That Amumu buff was incredibly ill-conceived.

Turning him into an aoe true damage machine that can share that true damage with allies while he's already highly durable with great cc was simply a terrible idea. Both his winrate and playrate spiked several percent within days of the patch hitting. Normally a large increase in playrate comes with a decrease in winrate as it means more inexperienced players are picking up the Champion. When both jump up at the same time, it means the buff was just a terrible idea. Especially considering Amumu wasn't "suffering" like Riot seemed to think he was in the patch notes. This buff was way off base and is entirely too strong.

"What buff?" You're joking right? The buff where he makes all magic damage, including his own, do 15% bonus true damage on top. The buff that made his winrate AND playrate both jump up 6% in 3 days.

You mean 10%? And that's his passive. Everybody has a passive. Should we take away Zac's passive?

That isn't an argument. Everybody has a passive; not everybody's passive does something stupid and OP. Amumu had a passive before, and it was fine. They changed it to this, now he's op. The numbers don't lie.

And I haven't been. He's suddenly become much more popular, as well as winning much more. That shouldn't happen.

the damage is neat. no fight ever lasts long enough for his true damage to be the reason why he won it. if he does its the ult. just calm down nancy. there is a pbe nerf anyway but amumu needed something to duel people.

Not only did he not need to be able to duel people, since dueling isn't his job, I've seen him (earlier today actually) 1v1 a Kha'Zix, while isolated, and win handily. The damage is a lot, and utterly unnecessary. But hey, insult people more. Maybe it'll make you sound right.
