Ideas for a visual rework for amumu (fan art) (community support is needed)

TheRicky000··71 votes·7,603 views

Greetings to all who have come to read this post, I introduce myself, I am a LAN player who wants to come to propose a change, an idea for a forgotten champion, it should be noted that the video and the fan art isn't of my own and your are invited to watch their content for it's oficial pages, what I came to propose this day to take this design more seriously for amumu and his respective visual rework, since it takes great characteristics of the region and how it should be this character in much of its senses, what the author presents with these designs is something excellent and of a quality remove similar to Riot Games, what I ask the community is that those who support the design made by the author make this publication and this fan art to be able to see in the future, a visual rework or complete rework for amumu, not identical to this amumu but as something remove similar or even improved to the professional standards of Riot Games, support this by sharing this post and giving yours opinions so that we can make the Rioters see that this is the design of the community that wants the a unique character such as amumu.

I will leave here the links and images of the fan art so that you can see them for yourselves.

It's really great work by the creator, absolutely stunning but this has been re-posted here a lot so I think just about everyone has seen it.

Not a tone of people care for it...

He just looks like a normal Yordle who got wrapped in toilet paper, he isn't really a mummy anymore...

I don't think there is reason to give a shit about that at this point.

I mean it may be a part of his character to give mistery but i wouldn't mind if he was a Yordle not some Tutanhamon knockoff.

Looks too cartoonish/cute for me, but that's me. I know a lot of people like that look, I just prefer darker art styles.

I think he should be more on the cute cartoon side since he's not that serious of a character. He's not a Lissandra but he's not Fizz either, so a model somewhere in the middle like Veigar would really make him fit in better imo.

Amumu is a horribly serious character

Amumu is a horribly serious character

i always thought of him as a "haha look he's crying lmao hes so sad and depressed lool" character not a "omg hes so sad and depressed i feel so bad for him"

Terozu1 votes

Do you even know his lore?

I'm 2 years late lol but anyway. Then Amumu ain't the champ for you since he might be a sad mummy but he isn't really a dark character persay

I'd rather have him be a mummy, not a yordle.

I honestly prefer this rather than a kid wrapped in green toilet paper.

Rustling Bush5 votes

but why would their be a yordle mummy in shurima?

4th3t0s3 votes

Just speculation, but Yordles don't confine themselves exclusively to bandle cirty; if there's a few in piltover, demacia, and noxus, shurima isn't really out of the question.

The problem with this is that we have the Cursed Mummy music video, which reveals we have a canon Amumu, and one they probably won't wanna change or it won't make any sense.

That aside though, i'd be happy with this change, finally establishing what race he is.

The Trent4 votes

Amumu is not a confirmed Yordle. Amumu died as a kid and that's why he looks the way he does. He could either be a Yordle, or just a case of an outdated model. I get that he doesn't look like a human, but no one really did back when Amumu was released. He just hasn't had a VGU, so we can't tell what he is and if he was given a VGU, then we would probably finally figure out which one he is.

Oleandervine4 votes

Amumu has specifically never been confirmed to be human either. Even in his updated flavor story in the Shurima lore update about 2 years ago it wasn't confirmed what he was, as all of the children the storyteller was talking to threw around rumors as to what he was (a child emperor, a yordle) and the storyteller never confirmed any of it. However, we do know that the ghost in Howling Abyss triggers his Yordle voice lines for him, so there is that.

IAintDarius3 votes

No offense to the artist but the idea sucks. His identity is a mystery so wrapping a yordle in toilet paper ruins it.

heroikc2 votes

Awesome art, but I'd also like an ability update/rework too. Something to make him a more viable jungler. Still, I hope Riot uses stuff here for the poor little mummy [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Echostormxx2 votes

Damn. That actually looks really nice.

Terozu2 votes

I prefer amumu as a little boy since we have no boy child mages.

i dont think amumu is a mage, more like his powers are just the result of his curse.

Terozu1 votes

I meant gameplay wise.

SpecterVonBaren2 votes

Gameplay wise he's a tank though.

Terozu1 votes

Gameplay wise he's an ap burst mage with strong initiation and sustained damage who also builds tanky to continue his sustained damage.

SpecterVonBaren2 votes

Uh..... no, that's not what he is...

Terozu1 votes

He has high ap scaling and burst from Q E and R and his W does sustained damage to targets in range. Because he has to stick to a target to actually deal his damage he builds tank.

Hes an ap burst tank.

SpecterVonBaren2 votes

Uh.... no.

Terozu1 votes

Gonna expand on that?

SpecterVonBaren3 votes

He's straight up a tank, not a mage. You can play him full AP but that doesn't make him a mage anymore than it makes Thresh a mage if he builds AP.

Terozu1 votes

Except Amumu has actual AP scaling. If you build thresh AD he can be adc. If you build Amumu ap he's a mage.

SpecterVonBaren3 votes

That's not how classes work. What you build on a champ doesn't make them a different class.

Terozu1 votes

It actually very much does. Teemo can be a burst mage or an adc. Amumu can be a tank or a burst mage. Annie can be a burst mage or a tank. Kat can be an assassin or a battle mage. Thresh can be support or adc. Leona can be a diver or a vanguard. How you build and play a champ is what defines them.

it doesn't change their class like if I build item 3031 item 3094 Karthus he still has a kit for being a battlemage, he's not a marksmen all of a sudden. a champion's class is dependant on their kit and the items they naturally synergize with, not whatever you build on them.

Terozu1 votes

Except class is a gampley style. If you play them differently you play them as a different class. Regardless of kit.

Does that mean they always work well as every class? Hell to the no. Can you still play them that way? Hell to the yes.

Can Kai'Sa be a tank? Yes yes she very well can. Does she have any cc to go along with it and make her good? Nope.

Can Leblanc be an ADC? Yes, in fact it currently out damages mage or assassin Leblanc.

Champion classes are entirely dynamic and dependent of the person playing them.

For instance some people play Kat as an assassin. I play her as a hyper mobile battle mage.

tbh he probably shouldn't have fur on his ears anymore

I want this so bad! @Rito do this plx*[sg-soraka]*

OP Garen Support2 votes

The artist is talented but i dont like this idea. Amumu is not a yordle.

Oleandervine6 votes

Amumu hasn't been confirmed to be a human or Yordle. His flavor story doesn't even confirm his species. The only hint we get is the ghost in Howling Abyss trigger his Yordle voice lines if you're playing Amumu.

Catastrop2 votes

The ultimate visual is absolutely stunning.

Irokaiser2 votes

Wow! This looks great! Would love if it was implemented.

BOSS1357902 votes

wow! i support u![sg-ezreal]

DrTeath2 votes

eww, no , that color is so ugly.

HighOnCatnip2 votes

Damn, I'd love to see this in game! While he is a mummy, I'd imagine his wrappings would come off and I love the idea of him being a yordle and more egyptian styled. He could do with a definite re-modle like this. If there's anything, make the fur on one of his ears patchy or one of is hands skeletal. He is undead. Got my full support man.

ChuShoe1 votes

Keep the emoticons in his ult, and I'll come back and support this.

LEEROY KLEDKINS1 votes

Though his original looks is more iconic and loved by the community. I do love this custom design but as much as I love this look I don't think this will ever be put into the game simply because amumu's original design is too iconic from the fanart, his gameplay and his merchandise.

It would be a risky move in pissing off old amumu fans who wont like certain changes to his body because not only will this affect the default look but the skins to.

Years ago I wasn't 100% really on board with the warwick rework because he looked mechanical and kind of felt like a machine verson of a BOW hunter/tyrant from resident evil and less of his generic werewolf design.

Not counting the ww ult becoming a skillshot I did started to love the new rework visuals on his design <3.
