Can we consider Amumu at one of the most powerfull beings in Runeterra?

As the video shows, Amumu kills life form he touches/ is close to and he can create a crack in the sky using his ult. Might he be as strong as Syndra at least?

I'm pretty sure that stuff dying around him is just to emphasize how sad/lonely he is. As you can see at 1:50, he looks like he's trying to make friends with the pink flower, but it withers in response which is basically a plant version of someone walking away from you. When it withers, it's not like the other plants around him die like that too.

but i havent even read his lore lmao

Actually everything in that scene withers at Amumu's presence at a much slower rate, particularly the ferns. Amumu's curse is fairly potent.

Amumus curse withering away everything he touches is indeed canon. His updated lore mentions how he touches the arm of a guy and the arm starts to decay(it is implied that he had to cut off the arm to survive)

Some also believed that the illness that affected Nasus before he became an ascended was actually caused by amumus touch.

Since the curse can kill anyone/anything near him, im pretty sure that he may be even more powerfull than Syndra or even Xerath (technically)... Heck, not even death itself want to be near him.

Now the question is if the Curse can affect undeads as well... I guess that it can.

You know, after reading the Kindred quote, I have to wonder just how powerful the curse is. Plus, based on the music video, the curse itself is sentient. Does this mean Amumu's curse COULD be an evil celestial being with power greater to or equivalent to Aurelion Sol or Kindred?

I mean, just think about that quote. WOLF, the one who literally lives (or whatever) to chase down people who escape death (like Amumu) is telling Amumu to STAY AWAY! What does that say?

If the illness that affected Nasus was Amumu's curse, it means his curse is not invincible and something like Ascension can cure it. Riot said Ascended may be immune to curse of Amumu. Even they're not, I dont think Xerath would be affected since he is pure arcane energy, which means he has nothing to decay.

Also, while I give so little chance to Amumu's curse about being more powerful than Xerath, let's say it is. He is still not technically more powerful. It is curse, not Amumu.

Xerath is also much more destructive.

He/It is more powerful than Syndra though.

{quoted} He/It is more powerful than Syndra though.

No. Syndra wouldn't even need to be near him to throw a castle at his ass. Don't even go there.

He is definetly powerful(it looks like he destroyed the whole town in a fit of rage),but its also clear that he has little control over his powers,so it could be possible for certain mages to shut him down before he can reach them.

Also who knows if his touch actually affects non-living things or undeads,they might be immune to it.

Amumu kills every organic thing he touches. Amumu's power in comparison to other champions mainly comes down to "Does this also apply to inorganic, yet sentient beings?"
