(Rework) Dr. Mundo - The Mad Scientist of Zaun
Ever since I started playing league Dr. Mundo's "Dr Jekel and Mr. Hide" theme has always intrigued me, and I think I have an interesting concept on how that theme could be explored through his design.
Mundo should be the first champ that evolves throughout the totality of the entire game. From level 1-18 he should have changes to his physical appearance all the way down to his kit. Mundo would start the match as a human scientist, and when spawning into the fountain inject himself with a serum which will turn him into the monster. His appearance at each level will slightly begin to change level per level to show that he is becoming this monster throughout the match. For example as a level 1 human he would be this scrawny human but at level two start to show the first stage of his from by gaining some slight mass to one of his arms and shoulder area. By level 6 you will start to see his body becoming deformed , clothes tearing as his body grows to new proportions yet still uneven, keeping some parts of his body still resembling his former self. by level 13 his former body is almost gone with the monstrous figure almost fully taken over. By level 18 the full monster has arrived showing no resemblance of the original.
His speech and dialog should go hand and hand with his transformations to add a good sense of thematic's to the champ, along with his game play which could start off as this squishy scientist who turns into this late game tanky monster. I think to really bring this idea together his kit should change at a certain level of his evolution (most likely level 6 when he gets his ult). For example from level 1-5 his kit should focus on helping him survive and farm in lane. Maybe a move that heals him, another that can get him out of CC, and another for slight poke making him this standoffish champion who is squishy and not meant to fight.... until level 6 when the doctor isn't really a fragile man anymore, and the monster has started to really rear his ugly head. His kit should change to become more aggressive, with all new moves to support this play style. his scaling should be heavy on the health armour and mag resist side while having some dmg similar to how he is now. I know this might take a lot of work from programming to skin deign having to make essentially 18 different models for each of his skins, but the potention to deliver such a cool new and interesting design is simply to good to pass up. So please riot, giv it some consideration and try to make it happen!
I think this fan concept art by Karamilk is a grate visual to show a evolition stage of Mundo
Rioters and Community members, what do you think of this concept? Feel free to comment below with ideas, critiques, or anything else :)
