Thresh vs Amumu Counter Pick

Amumu deals magic damage exclusively, and Cursed Touch makes that harder to itemize against than the label suggests: his basic attacks curse a target so incoming magic damage carries bonus true damage alongside it. Against a support holding 30 magic resist and no armor growth of his own, the result is 48.2% for Thresh across 442 games on patch 16.13.1.

• Tantrum permanently reduces the physical damage Amumu takes, which blunts the attack-damage half of a mixed profile built on 56 base attack damage.
• Despair drains a percentage of maximum health every second, so 2,660 HP at level eighteen becomes a liability rather than a cushion.
• Bandage Toss is a stun and a gap-closer in one cast, while Death Sentence only pulls Thresh forward on a second activation.

The counterweight is range and utility. Thresh works from 450 units against 125 and moves at 330 against 335, a small deficit that Dark Passage covers by handing an ally both a shield and an exit. Difficulty runs 7 against 3, so a clean Flay into Death Sentence sequence belongs to whoever practices it, and Damnation turns any nearby death into permanent armor and ability power. The even label is honest: this comes down to who lands first, and Curse of the Sad Mummy is the harder ability to sidestep. The rest of Amumu‘s numbers sit on his profile.
