forte and he was able to shit on my team almost 1v5 throughout mid game until i got a sated and crapped on them(but thats a different issue). Does amumu really need to do as much damage as he does? he can 100-0 almost anyone at level 6

... I can't even... this post... I can't.

Nope, I've got to. 100-0? He ONE SHOT YOU?!?! Amumu's kit is literally designed around tanking... resisting AA's, and doing % HP DMG per second... if you had no MR... and stood in his tears... you lost because you just didn't play logically.

So is there some way to fight them that DOESNT involve standing in his tears? And yes an amumu with an abyssal scepter can kill any squishy with QEWR before they get free of the cc, i don't know where you've been if you havent seen this.

Amumu has had a winrate at least on the top 5 for years, it's just silly that anyone else who gets to a 55% winrate gets gutted while he gets a free pass because pros dont play him

He counters melee's, you as jax you should have played from behind. If he bandages you, w his face and ward jump out. Hes forced to either let you go, or ult, in which case you can just run away. You tried to 1v1 an obviously built up amumu. Learn how to counter play.

"Obviously built up" did you not read the part where I said we were same items and level? Amumu is an almost entirely aoe based initiating tank who's meant to contribute to games by doing lots of damage to everyone over the course of the fight while cc'ing them. Jax is entirely based on 1v1ing single targets, thats literally what his whole kit is designed for. Amumu should not be able to 1v1 the likes of fiora/jax/tryndamere early game because hes already got so much strength invested in teamfighting.
