Xin Zhao
Level 2 engagements against Amumu as Xin Zhao almost always yield success. Xin’s base stats at early levels are far better than Amumu’s. Invade and counter-jungle as much as time warrants.
Lee Sin
Try to counter-jungle Amumu as soon as possible, if you meet Amumu in the jungle attempt to kill him. This sets him back. That way he can’t gank soon enough to help his other lanes out.
Shyvana
Try to counter-jungle Amumu a lot since he can’t really kill Shyvana in a 1v1. However, make sure you have enough vision to do so otherwise his team can join in and help defeat you.

Tips For Playing Against Amumu
- Be sure not to group up when Amumu has his AOE CC ultimate. More than likely, his summoner will go all in with his Q with his W activated. Root everyone with his ult and use his E to deal more damage.
- Use ranged attacks to kite Amumu while you try to avoid all of his AoE Damage.
- If you can, invade his jungle and steal his blue buff, Amumu consumes a lot of mana while clearing at early levels, so he won’t have enough mana to gank or farm.
- Ward well to avoid Amumu’s ganks. If you can dodge his Q, the bandage toss is his gap closer, he has no way of effectively ganking.
