Playing as Amumu
Tips to maximize your impact
- Save your second bandage
Save a charge of Bandage Toss (Q) after your engage: the spell has two, and the second catches an enemy who escapes with a dash or Flash.
- Wait until your R can hit several
Wait until several enemies are in range to cast Curse of the Sad Mummy (R): it stuns every enemy around you and curses them.
- Burn tanks with Despair
Keep Despair (W) on against tanks: every second, it deals a percentage of their max health to nearby enemies.
- Full clear, then gank
Full clear with Despair (W) and Tantrum (E), then gank: both hit every nearby monster, and Tantrum's cooldown drops when you get hit.
Playing against Blitzcrank
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Rocket Grab (Q) catches the first enemy hit, so one minion is enough to block it.
- Step up after a missed grab
Step up when Rocket Grab (Q) misses you: it has a 20 to 16 second cooldown, and without it he has to walk up to you with Overdrive (W).
- Respect his level 2
Once he hits level 2, don't push far from your tower without vision of his brushes: Rocket Grab (Q) into Power Fist (E) knocks you into the air among his allies.
- Take the grab for your carry
If you're tanky, stand in front of your carry: Rocket Grab (Q) catches the first enemy hit, and it's better if that's you.
- Don't count on a shield
Near him, don't count on a shield: Static Field (R) destroys nearby enemies' shields and silences them.
