Guide to Countering Master Yi as Amumu

Tips for Playing as Amumu against Master Yi

Despair is very effective against other tanks, so make sure you're in range of opponents with the highest Health.

Amumu is highly dependent on teammates, so try laning with your friends for maximum effectiveness.

Cooldown Reduction on Amumu is very strong, but it's often difficult to itemize for it. Grab the Golem buff whenever possible to gain Cooldown Reduction without sacrificing stats.

Advice to Win Against Master Yi

If Master Yi tries to farm with Alpha Strike, hit him a few times so he has to use mana with Meditate to heal.

Although Master Yi cannot be slowed while using Highlander, other disables can stop him in his tracks.

Meditate is an effective method of healing damage over time, but Master Yi is susceptible to coordinated team ganks early in the game.
