Leona vs Amumu Counter Pick

Two melee tanks share the 125 attack range and the same 335 movement speed, so the bot lane clash between Leona and Amumu turns on who lands the first point-and-click hit and on what the marksman behind them converts. Leona is the more resilient of the two by a wide margin, 43 base armor rising to 124.6 against 33 and 101, which matters because Amumu’s damage is entirely magic while his own physical mitigation is the weaker half of the trade.

Ability order favors the Radiant Dawn as well. Shield of Daybreak stuns as an empowered basic attack with no travel time, whereas Bandage Toss is a skill shot that must connect before it pulls, leaving Amumu without engage until it returns. Sunlight then converts every follow-up hit from an ally into bonus damage. Cursed Touch is his real counterplay, since a cursed target takes bonus true damage from incoming magic damage, so a magic-heavy enemy composition raises his ceiling considerably. Despair also drains a percentage of maximum health each second from nearby enemies and refreshes their curses. Across 231 recorded games on patch 16.13.1 Leona holds a 55.8% win rate and an Easy grade, on a sample small enough to treat as directional rather than settled. Difficulty ratings of 4 and 3 confirm neither kit is demanding to execute.
