Kayn vs Amumu Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Kayn, the Shadow Reaper, meets Amumu, the Sad Mummy, in the jungle. The sample behind this page is 784 games from patch 16.13.1, and Kayn wins 54.6% of them. A 4.6-point edge is what puts this matchup in Kayn’s column.
Tantrum (E) is the ability Kayn has to respect, just as Amumu plays around Reaping Slash. Umbral Trespass and Curse of the Sad Mummy are the two buttons that end the exchange outright.
With both sitting in melee range (175 against 125), neither side gets a free poke pattern.
Amumu answers in magic damage where Kayn deals physical, so neither can copy the other’s build. Kayn carries 655 base health to Amumu’s 685, and 38 armour to 33. 5 armour of separation tilts level-one trades toward Kayn. Scaling matters as well: Kayn ends on 2406 HP, Amumu on 2283. Kayn also hits harder before items — 68 AD to 57. Kayn covers ground faster from level one (340 against 335).
Difficulty ratings read 8/10 and 3/10, with Kayn on the harder end — worth weighing before trusting the percentage. Behind 54.6% are 784 games against Amumu, not a handful of anecdotes. This matchup rebuilds from live ranked data each cycle.
