[@Loliston]

Maaan I loved the comic stupidity of these trolls, I'm even more excited for Mundo rework now, riot just showed us that it can make funny dumb characters, Mundo just gotta be the funniest and dumbest and we are all set. Kled showed me how a voice acting can bring life to a character so I wouldn't jump the gun and say that Mundo design will be pretty and boring without listening to the VO and seeing the animations of the character... Really hope Mundo has an ability where he tries to make an attack, trips and fall on his face, it would be so funny seeing that inside the game

16:50 reminds me alot of an old Norwegian fairytail called "Askeladden kappåt med trollet" or "The Ashlad and the Hungry Troll" in english. Where the Ashlad would also dare a huge troll who's head was full of moss to a eating contest and also use a bag to stuff meat, and thus also cut his "stomach" (the bag) open in order to trick the troll into killing himself. Funny how this is exactly the same as Trundle did to Yettu hahahha. Looks like the writer had some inspiration xD

This is actually just a rewrite of a classic Nordic fable about a boy who gets sent out to kill a troll. He goes through different challenges and it ends with an eating contest where he places his backpack in front to eat more and then he cuts his “stomach” open in the same way trundle does. It’s comparable to the story David and Goliath, but with human ingenuity instead of the powder of god.

for those who don't know the story is very very similar from a Skandinavian story about atleast here in Norway is the story of Askeladen and the troll which the story more or less goes the same way with the troll being tricked by the boy using a knife to cut his bag and then dies trying to do the same with his belly i see it as they have gotten more inspiration from skandinavia which so so cool to me honestly and makes me love trundle even more
