"Amumu joined the League as a champion, which has given him the thing he desired: a home. With his present (un)life secured, he now hopes the friends he has made will help him discover his past. " ...There's no more League...So Amumu never found his home. Nor any friends. Thus this video. Damn, I knew retconning the Lore was gonna have its consequences.

I never cared much for Amumu.

Then I felt the feels.

Dammit Riot why you gotta make me feel the feels?!

It was really well made and honestly did make me feel sad for the little guy. It was also a visual marvel, really beautiful to look at. Good job Riot, making cool things!

Feels aside, does this mean that the "friendship" Amumu has with Annie no longer canon?

The title of this post sounds like a new Reddit username. Plot twist, original WhyRenektonWhy makes a new profile named WhyAmumuWhy. You heard it here first, folks.

What if the friendship with Annie is only since Annie liked the children's tale about him. They could have never met, making Amumu still all alone and sad.

By the way, I want to play Amumu now and also wish he had a VU to match the stuff in the video.

Great video, loved the art style.

Really need the name of their weed/LSD guy though. They're on some awesome shit.

I'm a little disappointed that this music video is only rehashing things we already knew for the most part. No new lore info from the lyrics but the (gorgeous) visuals suggest that he's wandered out of the Shurima, through the Twisted Treeline of the Shadow Isles, close to Bilgewater, into the Glade, and finally what looks like possibly Bandle City (doorways are child size)? But there's nothing to corroborate my guesses.

Perhaps the upcoming promotions/vids/whatever will explain more but I'm not holding my breath.

It was really, really sad. Even as I write this, tears are welling up in my eyelids. It is just so sad, and I feel like most people can relate to that sort of feeling of loneliness because we have all felt it at one point or another.

Aside from that, I feel like it is also a political statement about all of the recent school shootings we have had in America. Maybe I am over-analyzing, but that is how I interpreted it, and it just made it so much more powerful than it already was.

Wut, the lyrics were full of "amumu", they just needed to mention him once or none at all.

Using "cause" as a closing sentence is also a lazy/uncreative writing. This only made the song cringeworthy. :/

Music and animation were nice though.

I woke and saw it. Started watching. Said "Oh cool, an Amumu short, maybe he's getting a Legendary/Ultimate Skin." Then heard Owl City start singing and immediately turned it off, I need to get ready for work and don't have time for that crap.

Was there a skin reveal in it or no?

I play amumu often in ranked and normals.

Gotta keep the lil guy company

Fun fact: The curse never specifies that others cannot think of Amumu as a friend. It only specifies HE cannot have friends. Poor guy doesn't even realize what he has with Annie. :c
