Rell vs Amumu Counter Pick

Rell is built to steal resistances and Amumu is built to make resistances irrelevant. Break the Mold takes Armor and Magic Resist on hit, which is real value against most opponents, but Cursed Touch answers it by causing cursed targets to take bonus true damage from every source of incoming magic damage. Against a champion who carries 28 base magic resistance and only 98 armor at level 18, that conversion bites deep.

The support lane goes to Amumu, with Rell at 46.7% across 122 games on patch 16.13.1. Despair drains a percentage of maximum health per second from everything nearby, so her 2,388 health at level 18 is not protection but fuel. Bandage Toss also gives him the longer-ranged engage, and his stun arrives before her 175 attack range becomes relevant.

Her route back is the crowd control chain itself. Shattering Strike stuns in a line and breaks shields, Ferromancy: Crash Down knocks up while granting a large shield, and Magnet Storm pulls and then repeatedly drags nearby enemies inward — enough to hold Amumu still while a carry removes him. The limitation is mobility: 315 base move speed is among the slowest in the game, and Full Tilt’s ramping speed needs time to build before it helps. Details on the opponent: Amumu.
