I Disagree With Amumu's Ult Being Affected By Tenacity (Patch 6.1) (Long Post)

Patch 6.1 notes

For those not in the loop, 'disarms' are abilities that remove a player's ability to basic attack. While most cc does this (because you can't move period), Lulu's Whimsy and Amumu's Curse of the Sad Mummy are unique in that they either let you still move (in Lulu's case), or they let you cast spells (in Amumu's). So we're calling them disarms. And now they're affected by Tenacity.

Hi, I'm a 2 year Amumu main and as alot of us know Amumu has been in a pretty good spot for the past 3 years, he's strong but not over bearing and has some good solid flaws which the enemy team can use against him. In my eye this makes him pretty healthy overall since he has a very vulnerable early game -> decent mid game -> Very strong late game.

His ult currently Entangles the enemies and disables their ability to auto attack and move but not cast spells. In my opinion this is one of the fairest AOE ults since it actually allows the enemy players to react during the CC duration unlike Sejuani (Stun) Malphite (Knockup) Galio (Taunt) MonkeyKing(Knock up) Zyra (Knock Up) . Out of all of these only Amumu ult allows you to cast item 3157 and spells which of course leads to quite a bit of counterplay. Ofcourse we all know about item 3140 summoner 1 .

Implementing the change to make his Ult affected by Tenacity will be a pretty significant nerf to Amumu since unlike Sejuani (as I said above) his ult does not stop spell casts so essentially with the item 3111 + the swiftness mastery (35% Tenacity total) this means that Amumu will have a 1.3 second entangle as opposed to 2 seconds and people can still cast spells during the duration so that's yet another draw back for his peeling ability that is already weaker than most other AOE's interms of CC type. This is basically the equivalent of knock ups being reduced by tenacity and expecting Malphite MonkeyKing Zyra to be fine with that and stay the same.

I propose that Amumu ultimate either becomes a stun so that it no longer has the draw back of having people being able to cast within it or simply leaving Amumu's "entangle" unaffected by tenacity since he is literally the only champion with this unique ability. I know a lot will disagree with me since you think I am exaggerating the impact this will have, since only really tanks buy item 3111 or take the tenacity mastery. But, please remember that alot of what Amumu has to do is peel and those 0.7 seconds makes all the difference during a team fight when you manage to peel a tank off your carries.

TL;DR Amumu's Ult is fine and should not be affected by tenacity or it should be compensated by becoming a more reliable form of CC like a stun.

➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢ **Fun Facts **➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢➢ ➢ **Amumu is one of the few CC champions that does not have a knockup that counters Irelia . That's due to his ultimate not being affected by tenacity otherwise it would be be a 0.5 second snare instead of 2 seconds against a 75 %Tenacity Irelia **

➢** Katarina's Death Lotus and all other spells that channel are not stopped by Amumu Curse Of The Sad Mummy.**

➢ item 3110 Procs item 3151 double damage.

➢ item 3047 Plus Maxed E nearly allows Amumu to take no damage from jungle monsters( Throw in Tough Skin Mastery =D)

Butthurt? I sincerely doubt you even read what I said if that's what you get from it. I am sharing my opinion in a calm and civil manner no need to be childish =).

Sounds like that butt is so hurt it requires some bandages to... wrap it up. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Now it's your turn to ride the nerf slide.

I don't like this attitude people seem to have on occasion.

Just because you've faced misfortune doesn't mean you should wish it on others. And that goes beyond just League.

It comes off as petty, to be honest.
