Amumu is really OP right now. I ban him every ranked game and I see other team captains do the same.
He's really not that hard to counter. How to make mumu really sad:
1. gank early - he's practically useless pre-6, and won't have any tanky items yet
2. gank often - if not fed at all, he's a boat anchor
3. steal the blues - mumu is so mana-dependent it's not even funny. He's not nearly as effective without the CDR/mana regen of blue. This also means to jump him when he's low on mana, as he won't be able to counterattack effectively
4. shoot the wad - Get someone survivable to bait him into ulting on just 1 guy, then jump him afterward.
5. do not hug! - duh. Despair+sunfire+tantrum= you dead
6. Get MR - seriously, 90% of the dmg done by mumu is magic.
7. Check the items - every tank has to prioritize one type of damage first. Get the other type on him early for easy kills.
He's absurdly weak against anyone with decent range, and galio is a severe hard counter due to the natural MR synergies and the fact that his ult hits like a truck close up. You can also bait with the gust+aoe blast and chip the crap out of him.
Man, free Singed Weeks are usually my least-favorite weeks, but I've decided to learn Morganna, and good lord. None of these free-singed people realize her shield negates the throw effect.
Like 3 people have died in my turret on a botched dive, and this one singed did it twice.
Morganna rules.

Lucas's Franklin Badge reflected the lightning back!
Garen's getting banned in games? That really upsets me.
Also, is fair to call someone shit without their ult? I was playing lastnight in solo queue and some singed said i was shit and a noob without Garen's alt...
I proceeded to carry the team and go 19/7/x. But serisouly saying that about any champ doesn't make sense. "You'd really suck if it wasn't for one of your 4 abilities..." doesn't using the ability that's on a 90sec cooldown to actually get kills or decide whether to stay and fight or run not count? I mean if it's up and your at low hp, i'm going to stay and fight to get you down a little more so i can kill you, if it's not up then i'm getting the hell out because garen isn't going to do a lot of dmg once his other abilites are on cool down. -End Rant

The problem with this approach is if the rest of the team is good, Amumu can afford to go, say, 0/5, so long as he is competent with his initiations / ults. Amumu isn't good because of his 1v1 or even jungling, he's good because he has absurdly good teamfight potential.
I'm not sure I'd use the words "OP" per se, but he's certainly one of the best tanks in many team comps.

I'd rank garen just under ezreal in terms of overpoweredness
oh hello insanely mitigating tank that shoots out consistent aoe DPS, ignores anything but hard snares, and is able to deliver that last rush of damage needed to take out anyone (how many times you see fools escape teamfights sub 10%? how many times you see that happen against garen?)
so I have a tough time feeling sorry for any garen players! but its apparent that singed was terrible and a sore loser
If you watch tubby he rears his arm back before the barrel roll towards you. If you're not standing still and moving back and forth, as soon as you see his arm move back you can move in the direction to get out of the way of tubby's barrel
Sometimes you can guess wrong, but it's a bit like dealing with Karthus' dumb bombs

he has to get to you first. he doesn't have any super-awesome initiations
Is the damage from Gragas' Body Slam increased by AD items? I know it used to be, but I thought I heard they were going to change it to AP only. Anyone know?
Check it out in game, and he does get a damage coefficient for AD just hover over body slam and it'll be the orange number. Use drunken rage and it'll increase.
I don't really understand what makes ez so overpowered, honestly
he's insanely good at poking and his blink is useful, but I am too babby to see what makes him the wrath of god
he doesn't seem to have anywhere near the insane MS damage I see everyone talking about, and people can run away from him so easily
He's great because unlike most heroes he has a good early, mid, and late game. None of it is weak. He has a big skill curve so maybe in low / mid ELO he's not so great. When you meet one that hits his Q 90% of the time and gets red, blue, or both buffs, GL running away.
For items with on click abilities, is there a way to activate other than clicking on the icon in the corner? It's a bit of a reach when the mouse is normally in the middle of the screen, and I'd like to keep my UI small if I can. Also, I know I can cast heals or shields by hitting the button and then F1, or whatever team mate number, but is there a way to do this with just one button?

I hope someone said it, but casting a support spell on yourself is ALT+(QWER). SHIFT+(QWER) to quickcast it on someone else, though you can change it in the option menu.
And now, fun quiz time:
You see this.
Tell me about the biggest mistake the enemy made.
Actually two mistakes, but here I am talking about the one everyone on that team made, especially considering our team had Morgana and two easy to use stuns.
My guess is, unless I have my icons all mixed up, nobody on their team bought merc treads. Also, their garen only has 1 sunfire cape, clearly this is doing it wrong.
as soon as you see his arm move back you can move in the direction to get out of the way of tubby's barrel
what direction?
um, i guess you mean any? I thought there was some thing where the barrel blows up tot he right or left and the animation shows when way you should run.
but i guess you mean run in any perpendicular direction when you see the barrel. that's how you deal with all skill shots, right? move perpendicular?

hm. they should do a death at x time graph or something like that
oh oh a minute by minute of the question "were you dead at any point during this minute" so you can see giant gaps at the start of the game and you'd know they were feeding as opposed to just getting raped over and over late game

I managed to force Warwick to run away with about 30 hp's after he chased me down half a lane trying to kill me with my 100 hp's the whole chase. Dot+Ignite+Voidling and him running over Null void and through the silence wall..The fact that I can booby trap the entire escape path is just insane. If I didn't use my ult to kill his buddy 10 seconds earlier he woulda been toast.
He's now a must purchase after this week. Which means I'll probably be 22 and still have no cash for runes.

i dont think it means anything

sheen or brutalizer
he spits of dickrickulous damage at long range
if you do go for a kill he can do some really mean sustained damage and if shit gets western he can simply flash away
flash away all day
seriously I hate playing against competent ezreals
Earlier I got to play against one that used his flash to initiate against ryze by boinking right next to him. That was a nice ezreal to play against
he has to get to you first. he doesn't have any super-awesome initiations
