Zed into Amumumedium

Overview

Use your faster clear and high mobility to pressure Amumu's slower, controlled jungle path early.
Prioritize river Scuttle control to limit Amumu's gank angles and objective setups.
Snowball early invades and counter-ganks before Amumu hits his tanky teamfight power spike.

Path for a fast three-camp clear then invade Amumu's jungle when lanes can follow and he is on opposite side.
Contest Scuttle only with lane priority and vision control to enable counter-ganks and deny Amumu's setups.
Use superior mobility to counter-gank Amumu's early ganks, force him off camps, and snowball lane priority for objectives.

Avoid early river fights before level 3 when Amumu's and crowd control threaten all-ins.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or objectives without lane priority, as Amumu can engage and lockdown with his abilities.
Low-health clears expose you to forced smite fights or counter-invades; maintain vision and avoid overextending without backup.

Start with a quick three-camp clear to reach level 3 before Amumu and prepare for aggression.
Contest first river Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to secure vision and deny Amumu.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 3 without lane support to reduce risk from Amumu's crowd control.

Level 3 unlocks your full ++ combo, enabling strong early dueling and invade pressure.
Level 6 grants for burst all-ins and escape, increasing kill threat before Amumu becomes tanky.
First lethality item completion boosts damage, allowing more confident invades and objective pressure.

Convert faster clears and early jungle pressure into invading Amumu's camps and denying his scaling.
Use superior gank threat and mobility to snowball lanes, securing lane priority for dragon and Rift Herald.
Leverage vision control around river and objectives to force Amumu into unfavorable fights, preventing his teamfight lockdown.
