Amumu is the best one. Jungler/Ganker and very good disables.

For me Shen is the best one, but sucks at initiating, so you need someone else to do that for you. Someone like Ashe, Malph or tanky built xin...

Ashe for the win ;)

[Fortuna]

Ashe for the win ;)

 

She's one of the best initiators in the game, cause she can force the enemies to fight even if they are disadvantaged.

[Belzebul]

After the huge boost of singed, he is clearly the best tank.

If we were looking for a DoT mage , we would choose Swain.
