Almost Prom King Amumu Review

While conducting another archaeological dig, the Smurfmania.com team found an ancient skin, which made it to today’s review. After a thorough carbon analysis, it was determined that the skin was born on February 7, 2011. Yes, fellow gamers, today we have Almost-Prom King Amumu in our review. Get your tea and cookies ready, and I’ll proceed with a review of one of the controversial League of Legends skins. Almost-Prom King Amumu also has an interesting story in the League of Legends gaming community – although he didn’t become a successful prom king, he still managed to come in second place in style! Thus, this memorable skin has gained special meaning for many players, who take pride in playful teasing.

Lore

Graduation is one of the most important and joyous events in everyone’s life, but it also brings with it many disappointments. This sad fate befell almost the prom king Amumu, who really wanted to be the king of the evening, but didn’t. The splash art depicts him standing sad, alone backstage. You can see a ribbon for Prom King on it that says Amumu. He is also holding a rose flower, probably meant for the queen. Unfortunately, the real king and queen are standing on stage in a blaze of glory. This is a real betrayal! In the game, Amumu is dressed in a stylish evening suit and his black hair is beautifully styled. However, don’t forget that he is a mummy and covered in bandages. It is very difficult to get the approval of those around him when he is dressed like that. Apparently, he decided in vain that he was going to be the king of the ball!

Overview

Concept and Inspiration

The idea behind Almost-Prom King Amumu is quite clear. The authors combined the eternally lonely and suffering Amumu with the frustrations of unfulfilled expectations. The designers recreated the sense of frustration people face when they don’t get the recognition and love they deserve. The sad mummy attends the senior prom, for which he is very well-prepared and dressed up. However, on the day he was supposed to find happiness, he was once again forgotten and abandoned by everyone.

Design, Sound Effects and Animations

Riot did a great job creating the model and textures for this skin. However, it ended up being a simple costume change. The ability animations, particles, and sounds didn’t change. Yes, the standard animations and particles are also very good. Considering the low cost of the skin (only 520 RP), it will definitely be a good buy. In addition, the collection of Prom-themed skins consists of only two skins, and you can easily collect it.

Unique Features

Almost-Prom King Amumu features several unique features that make it noticeably different from the standard Amumu:

• The designers dressed Ammumu in a prom costume and completed it with a Prom King runner-up band. Very nice attention to detail, coupled with some splash art, and a very well done overall concept. 
• Also, there has been an improved model of the character. Amumu now has more logical body proportions. If anyone was confused by that, this skin corrects this defect and makes Amumu more realistic.
• Deep Purpose: If you think about it, the feeling of loneliness is a versatile feeling that can manifest itself in all aspects of life. Almost-Prom King Amumu is a quality implementation of this idea.

How to Get It

As of 2023, the skin is in the Legacy Vault, and it is not entirely clear when – exactly – Riot Games will unlock it. So we recommend you not to wait and buy an account with already activated Almost Prom King Amumu skin right in our store for a good price.

Gamer Reviews

My Review

As a League of Legends fan, I have hundreds of skins in my inventory, but Almost-Prom King Amumu isn’t there. I was hooked by the concept itself, the way the authors revealed the theme of Amumu’s loneliness. However, the design seemed too simple to me. After all, League of Legends skins want more interestingly realized images, not just a black evening suit.

Although Riot did not update the animations, particles and sounds, because of its low price, buying Almost-Prom King Amumu is a good idea. That way you get an interesting skin and a proportional Amumu model.

Conclusion and Rating

In conclusion, one thing can be said – Almost-Prom King Amumu is a skin for those who are looking for quirky and interesting skins, with a unique concept. The authors have shown Amumu as a graduate at the evening ball, who suffered a great disappointment. The skin would be perfect, for avid collectors or just mains this champion. 

On our site, we use a rating scale from 0 to 10, in case you didn’t know. So, this skin gets a solid 6 for his concept. It’s still a well-executed skin that the designers spent their time on. Even though the design of the skin is quite simple, and it lacks new particles and animations – Almost-Prom King Amumu is still worth your attention.
