Amumu is so strong to the point where whenever I see a Amumu on the enemy team I often just say to myself "GG, The rare amumu main has arrived and is going to land that game changing 40 minute ult that wrecks my entire team"
Facts about low elo solo q are the following
-Games will almost always hit late game
-People have no clue how to play with early game champions
-Guiding your teamates to win with a lead, especially low elo ones, is like pulling teethe with your bare hands
That's why late game champions like amumu, vayne, maoki, Fiora, and Ryze are some of the best champions to gain elo with. They are just champions that allow you to completely 1 v 5 in the late game. And well, unless you are a absolute God on a early game champion, why bother taking the risk of getting out scaled, when you can simply play the scaling game yourself and do it better?
