Dr. Mundo’s Rework Update: What We Know So Far
Since May, Riot Games has been working on a rework for Dr. Mundo in League of Legends. This is part of their ongoing efforts to update older champions and bring them in line with newer ones. In a recent update, Riot provided fans with some details on the progress of the Dr. Mundo rework. Here’s what we know so far.
Mundo’s Reworked Abilities
Riot initially experimented with various ideas to enhance Dr. Mundo’s gameplay. One idea involved allowing Mundo to blow up minion corpses, but this was scrapped because it changed his playstyle too much. Riot is currently exploring ways to improve Mundo’s passive ability while maintaining his tankiness. The goal is to make significant gameplay improvements without drastically changing how players approach the champion.
How Will the Reworked Dr. Mundo Look?
While Riot hasn’t revealed in-game visuals of Dr. Mundo’s new look, they have shared some design ideas. These sketches depict Mundo with a refreshed visual style that aligns better with the game’s current champions and map textures.
Will there be any changes in Dr. Mundo’s lore?
Dr. Mundo’s lore describes him as a mad monster who terrorizes Zaun, a region in League of Legends. The current plan is to keep Mundo as a crazy, juiced-up monster who believes he’s a doctor but actually isn’t. This approach preserves the character’s roots and adds some entertaining possibilities to his story.
When will Dr. Mundo be released?
Riot aims to release the reworked Dr. Mundo in 2021, with a target date in March. However, development hiccups could potentially delay the release. Fans can expect more information on Mundo’s progress in a future dev blog.
