Thresh vs Amumu Counter Pick

Amumu’s damage is entirely magic, but Cursed Touch makes him trickier to build against than that suggests. His basic attacks mark a target so that incoming magic damage also brings bonus true damage with it. Facing a support with 30 magic resist and no armor growth of his own, the outcome is 48.2% for Thresh across 442 games on patch 16.13.1.

• Tantrum permanently cuts the physical damage Amumu takes, weakening the attack-damage portion of a mixed build that starts from 56 base attack damage.
• Despair removes a percentage of maximum health each second, which means 2,660 HP at level eighteen can work against him instead of protecting him.
• Bandage Toss stuns and closes distance in a single cast, whereas Death Sentence only drags Thresh forward when it is activated a second time.

Thresh’s edge comes from reach and utility. He operates from 450 units to Amumu’s 125, and moves at 330 while Amumu moves at 335. That small speed gap is offset by Dark Passage, which gives an ally both a shield and a way out. Difficulty is rated 7 for Thresh and 3 for Amumu, so landing a clean Flay into Death Sentence is a skill that rewards practice, and Damnation converts a nearby death into permanent armor and ability power. The even label is accurate: the matchup is decided by who connects first, and Curse of the Sad Mummy is the harder ability to dodge. Everything else about Amumu is listed on his profile.
