In League of Legends you will have a lot of champions to choose from. You’re going to suck with some of them, others you’ll be inconsistent with, and sometimes your success depends on what your enemy setup looks like. Eventually you find that one champion that you play very well with, and the sad little mummy is that champion for me.
He’s not a great laner, but he jungles very well. I find that Jungling in the early game is always a more effective means to collect gold than laning, and is the only way I play Amumu. Your ult gives you the ability to effectively gank a lane, eventhough it’s not your specialty. Another reason why I love this champ is that all of his damage is aoe, and he has 2 stuns which make him deadly in team fights and mid to late game creep kills. He’s a very fast champion to gear up.
The only downside is I see more enemy teams jungling nowadays, and it’s very hard to hold a jungle if the opposing team tries to gank you. If this happens, it really knocks you off your game.
