The attractiveness aspect especially as a trend more recently with champions is because of China, the champions who are popular in China are all the champions one may deem attractive, meanwhile everywhere else has at least 1 monster champion that is popular. Furthermore with Riot being owned by Tencent, a Chinese company, along with Wild Rift basically being made because the mobile game market is huge in China. So while yes money is one of the aspects, it's because the Chinese market just completely outnumbers everyone else.

I love and agree with just about everything in this video, except one point: I'm not sure I would describe the new design as "sexy". Like, it has certain aspects that one associates with conventional sexiness, but the end result feels, to me, more like a "body horror Johnny Bravo" than "sexying up Mundo". Y'know, adding those conventionally handsome features to contrast the rest of his design and make it more unnerving. Like if you were to have a grotesque, gigeresque bug monster, but then give it sexy, smoochable lips. But that's pretty subjective. It's definitely less cartoonishly extreme than the original, which probably isn't what you want to do with Mundo. But I think there's still a humor to it.

[@Birthday888]

See, the problem us that it isn't just one aspect of Mundo that just happens to be handsome. All of him is when he isn't hulking out. He's got a relatively human body with a bodybuilder's build, and his face has been almost completely untouched by whatever experiments he underwent. And even when he transforms, he doesn't look ugly, just less human. He's basically just sexy Hulk.

Even tho I don’t mind the Mundo rework how it ended up, it is surely so that it feels more like an mini-rework then an actual rework if you put it next to reworked champions like Warwick or fiddlesticks.

New Sion is very very fun but he's very fun in ways that share nothing in common with old Sion. Old Sion mostly was played with full ap midlane or top, point and click 2.5 second stun, and a massive shield that exploded for massive dmg. Alternatively people would play heavy AD, rack up permanent bonus health with his e, and then use the stun to get in range and ult to nuke and full heal. Both of those are not ways you can play current Sion. The closest is the second one, but instead of lifesteal and point and click stun to engage you die and run at people with lethality built.

Fun fact about your cho'gath point: A few years back, I met a rioter at a convention, don't remember his name, but he was kinda a decision maker, participating in reunions to decide new skin lines. And at the time, he told me that once, one of the guys put something on the table, Magical Girl Cho'Gath. And that he pushed for it, because he found the whole concept absolutely hilarious, big ass void monster with a magical girl outfit etc. Well, it never happened sadly, but I still remember this story and say to myself... Man, how fucking awesome would it have been? Instead, we get... sexy anime character #81 in a few months I guess?

That sounds like Star Guardian Urgot 2.0

Spot on with Udyr prediction

[@NeroTheAngel]

I think they nailed it completely because with the three different directions when it comes to design, lore and animations it is right what mundo is. Just a complete chaos

[@chikovida10]

that's what you get for trying to rework udyr

I felt very much the same in terms of the design, Wish they'd tried to make him look more monstrous maybe even going so far as to disfigure him instead of he's hulk, but purple (which i know was their original plan with him) as far as the lore goes it definetely helps him feel like he belongs in the lore but yeah I do wish it had been a bit more.... mundo. the voice lines and animations were exactly what I wanted and I really hope that aspects translates through to a design up date later down the road for him, gameplay wise he definetely feels virtually the same, while I cant raid boss level tank with him anymore I can ad stack off hp items and just cleaver murder everyone. overall it definetely feels very underwhelming, but at the same time it feels like what needed to stay the same did.

The Corki sound made me laugh hahaha brilliant editing and writing man

[@hystericalsavant3798]

I feel like Mundo is literally Ed from Ed, Edd and Eddie

1:51 You were right on the money there, Nickyboi.

[@saddestsphere]

I wonder what they’ll do with him if he shows up in Arcane, and how it might change players’ opinion on his new lore.

[@jacobhargrave112]

Absolute incredible work on the vid, one of the best league videos I've seen in a long time.

[@zoltantani7178]

5:37 Idk why but I laughed so much, I guess he still serves as comic relief to me.

Mundo has been very special to me being one of the first champions I wanted to main. Gameplay I love how they shifted power away from hp regen his ult, gave him a unique passive and created a more active playstyle then just toggle w and spam e and q. I understand that his lore is pretty generic and similar to ww but I like the idea of mundo being a person before only to be tortured so much that’s all he knows. Where as warwick retains what knowledge he had and hates his new form mundo is weirdly normal in his position. The terrifying irony of him learning from his torturers how to “heal” people reflects his quotes and visiual design. I’m not here to tell you your wrong but I wanted to express that I really enjoy this rework
