Why is Amumu Considered a "Trash Tier" Jungler?

I've recently just started maining Amumu and have climbed from Silver I to Gold II in the span of three days with a winrate of over 70%. It's super easy to secure objectives with him, he has really fast clears after his first set, he counters a lot of the meta picks such as Jax, Nasus, Lucian, and Ahri, and he's also really great at stealing objectives/setting up aces with his ult. I've been able to cheese 20 min barons with just my top laner since the enemy team never suspects it, and I always get the rift herald in every game I play. Amumu just seems like an all around good pick and not deserving of "Trash Tier"; if anything he should at least be B tier due to his early vulnerability. But that's easy to workaround too as long as you keep vision in your own jungle; I for one always ask my top laner to ward whatever buff I'm not starting and then if I see the enemy Jungler in my jungle, I just go to his side and steal his buff.

He's fairly telegraphed and doesn't have much outside of Q to engage with so y'know.

  1. Super easy to bully early game.
  2. Super reliant on Blue buff
  3. Easy to dodge skill shot as only way to engage

But at your rank how good or bad a champions design is doesn't really matter.

Because he has a bad early and gets invaded easily But later in he's fine His q is pretty dodge-able but his ult engage is good as always in fights

mostly because if you have someone who is better then you in jungle, you'll lose. weak early,telegraphed engage outside of flash ult, and after he blows his load he is a walking stat machine who can be ignored by anyone with lifesteal and a maw

Because if the enemy picks Udyr you'll be reported.

That and Riot nerfed the hell out of his R radius years ago. Could almost stun the entire computer screen. Back then Amumu was one scary guy. Also the jungle defense items were a ton stronger back then too.

It could be that you're just a better Jungler then your opponents.
