Why was Mundo not included in the Tank update?

xkillertenzo·May 16, 2017·1 votes·514 views

So Mundo is that champ is almost never picked just because he isnt really that fun to play and his abilities lack animations. I really thought he was going to part of the Tank update since he lacks so many things. He is tanky but his abilities arn't quite up to date. Can I ask why he wasn't at least considered to be part of the update?

To new players of LoL if you don't know who Mundo is he was a a original champ back in 2011. He currently dosent fit in the meta. He was a sleeper champ for quite a while and he still remains like this until he gets some love from riot.

Honorable Mentions They could use some animation changes and maybe small gameplay changes but thats about it.

Because the tanks that got reworked are considered Vanguards, the tanks that start the team fight. Mundo is more of a juggernaut.

That's the ticket. According to the sub-class list, Mundo IS a Juggernaut.

If he was then he would of been on the Juggernaut update a long time ago but he has more tank like abilities like his Ult and passive.

He has no hard cc, which is necessary for tanks to do their jobs, regardless of their role (Warden or vanguard).

Like other class updates, some(or sometimes many) of the specific class are ignored in favor of other champs that Riot thinks needs the changes. He was left out of the update, but he is still classified as a Juggernaut.

When and IF there is a second Juggernaut Update, he will probably get some changes. But, I think he'll get a VGU or small-scale rework ala Shyvana, Aatrox or some of the others before that happens again.

SpaghettiVaseMay 17, 20171 votes

But he IS a juggernaut. The juggernaut update was almost 2 years ago, and at that time, they mustn't of thought Mundo needed drastic kit changes. He is in line for a full VGU however and even if 7.9 was another juggernaut update it's highly likely he would have gone untouched again due to this fact.

Juggernauts = DrMundo Trundle Volibear Olaf

Tanks = Rammus Nautilus Shen Sejuani Sion

Mundo is a Juggernaut, not a Tank.

Mundo goes where he pleases, and does not go to Class Updates. To busy getting TPI report.

OleandervineMay 16, 20171 votes

Because Mundo is on their "needs a VGU" list.

Riot hates volibear and Mundo

xkillertenzoMay 16, 20171 votes

Volibear is reasonably strong but he is that type of tank that can easily be CC to death. He could use some small changes but thats about it. Mundo is more severe then Volibear.

to put it simple it's because this was riots laziest update to date and that's undeniable

TheHappyReaperzMay 16, 20171 votes

How though? It included three large reworks, a rework of tank items, the introduction of two new tank items, and a complete overhaul of the support items.

How though? It included three large reworks, a rework of tank items, the introduction of two new tank items, and a complete overhaul of the support items.

what...? Maokai Zac Sejuani were the only champions changed, and large reworks? Sej and Zac; were given soft reworks, legit

Shen level Maokai is completely the exact same, was only given a new ultimate and some adjustments in where his power is and how it works, not sure if you could even call it a rework when all you did was give him a new ultimate and nothing else. And dont get me started on his new sapplings, it's still he same thing just better.

After that we were given item 3194 item 3001 item 3102 item 3193 while these six things were very interesting changes they were by no means extreme or large, or delivered on any of the promises riot had

Let's look at the other updates

Marksman. Graves Quinn Corki KogMaw along with a complete over haul on every ad and crit item in the game.

Mage Malzahar Cassiopeia Swain Vladimir Velkoz along with a extreme rework on every ap item in the game.

assassin Akali Ekko Evelynn Fizz Leblanc Rengar Shaco Talon Zed with the introduction of the new mechanic that is lethality while it was only three items that were given, because it is a whole new mechanic/idea it is something that can be expanded on further for we now have the tech/formula for it

Honestly the two worse updates by far were the juggernaut and the tank, that led to a huge dissapointment. This patch should of simply been called.

"three soft reworks , 4 new items and some armor nerfs"

The point of a class update is to adress the problems of the class while inventing new ways the class can be played and sticking to that theme. This update did not do that in the slightest.

Moakai: New passive, Ult, saplings, and VO

Sej: New ult, new E, new W, Q was changed, and passive was reworked

Zac: New Q, as well as the size VO change, plus his new ult. Also, various other parts of his kit were tweaked.

Item Changes: item 3001 item 3102 item 3742 item 3143 item 3083 item 3096 item 3098 item 3097 item 3026 item 3812 item 3071 item 3036 item 3065 were all changed, and item 3193 item 3194 were added to the game.

Those are some pretty significant changes.

his passive isnt new just the way it stacked is...

the nerf on his W is big, the cheezy effect on E is egh... his ult was changed and the VO which isnt needed

TheHappyReaperzMay 17, 20171 votes

Passive now has a flat heal, as well as increased max health scaling.

oSEXYPLATYPUSoMay 17, 20171 votes

and before after 7 abilities casted his next auto would heal him for a % of his max hp 5/6/7% maximum health (at levels 1/7/13)

now it has a cd that is reduced by casting abilities or being hit by enemy abilities that still procs on an auto heals him for 4.5% - 10.5% based on level of max hp

so it basically changed on how it is charged that is the biggest change of it

oSEXYPLATYPUSoMay 16, 20171 votes

its funny mundo not a tank or people says he isnt but he would be one the champs that would benefit the most from the tank item update

LMAO go figure [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Sir FuzziMay 17, 20171 votes

Mundo should have been looked at to maybe bring him more toward tank, and less... you know... Mundo.

Meep ManMay 17, 20171 votes

Mundo isn't picked because he sucks due to his main strengths are countered by a Summoner Spell, an 800G AD item, and the most commonly purchased AP item. Riot doesn't seem to want to buff him either because he has been in that spot for a while now.
