Welcome to the League Of Science!
Where we will keep you updated with all the math behind League of Legends. We will give you an overview of the current best builds (backed up by formulas) and if you have any League related questions, feel free to ask and we'll settle them ASAP, all to help you get up in the ranks!
Today we will be looking at Amumu support!
Why Amumu support?
Though typically considered an unconventional support, Amumu support was seen in the Battle of the Atlantic during the match of Gambit Gaming vs XDG, and also showed up recently in the NA LCS.
When to pick Amumu support:
The play style of Amumu support is largely similar to that of Leona support. You pick Amumu when you're feeling like you want to play Leona, but Leona is either banned or the enemy already picked her or you hate Leona. Personally, from the way I play Amumu support, I believe he is a lot more fun than Leona support, but why don't you be the judge?
Who goes well with Amumu support?
Since Amumu plays out like Leona, I would go ahead and say that anyone who works well with Leona should work well with Amumu. Check out all the synergy and counters on this chart. Amumu isn't all that great early on, but scales considerably well into the late game. Along with a strong adc, they become an unstoppable force late into the game.
What abilities do I rank up on Amumu support?
Start level 1 with your E, unless you are either invading or feel like the stun would be more useful, then go ahead and level your Q. With every rank of your E, any physical damage Amumu takes gets reduced by a small amount. Ranking up your E is what's going to help you stay in lane longer and win those trades when an opportunity calls for it. However, every rank of your E increases the damage of Tantrum by 25, whereas every rank of your Q increases the damage of Bandage Toss by 50. If you are thinking you are going to consistently be harassing with your Q (Bandage Toss) and successfully landing most of them, while coming out every time virtually unharmed, then yes go ahead and rank your Q. But, if this is not the case, my suggestion would be to rank up your E and play it safe.

What masteries do I get?
The typical melee support masteries
Or the hardcore AP build is always fun
What items do I get on Amumu support?
The typical build for virtually any support can be found here on this chart. However, when I play Amumu support, I like to have fun and just completely demolish my enemies out of nowhere. By "out of nowhere," I mean that the enemy won't even see it coming! This is what I like to build when playing Amumu support:
Start the game off with Relic shield, pot(s), ward, and trinket.
On your first back, depending on how much money you have, grab either a Ruby Crystal or Sightstone and pots
Don't forget your boots!
Your first "big" item should be a Haunting Guise
Sorcerer's Shoes for more damage!
Liandry's Torment OP!
Sell that Relic Shield and go for a Frost Queen's Claim
Abyssal Scepter if the enemy team has a lot of AP damage
Sunfire Cape if the enemy team has a lot of AD damage
Rylai's Crystal Scepter, if you don't want to settle with just armor or mr
Last but not least! Distortion boots. Amumu flash ults are OP!
Ruby Sightstone FTW!
