Show the Sad Mummy some Love!

So I was looking at the recent lore updates with the Shuriman champions (5/31/16) and I realized that of all the champions, Amumu hasn't been updated that recently. I mean his in game model has gotten better, but his ability icons are still super old, and he doesn't have a new splash art like all of the Shuriman champs (excluding skarner). I feel like the champion concept for Amumu is very intriguing and I loved his "Curse of the Sad Mummy" cinematic, however I feel that the idea Amumu was based upon originally should be improved. I came up with some ideas that could improve his kit and overall idea, for example:

  • New ability icons, because they're ancient (like amumu),
  • Improved new game model, so it looks less cartoony ,
  • Improve his skins (in game model and splash arts),
  • Make his abilities more serious looking and sad, because he is a terribly sad mummy that will never have any friends,
  • and possibly more voice overs.

Amumu has only 12 lines in the entire game, but he has a skin that changes some of the sounds (Sad Robot Amumu). What I desire is that Amumu is polished into the best version of himself, and I feel like he has a lot of potential to grow. I believe he is a fun champion that can be a hidden threat, but he is quite often overlooked. I also find it a bit odd that Amumu is an eternally sad mummy, but his tears can be turned on and off. I feel like his tears should be a part of his passive, he has two passives: cursed touch and eternal sadness, and I feel like his cursed touch should apply to champions he snags with his Q, because cursed touch only applies on champions he has auto attacked. With his W a part of his passive now, Riot could use their creative minds to make a new ability that helps Amumu's kit in a unique way, because many 450 IP champions have been improved quite recently and their kits don't seem stale.

In conclusion I feel like all champs in league should be treated with love equally, because Nidalee's splash arts are being revamped and Cho'gath (among many other champs) has gotten new ability icons. I hope someone reads this post and possibly agrees with me because I care about Amumu. If anyone has any thoughts, ideas, and questions they would like to share please comment on this so I can see it. Thanks for reading! Amumu Amumu Amumu Amumu Amumu Amumu Amumu Amumu
