Amumu Update Idea
Okay so we all saw the Amumu music video and we know that it's just that, a music video, and I'm not sure if Riot even has plans to update the little guy. (Probably not since he's fine as he is) The video did get me thinking of some ideas to make Amumu a bit more of a Dynamic character and, well, I wanted to share them! PS: Not going to run numbers much since it's nearly impossible to tell how balanced THAT would be.
Passive: Lonely Mummy Instead of a MP bar Amumu has a Loneliness meter that fills up whenever he isn't around allied units, roughly 5 per 5 second up to 100. every 25 points of loneliness he gets gives him different boosts. At 25 he gets movement speed+, at 50 he gets bonus magic damage to his auto attack based on bonus Armor/MR, at 75 he gets tenacity and at 100 his skills get a slight change in ability! If he find a friend, his loneliness goes down fast making he ineffective and causing his teammates to ditch him on sight. I know it seems cruel but on the brightside...gimme a minute =/
Q: Bandage Toss Mostly the same as now. This time Amumu's desperate attempt at a hug is reflected with his loneliness bar. The lower the loneliness, the shorter the range which increases every 25 loneliness. At max loneliness, Amumu becomes a bit too desperate and deals slightly more damage than normal...yikes scorpion ain't got nothing on a lonely mummy. "GET OVER HERE!" Amumu: "YAY"
W: Despair Mostly the same as now but with a slight tweak. The Max HP damage is the same no matter how lonely he gets, but the duration increases with every 25 loneliness threshold he gets. Turning it from toggle to a duration skill was necessary since he is now manaless. At 100 Loneliness Amumu Despair is at its worst, effecting the target 5 seconds even after getting outside the range. Despair tends to linger like a bad wound...or Taco Bell. "Not even once" (T >)=3
E: Tantrum Copy and Paste the first sentence of the first two skills here. This time his loneliness is tied to his reduced damage. At max loneliness he lowers the attack damage of whoever he hits. Apparently their lose the will to deal with the brat and let's him do what he wants. I think I found out where Amumu's from, he's the lost child from Bébé's Kids. Go figure. >_>;
R: Curse of the Sad Mummy Okay so here's the biggest question. How the heck is he gonna team fight if he gets weaker with everyone around him. That's where the ultimate comes in, for all your team fighting needs. Stop me if you heard this before but Curse of the Sad Mummy is mostly the same but you get 25 loneliness points for every enemy champion caught in the ult. Furthermore, as long as you stay within the curse your loneliness stays strong, so now you can be surrounded by people who like you but still be lonely...huh, sounds like high school all of a sudden. Well whatever, lastly, if you have 100 loneliness while fighting in your ultimate, all enemy champions inside the ulti have a small portion of their armor and MR stolen by Amumu, turning into Supermumu, worlds loneliest tank. No seriously though, with his passive and everything he starts hitting like REALLY hard if enough people are in the ult ^^;
Aaaaand that's all folks. Twas fun coming up with some of this stuff. Please share your thoughts on how my revision(?) of Amumu sits with everyone. I'd love and welcome the feedback! L8ers.
