For what it's worth, almost every Amumu I see is going sorcs, Abyssal and Sunfire Cape as their early core. Liandrys is not common in my games, but I could see it being reasonable.

Does Rylai affect his W? If it does, would a Rylai + Liandry item combo be good on him?

It does affect his W, but how good that is is something you need to decide. The problem is that with Rylais + Liandry you spend a lot of money not on getting tanky, and the only way to profit from it is by being so tanky that you can just stand in the enemy team for prolonged periods of time. So, you would probably need to be pretty fed for this to work.

Basically, in my opinion you can either be bursty and not that tanky, or tanky and not bursty. Sustained damage and not tanky does not work well together.

Well Rylai and Liandry would give you 700 health....I don't see how that wouldn't help him get tanky

700 health for 6k gold isn't particularly efficient on tankiness. Even some of the more offensive builds for Amumu, like Sunfire Abyssal, are much tankier than that.

I think getting Rylai's on Amumu is absolutely hilarious. Your W becomes a perm-slow and if your opponent does not have a gapcloser you will be able to tag him infinitely.....

It's just way too expensive =\.

I was wondering about Amumu top and I'm sure some of you have already tried it in S3. I know its pretty troll but I want to try it out.

So how would you rune/mastery/build Amumu top? ROA>Sunfire? CDR?

Amumu top suffered a lot from the removal of the minion damage masteries (and less but still noticeably from the AP ratio nerfs). I haven't been able to make it work consistently, but the runes I'd recommend are mpen or hybrid pen, armor, and armor or CDR for the last two slots.
For items some good options are Sheen, Glacial, Abyssal (don't rush this though unless both teams are heavily magic oriented) and pretty much any pure tank items. Haunting Guise is also a pretty ok first purchase.

For the record, my losses have been to Renekton and Rumble, with a victory over Riven, but the latter was mostly due to my jungler.

I've literally never seen a game where he isn't banned, so I have no idea if he's still good.

amumu still a viable jungler he isnt banned as much at higher elo's. i go wraith, sorc, sunfire, abysmal, and then from there the game dictates where to go. liandrys is good to get if paired up with a singed or someone else with a large aoe slow

So I sat down and started spamming some mumu games recently, and to my surprise i've been doing really well.

I think he is really strong atm in the right comp, since he likes blue buff a bit too much, so manaless or non blue dependent mid is a huge bonus.

In S2 i played him mostly azingy style, sunfire/abyssal and sorcs, but it is really expensive and takes time to get going, so i changed my approach. Spirit of ancient golem and locket, with various boots (mobo or tabis are my favs). Get tanky fast, turret dive all day. Complete with aegis if support didn't rush it, or sunfire otherwise cause it's still f*cking good on mumu. Aby for the lols if you get there

Is the generally accepted skill order still WEQEER then R>E>Q>W? Because i have been going WEQEQR R>Q>E>W to great success. Q max first makes you a monster in midgames skirmishes, even without any dmg items. Your ganks also get that much stronger. Being tanky and having blue does the rest. Even without blue, it is still strong, but i find myself going oom really easily in prolonged teamfights.

As for mumu's early game woes, I find that starting red against the likes of lee/nunu usually lets me get away with most of the farm/xp i need provided they don't invade.

Any thoughts? I really like mumu and would welcome any suggestions to improve on this

I don't know how viable this build is when you're even / losing...

but when you're ahead going Shard of True Ice (you know... that AOE slow item) as a 3rd item is a lot of fun on Amumu.

You know how you can't tantrum without getting out of range... well now you can!

Dunno if it's better than rylais or not but it's certainly cheaper and it gives mana regen which mumu definitely needs and it's much much cheaper.

Pretty sure his bandage toss is glitched right now or has been for a while, watched a Gragas E away from an amumu today, JUST as the animation was finishing amumu E'd where Gragas STARTED his E and it connected. Unsure if its related to the thresh hook on doublelifts stream that went straight through a minion but I also had a ridiculous toss connect the other day and I swear it wasn't hitting.

Well I had Jax jumping away and Shen tauting away... almost anybody can get away even after my Q hitted so dunno if its supposed to be that way or no, I started playing him recently. If its a bug then thank god.
Also I find flask really helpful if ur mid need the blue buffs.

My friend was watching Qtpie stream and says he either got carried by his teammate top Mumu or he got destroyed by a top Mumu on the enemy team.

Either or, I heard he went Seraphs/Sunfire/FH with Sorc boots. That sounds like an absurd amount of damage while still being relatively tanky. Although I imagine you are pretty hamstringed in lane going Tear, and this build probably takes forever.

Meteos has been playing same/similiar style jungle Amumu on his stream. Definitely seems preferable to the traditional tank Amumu atm.

Liandry's + Rylai's + SV + Sunfire makes for a terrifying mummy. The issue is getting there.

I don't really see any reason why you can't pick up at least a a haunting guise early to help your damage though. His AoE aura is deceptively strong.

Amumu mid is really fun to troll with in normals, when one for all was active we played amumu and I got like Rod/Rylais/Abyssal/Liandry's/Void/Sorc and was just blowing fools up lol
