Why are people acting like Mundo is all of a sudden scarier now?

Exactly what were you doing against him in the previous patch? You don't need the extra 15-30% increase in physical damage - that's something item 3036 that was JUST introduced. You can now apply grievous wounds again without the need for ignite while ALSO gaining armor pen. His healing gimmick is more screwed over because of this new item.

Scimitar & Maw now provide sustain (situational for Maw) and the MR will always help mitigate whatever damage Mundo has. Bork got nerfed but it's not a terrible item. Someone explain what the fuss is about, or is this more tears just because of new changes?

Because people just want to build full crit on ADCs. They refuse to build items that counter tanks, such as item 3153. That's why tanks are powerful now. Although the items themselves were nerfed, they are still necessary to deal with tanks. But people act as if just because they were nerfed, they are shit and not worth buying under any circumstances. It's true that BotRK is no longer a general item that you can rush on any situation. But it is still a necessary item to deal with tanks.

As for Executioner's Calling, people think that this item sucks. I don't understand this, people complain so much about the lack of a GW option for ADs, and now that we have EC once again, people refuse to buy this against sustain champions.

Mundo is powerful due to these reasons. He has a lot of damage for a tank.

People actually picked Mundo this patch. Thus, some other people lost to Mundo. Consequently, "Mundo is SO OP! Riot nerf pls". That's how things work around G&B.

GW was reintroduced, so we got masteries that significantly buffed self-healing. But nobody builds the GW items, so...

These items exist yet Mundo still has a 57% win rate. So either the items aren't hurting Mundo all that much or people aren't adapting to Mundo yet - probably too early to know for sure right now.

Mundo literally hasa 62% win rate in Challenger as well as a really high pick rate all of the sudden.

No but yeah I'm sure he's only strong because stupid ass high elo ADC players have no idea what to build against Mundo, lol. Idiots.

True, you can build to counter Mundo. But the new items that are good against him have become too specialized. Unlike the old items such as LW and Botrk, the new ones are much weaker against squishy champs and as such, you can't build them to counter Mundo without crippling yourself against the rest of the enemy team. So either way you build, you're still at a big disadvantage compared to someone else that doesn't have to fight against a Mundo team.
