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 LeBlanc
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Break her chain
As soon as Ethereal Chains (E) tethers you, move away from her: if you stay chained for 1.5 seconds, you're rooted and take extra damage.
- Trade after her Distortion
Trade while Distortion (W) is on cooldown: it's her dash both to get in and to get out, and it comes back in 15 to 10 seconds.
- Save your protection for her burst
If you have a shield or a heal, save it for her combo: Sigil of Malice (Q) detonates as soon as another spell hits you, and all her damage lands at once.
- Aim at her return point
If you have CC, aim at the starting point of her Distortion (W): within 4 seconds, she can return there by recasting the spell.
- Don't hit the wrong LeBlanc
When she drops below 40% health, find the real LeBlanc before hitting: Mirror Image (passive) makes her invisible for 1 second and leaves a copy that deals no damage.
