Piece of cake to some, nightmares to others. Let's talk about Amumu
, the sad mummy.
The main problem of amumu is that he doesn't really require any mechanical skill, since 3 of his skills are skills that don't need to be targeted, you just press a button and something happens. There are only two spells that are good on him, his Bandage toss and his Tantrum, because both suit a purpose which is very simple: Go in, dish out damage, take damage, dish out more damage. But his Despair is vital too because without it, he would be a quite bad jungler.
The changes that should be done to Amumu in my opinion:
-
Change his ult to something with the same impact, but more awesome and more skillful. For example: Guardians of Shurima: Amumu raises two sand giants from the ground. The giants have 75% of Amumus health, ability power, attack damage, movement speed, attack speed, armor and magic resist. The giants have basic attacks that have splash damage and a brief slow. The attacks damage from both attack damage and ability power. While the giants are alive, Amumu is unable to move but takes 50% less damage. When the giants die, the effect ends. So, in this way, after you cast your ultimate with amumu, you are still relevant.
-
Change his passive to something more relevant, because to be honest, in the current state of amumu you don't focus on autoattacking someone in a middle of a brawl. For example: The power of sorrow: Everytime a friendly unit dies nearly amumu, he gains a 20% bonus movement speed and a 20/35/50 (level 1/7/13) ability power that decays over 2 seconds. If the died unit is a friendly champion, Amumu gains a 50% burst of speed and 50/100/150 (level 1/7/13) ability power that decays over 5 seconds. This would make Amumu a nice teamfighter, and it's a surprising tool when you gank, they kill your buddy, and then you charge at them with some bonus ap... It should feel good.
Comment if you would like to share your own ideas (or if you just want to hate on me). Next time i will take on Anivia
, the cryophoenix.
And as always, best of luck on the Fields of Justice.
