I am 100% in for a full Corporate skin line for the "monster" champions. I would buy CEO'Gath SO FAST.

[MartyrisBisclavret]

Honestly, I love the tonal whiplash that Mundo has in his lore.

Much like the Pyro from TF2 you get two different perspectives that actually offer a decent amount of depth and introspection into his story. One side is a terrifying horrific entity that slaughters pretty much indiscriminately, but those are a dime a dozen in fiction, and not at all unusual for League of Legends.

But then you find out that he's doing it not out of hunger. Not out of sadism, or wickedness, or some greater purpose, or even out of malice. He's doing it because he genuinely believes that he's trying to help people, and that's even more terrifying while being sad and awful and darkly funny all at once.

You couldn't pull that off on a character like Aatrox without it seeming facetious, or on a Noxian without it seeming fanatical or a Demacian without it seeming like they're corrupted. Even Shadow Isles characters couldn't be used to give that idea any weight.

You see the lumbering clumsy doofus in the ripped straitjacket, claiming he's a doctor, and you laugh. Then you find out what made him this way, and you feel awful for laughing. Then you see the bonesaw and you realize you should not have been laughing, you should have been running, because being killed by something innocent and friendly is so much more fundamentally disturbing than being killed by something that's blatantly evil. And the more silly and goofy the killer, the more disturbing it becomes. It has the same effect as Pyrovision from TF2 - to everyone else, they're a complete psychopath who revels in butchery. To Mundo, he's a struggling doctor who just wants to help. And to the viewer/reader, who sees both sides, it's worthy of pity, tragedy, horror, and comedy all at the same time.

You can literally feel the love you have for Mundo, and it's entirely justified, because it's freaking Mundo

[josephhyde]

Won’t happen but Corporate Gwen where she is doing a ribbon cutting ceremony is too perfect.

[MechanicMikan]

Nicky forgot the most important part of Corporate Mundo and the whole reason is the best skin ever. The tiny car you get when you leave the base

[PapaBearIsHere]

I think the tonal whiplash is actually brilliant personally, which might sound weird but here me out: Its all to do with outside world views vs internal views of mundo, we view mundo as goofy, because we aren't in league, but in the universe? man is a terrifying serial killer who just brutally maims people while laughing, hes like the mask comics in how his actions are horrific when you see them in universe, but funny outside, and makes a fantastic contrast to the fact he thinks hes a doctor, he thinks hes lighthearted.

Thats why I don't think the bio is a tonal whiplash, it actually adds further to the story of how fucked up mundo is.

[indigofenix]

Corporate Yorick, with the Maiden as his secretary and his ghouls stuffed in white-collar suits. His E throws money at the enemy which causes the ghouls to jump after them and W summons cubicle walls.

To be Honest,
Mundo is the Type of Character who will always be Fun To play with but Be a Pain in the ass to be against...

But no matter what Team he is... He is still by far The Best to see

[kristophernewkirk]

This is random but I've wanted so badly for season two of arcane to have ekko wander into the asylum where Mundo is and it go for a cinematic horror movie type feel as ekko searches for scrap and the tension builds as we see bonesaws and broken pencils and clipboards with misspelled diagnosis only for Mundo to chase ekko through the asylum just being charming, hilarious and horrifying, do it riot, you cowards. Fun addition maybe one of silco's chem barons is the one that handed over Mundo he could be an early attempt at making a permanent shimmer super Soldier like what silco did to that kid but it failed and they locked the result away in the asylum

[Knight]

I gotta say my favourite line from Mundo is, "Who is Mundo to play god? Ah, MUNDO!!!"

[eldritchleviathan]

Nicky talking about Corporate Mundo made me realize there is a monster champ with a skin the almost fits in corporate, Gentlemen Cho’gath. Currently you could shove him in as a wealthy investor or something.

[TheWolfDawg]

His corporate skin is also absolutely top notch. Literally ever since his vgu I think I've used 1 other skin once, and all the over 100 times I've played him I've used corporate Mundo

[papertowels]

I think the way Riot made Mundo's rework is very fitting. It represents Mundo, his backstory, and his behavior after his mutation as if you are Mundo.

Mundo thinks he is a great doctor, but acts all goofy as a person's first impression. However if you are near Mundo for too long, the horror and tragedy of his character is revealed.

A newer Mundo player will think he's just a goofy character, but when they dive into his lore and discover how messed up he is... it's terrifying.

Mundo, I feel is a great representation of subservation of expectations.

[SomeAdamGuy]

Mundo goes where he pleases on the alphabet, he could've went before Aarrox

[silk]

Comedic timing genius. Those cuts are my favourite part of these videos

[rubiconprime]

A skin I’d like for Mundo would just be a regular surgeon outfit. Basic, but I can imagine the splash art having the same vibe as that Mr. Bean meme where he’s in surgeon scrubs with the mask pulled down giving the patient a thumbs up, mixed with the dentist scene from that episode of BTAS with Joker, Harley, and Commissioner Gordon (if you need a skinline just make Evelyn the surgeon assistant. Who wouldn’t want sexy nurse Evelyn?). Plus the skin could be called Dr. Dr. Mundo, and I think that’s funny.

8:50 Malphite got pissed and punched the floor with pure rage 😭😭

[Zonra]

Just want to point out that the video is not in the Casual Champion Review playlist it seems.
Just finished watching it to catch up and noticed i missed this video.
Also, loving the series and will enjoy following it going forward.

[Traubenbecher]

We need a Hand Mundo little legend
and we need it now

[ignowo]

I just love everything about mundo so mucho, such a fun character in every way. Its one of the few champs i actually enjoy hearing his voice lines and just brings me joy in general.
