    Curse of the Sad Mummy stops Yi in teamfights, and Amumu's magic damage ignores Yi's armor items.

  3. Kha'Zix

How to counter Amumu

  1. Invade his first clear; he is slow and weak before level three.

  2. Spread out in teamfights so Curse of the Sad Mummy cannot stun everyone.

  3. Dodge Bandage Toss: before level six it is his only engage.

  4. Fight him in the side lanes rather than in grouped teamfights, where his ultimate shines.
