Shortly after the start of League of Legends Season 11, Riot Games published an update on the development of Dr. Mundo's VGU. This was the second update on Dr. Mundo's VGU since its development was announced in June 2020, the first occurring in September 2020.
According to the developer team, the champion had gone too long without a proper upgrade, making him not only visually outdated but in dire need for gameplay touch up as well.
