Silver Amumu main having trouble dealing with fed vaynes

Barkley··1 votes·342 views

Hey guys!

I'm a jungle main, and I love amumu. He's basically the only champ I play, and honestly one of my favorite video game characters ever. I know he's not "in-meta" right now but I really have fun playing him. I'm silver 1 right now with a 60% win rate, maxed out at gold 3 this season so far, then hit a bit of a slump. Just didn't have time to play for a while because of school, and just now getting back into it. I'm on the rise, hopefully I'll be able to hit gold again. Maybe even platinum.

One champion I have had trouble with since I can remember is vayne. Especially if she gets fed. The issues that I have with her is that I really have a hard time sticking to her or getting her in my ultimate because she simply condemns me away or tumbles or both. The other problem is that, while I'm tanky enough to sustain damage from almost any champion in the game, it seems like vayne just melts me like a hot knife through butter.

Other than just banning her every game, which I've strongly considered, are there any strategies that you can recommend for dealing with a hyper-fed vayne as amumu? Any itemization choices or strategies that might help me deal with this? Are there any ADC champions that combo well with amumu specifically to handle a vayne (My duo buddy always plays adc, usually tristana).

I could obviously just ban her, but I'd rather learn to play against her and win. Any and all suggestions would be helpful!

Idk, from what I read she's getting buffed in some places and nerfed in others. Part of what makes her so slippery is her ult, and now she gets a reset on it. That's gonna suck. They increased the damage on her Q, but took away the crit - which amounts to more consistent damage output in my mind. Her true damage got hit early on, but will likely feel the same later in the game - which I feel is the absolute BIGGEST problem.

I don't think they're really nerfing her into the ground as much as leveling out her early game trades and making her damage less unpredictable. I think the increased Q damage is gonna suck, personally, and they did virtually nothing to her true damage. Also, imagine a vayne ult lasting 20 seconds through a team fight through resets... That's pretty powerful.

If we weighed the pros against the cons in her upcoming changes, I'd almost be tempted to say shes getting buffed, but that's just my opinion.

Nothing much you can do except try to catch her (it's hard) and hope your assassin/mage can 1 shot her before she 1 shots them. Same thing for all squishies tbh. That's pretty much the only thing you can do lategame anyway, unless you're going glass cannon AP, then land that Q and delete her.

CC chains are generic but always work if successful.
