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.

[@Biochemitra]

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.

NickyBoi: "Fiddlesticks had the best rework!" Sion: "Am I a fucking joke to you?!"

[@robertradford4707]

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.

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

Hopefully, Mundo's lore change could be caused by Arcane the same way how Jinx is teased to have a tragic backstory.

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?

[@robertlupa8273]

That sounds like Star Guardian Urgot 2.0

At least among all of the anime character tropes they could have chose, riot made him a himbo

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

"Challenging their character stereotype rather than embodying it" HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I heard this somewhere before hmmmmmmmm

[@15-HM-A1-L]

It is currently June 3rd of 2022 so yeah that udyr estimate seems to be pretty accurate so far and with belveth coming this month I would say either July or August sounds about right.

[@maximillion964]

They're trying to pull an Ice King with the new Mundo

[@Bread_Bauru]

I love him for HUGE you can be when playing as him, and his voice lines? Superb “Mundo dont remember mundo before mundo was mundo :T “ “Mundo helps people in Zaun AND Piltover, Mundo without borders! :) “ “Hmmm… label say, may cause: torn clothes, mood swings, purple skin…. Me Watch for that o-o’ ” His rework is definitely a mix bag of confusion, but I appreciate his goofiness in general, also Moneyman mundo is 11/10

[@chikovida10]

that's what you get for trying to rework udyr

[@lolly4656]

ur editing is actually hilarious

[@hystericalsavant3798]

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

[@evanhuizenga8626]

Top notch editing, this gets a heccking like

[@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.

[@Izuku_]

I mean in retrospect, they were probably trying to make him fit the lore they've set up in Arcane and this design and backstory make more sense with what we've learned about Zaun through the show
