Better Amumu skin.

Okay so the best Amumu skin is Little Knight... hands down, but why are the rest of his skins all girly and retarded looking. You need to fire whoever is doing all the other skins. Amumu needs to be as much of a badass as Varus, Xin Zhao, Lee Sin, or Vi. I understand you have a characters background to feed off of but i just want one skin to been something rad that kind of doesn't pertain to that, or something insanely cool that could matches his lore, but also breaks a badass new boundary.

come on, give me something new to purchase! Please!

...this confuses me, since Amumu's character troupe is entirely non bad-ass. He's a sad mummy of a child (or Yordle...not sure about his new lore) who really just wants company in his eternal unlife.

Hence why his skins tend towards the sad and pitifully adorable -- Sad Robot, Emumu, Re-gifted Amumu, Almost Prom King. There's nothing wrong with any of those skins, honestly.

Now, you could definitely give Amumu an out-of-type skin, but insulting Riot's design decisions isn't really a positive way to encourage them to consider your idea. They've been designing pretty solid skins that support Amumu's core fantasy of being a sad, lonely, pitiable character, and they've been doing it pretty well.

Is there room for a Zombie Amumu, Secret Agent Amumu, Warden Amumu, or something? Absolutely. I can think of a few themes that might be suited to him. But he's never going to be a particularly badass champion unless he gets a Legendary with completely new voice lines...and insulting Riot's existing work in such harsh terms isn't going to make anyone who might actually make this decision likely to appreciate your viewpoint.
