On Amumu I believe in CDR boots. The extra CDR makes you clear really fast, and the benefit of more Q and R are self explanatory.

for max cdr amumu i highly recommend glacial early because max rank Q is the main reason you want max cdr (you clear fast with e but thats secondary) and Q burns your mana extremely fast
later on you can upgrade it to IBG also (or FH)

Where do you guys get the mana to be able to max Q first, let alone stack CDR to cast it more often? Do you run mp5 glyphs or something?

yeah if you could just read the post directly above yours
that'd be great
(but ofc you put at least 3 points in e b4 maxing q, mp5 glyphs are worthless, just be smart with mana, get mana pots also)

I read your post, but the 300 mana on Glacial didn't seem enough for me. I'll try the 3 points in E

you dont spam Q to kill jungle creeps, just for travelling across you use 1 maybe.
the 300 max mana is needed for teamfights, where you start at 300 mana more for long teamfights when you dont get a blue from a kill

I usually get at least 3 ranks of E first. Depending how desperate I am to gank I will decide to max Q or E first.

The way I see it, CDR boots + Golem + Frozen Heart = 45%.

FH is not a priority item though. By that point i usually already have 3 other items built. So I can either keep the CDR boots for only 10% CDR or sell it for ninja tabi.

ADC in the early game simply isn't powerful enough (iimo) for early ninja tabi.

if you can get away with buying offensive boots on amumu i don't see why you wouldn't go for the magic penetration

Exactly. CDR -> more damage for most champions; but at the same time, higher CDR brings you higher utility.

yeah but how many ticks of W are you going to get on a target you Q'd? like 3-4? 4 seconds is a lot of time
if you're building squishy already you could easily die in that time

4 seconds of rank 1 W on a 2k hp hp target is like 150 damage or something, its not that high, and thats a real long time

cdr also directly improves the amount of time you are in W range because your Q is a stun+gapcloser

Exactly. CDR gives you more bandages (which does more damage, makes your W do more damage, and makes your team do more damage), more tantrums (which does more damage), and critically -- more ults.

People ban Amumu in low ELO because they're scared of his ult. They're overreacting, but it is a strong part of his kit, and the ability to have that ult up more is never a bad thing.

The real choice I worry about isn't cdr boots vs. mpen boots; it's cdr boots vs. mobis.

I really dislike mobi on Amumu. At least not for me when I usually max E first. I can understand putting it on a champion with strong gank potential, like Lee Sin or Leona, but Amumu's ganks are pretty meh when you don't have red nor R. Amumu's damage is also pretty mediocre for ganks unless you are maxing Q first.

Yeah, I tend to like ninja tabi more (unless I need the magic resist) because I max Q last too.

I'd never get IBG on mummy, ever.

Sotag + Fh + sv are all you need to be obnoxiously tanky.
you can even sunfire + abyssal if you want

you're trading the FH 25 armour and aura and 10% CDR for 30 AP, 100 mana, and the slow
obviously you're investing a lot in the slow but its a massively good slow considering how good amumus gap closer is
