2. Amumu (The Best Initiating Tank in the Game)Passive: Reduces Magic resistance per hit
Summoner Abilities: Heal/Teleport (primary) Smite/Ghost (creeping) Blink/Ghost or Blink/Heal (lane).
Skill BuildQ= Bandage Toss (Long ranged hook-pull ability)
W= Despair (%dmg that drains mana)
E= Tantrum (AoE damage, cooldown reduces one second per time you are hit, also decreases damage taken)
R= Curse of the Sad Mummy (AoE Damage spell that stuns for 3 second dealing damage)
Always level E first. This ability has an extremely strong base damage (275 at level 2). Off level Q, once you have some form of mana regen I would recommend getting one level of W.
This hero is a tank, not a carry and not a caster. Its smart to build an item that gives him base mana not just mana regen. A catalyst is not a bad starting item. If you are not able to land his bandage toss, having blink can help you blink in to a group of creep and heroes and set your ult off.
It is very important that you DO NOT waste R on a single hero past level 10. This will put you at a sever disadvantage in any team fight. He is by far the best initiating hero because he has an ability that allows him to pull himself in to a group.
Some recommended items:
Recommended first item: Regrowth Pendant
Catalyst the Protector - Banshee's Veil
Dodge Boots
Warmogs Armor
Guardian Angel
Thornmail (Or Rylai's Scepter since W, will slow heroes)
Rod of Ages
Your Amumu's bandage toss is one of the most effective aid abilities in the game. If your partner is running away from someone a quick pull in to them will ensure that they get away since it come with a stun.
Managing W correctly is very important. Do not leave this ability on if there are no heroes around. It will drain your mana.
When aiming Q, aim slightly ahead of the hero. This ability is notorious for flying off the side and behind the hero. It does hit creep and can be hard to aim.
