How to Play with Poppy as Amumu in LoL

The Amumu Poppy synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Poppy, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Amumu sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Poppy. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Poppy helps Amumu perform not as well in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Amumu tries to synergize with Poppy, he observes a barely noticable drop in his total damage dealt. This may indicate that Poppy doesn't help cover for him to deal more damage or that her support also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Amumu is played with Poppy on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Poppy.

Additionally, when Amumu plays with Poppy on the same side, he often receives less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could indicate that Poppy does a decent job of protecting Amumu during teamfights.

Is Amumu better when played alongside Poppy?

There is no one best ally for Amumu that will always be his top ally. However, Poppy is a good ally for Amumu. By being on the same team as Amumu, she improves their win rate by 2.3% to 51.3%. This demonstrates that there is pretty good bond between Amumu and Poppy that results in them performing better together than without each other.

Poppy has a greater difficulty than Amumu. That means Amumu players must be very careful when lining up Poppy teammates to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide utility and CC for your side. Together, these two should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

In contrast, by aligning Amumu and Poppy together, you may not be providing your other allies a great deal of anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you have other champs on your team that fills this relative hole in their potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Poppy teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
