I used to believe that was the most broken champion on the game, but I realized that this isn't true and that there are many champions much more worthy of banning than Amumu, such as, , , and even.

Surely Amumu is amazing on teamfights, but that is only really true with the correct team composition. When I see someone using Amumu, I almost always instalock champions like, , , , , and. I actually instalock Vladimir 90% time they pick Amumu if there is mid lane or top lane avaliable. This is because all these champs have a lot of AoE damage that works well with Amumu's ultimate and allow my team to straight up win teamfights. Amumu does not work well, however, with champions that don't have AoE ultimates or have a kit more suited to pick off single targets instead of doing damage to many of them. That's why I avoid picking champions like and. Amumu also dislikes champions that have AoE ultimates that SEPARATE enemies, ex:, ,

Sadly, many people on SoloQ do not think like me when they pick champions; they generally tend to not think on awesome combinations, they instead just pick what they want to use without first thinking if these champions would work well with the other champions that were already picked. I've battled on teams where my top laner picked Xin Zhao, even though I was Morgana and there was an Amumu on my team. The result was that Xin Zhao always throwed the enemies out of my ultimate, and we lost the battle.

Amumu is amazing, but he is very dependent from the teammates. I would not say that Amumu is a SoloQ monster, I actually think otherwise, he needs communication from your teammates to suceed, he is powerful but like any other champion, he will NOT carry alone if your team is dumb and the enemy team is at least half-smart.
