Why is Righteous Glory a good rush item after Cinderhulk?

Is running towards the enemy quickly really that useful early game? item 3143 +500 health +70 armor Passive UNIQUE PASSIVE – COLD STEEL: When hit by basic attacks, reduces the attacker's attack speed by 15% for 1 second. Active UNIQUE ACTIVE: Slows the movement speed of nearby enemy units by 35% for 2 (+ 0.5% armor) (+ 0.5% magic resistance) seconds. 60 second cooldown (500 Range). 2850 Gold

item 3800 +600 health +300 mana +100% health regeneration Passive UNIQUE PASSIVE – VALOR'S REWARD: On leveling up, restores 150 health and 200 mana over 8 seconds. Active UNIQUE ACTIVE: Grants +60% Movement Speed to you and nearby allies when moving towards enemies for 3 seconds. When this speed boost ends, it emits a shockwave, slowing nearby enemy champions by 80% for one second. 60 second cooldown. 2500 Gold

For 350 gold you gain armour and attack speed reduction and lose 300 Mana, 100 health and ( Active UNIQUE ACTIVE: Grants +60% Movement Speed to you and nearby allies when moving towards enemies for 3 seconds. When this speed boost ends, it emits a shockwave, slowing nearby enemy champions by 80% for one second.

For champions like my main Amumu I don't find the need to run up to the enemy necessary and I tend to rush item 3110 because the CDR is crucial for the early game ganks and teamfights. I know the META is health but I find item 3800 a weak first item after cinderhulk.

There is no such thing as a meta, it is simply what works, and lately I am really getting sick of the players who think there has to be a specific meta followed when it comes to champions or items its simply what works, and those players who choose to argue, and be toxic because they can't accept (No) for an answer or (Rage) over a non meta often leads to more loss.

I don't see the problem with rushing item 3110 first it really depends on the situation, as well as your team FH actually benefits your team more if your team knows how to play together rather than argue, especially in games where there are attack speed champions like Jinx.

item 3709 item 3110 item 3001 item 3075 item 3111 item 3800 Is my normal build for Amumu and I am often told to build health earlier but I really don't care to as this is what has worked for my for 15 ranked tiers and I have no reason to alter it now. It may not be ideal but it's what works for me and I wish more people understood this.

How do you survive? Your EH is much lower than if you were to replace frozen heart with item 3083 or item 3143 , but if you want the CDR then I'd replace the abyssal with item 3102 .

Amumu doesn't really have a heal though. Maybe they meant item 3190?

because no one has armour pen/mr pen early game and the overwhelming amount of armour and loads of health just makes me a deceiving little tank shell

its broken as shit honestly.

On champions that require a gap closer x2 and have a hard CC like on reksai or any support with lock down hard CC its exstremely broken. Even on a melee carry its op as shit. Yi with rightous coming at you with a zilean on his team is just retarded. Seen the yi+ zilean rightous glory on zil as his second item combo a few times on KR/LAN and my god is it annoying to deal with.

It depends on the champion honestly. For those that need gap closers or lack mobility, its incredibly broken. Champions like Darius benefit so much from it. I wouldn't see its a good rush for Mumu since he should be closing the gaps with bandage toss, but other junglers it does work extremely well. I've had some amazing success rushing Righteous Glory after Cinder with Maokai and Cho'Gath. And Skarner...oh boy Skarner loves that Righteous Glory.

item 3800 Is a really strong item in general, both omens and FH can be bought first, but HP is generally more efficient in the early game. Not to meantion, it has a Sivir ulti and the item 3143 slow with the active. Extra mana is really good on junglers too that need it.

I'm going to cry. I've lost all faith in NA. People seriously think rushing a NON health item after cinder is the best idea.

Omg... We're doomed.

You build item 3800 when your team has a strong chance of winning fights if you can make the other team have to fight. Until then it is better to focus on items that give better combat stats so you can win fights.
