Amumu Mid and Late Game

What Amumu does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.

Play to these strengths

Amumu brings crowd control (percentile 80): start the fight or follow up on a teammate's engage.
Amumu wins 33.3 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.

Mistakes to avoid

Amumu falls behind in CS (8/100): last-hit the waves you can, items still matter.
Amumu is not a damage carry (16/100): don't take fights expecting Amumu to win them alone.

Playing Amumu

Amumu is highly dependent on teammates, so try laning with your friends for maximum effectiveness.
Cooldown Reduction on Amumu is very strong, but it's often difficult to itemize for it. Grab the Golem buff whenever possible to gain Cooldown Reduction without sacrificing stats.
Despair is very effective against other tanks, so make sure you're in range of opponents with the highest Health.

Playing Against Amumu

Avoid bunching up with other allies when Amumu has his ultimate available.
Erratic movement, or hiding behind creep waves can make it difficult for Amumu to instigate a fight with Bandage Toss.
Amumu's Despair makes purchasing primarily Health items a risky proposition.
