I am wondering which is the better choice between the two? I hear Dr. Mundo is extremely good. But for me Yorick shows much promise. I have to understand his ult a bit better tho. Anyway, I would love to get the forums opinion on this matter.

Mundo is a better choice overall

Can you explain that a bit more? If you don't mind.
Rueian2 votesYorick brings very little to the solo queue late game. He relies on having a single strong ally he can use his ultimate on. Early/Mid game yorick is a great bully but lacks mobility to close out kills. He also has great sustain at high mana cost, you are almost required to buy tear to make him work. Yorick is an un-optimized brusier that just doesn't fit well into this high mobility and tanky meta He is still fun though.
Mundo is entirely based on building LOTs of HP and lots of resists so he can soak damage and be a huge annoyance to the enemy. Overall mundo is easier to play since you have to worry about less resources for itemization, and he has high damage output without having to build into damage. Mundo's ultimate gives him a reliable heal and movement speed buff for running away and surviving or running in and catching people.
Erockandroll1 votesPersonally, I like Mundo.
His Cleavers give him excellent poke and kiting in the laning phase, also useful for getting some tricky last hits on minions. And by the time he reaches level 6, he becomes extremely difficult to bully out of lane.
In addition to the HP and other Tanky stuff you want to build, I also like splashing a fair amount of CDR. Cause having lots of Cleavers increases your poke and kiting, and having your ult up more often make you especially hard to kill.
The only weakness in the current meta however. His Tankyness is Extremely reliant on his health Regeneration. And that can be gimped due to the popularity of Morellomicon. Grievous wounds really hurts him.
LaughingMan111 votesI agree with Rueain, for the most part, the problem with Yorick currently is "win your lane, lose the game" hes great 1v1, and 1v2 when you get ganked because of self peel with Q and E, and then your W provides awesome sustain. (i may have W and E flip flopped) But come end game, unless your ADC wrecked face bot lane, you pretty much become an over glorified off-tank. At least with Mundo, you maintain relevance throughout the game. Yorick can carry an early/mid game win as long as you're pretty well ahead. All in all, you end up going from Early/Mid Game carry, into off-tank peeler End Game, with your primary job being Ult the ADC to win team fights 6v5, and then your ADC revives if it gets focused. Mundo, you play an irritating tank all game that pretty much never dies and has a lot of invisible damage in team fights.
