it's really really not (speaking as someone who avoided it for the longest time for that exact reason)

watch a few videos, play a few bot/custom games to practice clearing; the hardest part is ganking which is just a matter of communicating with your team.

if you really super duper don't want to jungle at all then you really shouldn't play amumu, you will have the hardest time doing anything in lane. decent lane tanks are things like jarvan or leona or singed, not amumu

edit: i should say that you will probably get away with it at low level play, but even so you would be much more effective with something else

Maybe it's just that 9/10 times when I have a jungler on my team, they don't seem to do well and we lose. It's made me hate even having junglers at all :( And I always hear how difficult it can be to jungle. But perhaps I've been mislead?
I don't plan on staying up late, but maybe sometime later today or tomorrow I can be on for someone to teach me if they'd like... or even some good recommended guides would be just as helpful maybe^^;

jungling "can" be difficult but some champions have a much much easier time of it than others

warwick and amumu are pretty much jungling easy mode

a lot of the time junglers at low levels don't do so well because the people in the lanes aren't really thinking about setting their lanes up for ganks, they're tunnelling too hard and just trying to dominate their lane (usually by pushing it up to the enemy tower where they can't be ganked)

if you're usually playing with people that you're talking to over skype or something then it's much easier to discuss and coordinate though

Brandi, do you have runes? I found jungling quite difficult before I hit 20 because I didn't get any runes until then. Once I hit 20, it got a lot easier. (Also, definitely try it in a bot game first. Don't let Espeonage convince you into trying Jungle Nunu in a real game as your first time trying to jungle with runes).

It's a bit sad that he doesn't have any penta kills and that he doesn't have more quadras. Actually, more doubles and triples too...

I like him. He's a pretty good AD carry, and his Smokescreen is really nice.

Since we don't yet have him on EU i've just had to watch streams to see what he's all about, but he looks really cool. His smokescreen is amazing by the looks of things and he's got some great burst damage. Buying him tomorrow when he's patched in :)
