Why do champs like Mundo even exist?

Edit: Just throwing this out there... Yes while I focused on his sustian and damage, etc. I enver said you couldn't ever kill him.. yet everyone in the comments are like "oh here's a few counters, gg pat myself on hte back me so smart"

His kit is unhealthy, he has no counter play, and well all the other points I made. This is the main point. Its crazy how people can read something and be unable to think.

He has so much insane sustain.. Even in the LCS the pros have no fking clue how to deal with him, and even when they itemize against him, he still tanks 1v5 and laughs it off. The only time he loses is when the rest of his 4 teammates decide to play so incredibly passive and the other team plays things PERFECTLY, and even then his chances of losing are slim when he's literally tanking the entire enemy team with his face and still doing absurds amount of damage.

THat's not even pointing out jungle mundo. Who can literally own the ENTIRE MAP and there isn't jack shit you can do about it as another jungler. Even when you ask for lanemates to come help, which they sometimes actually do, he still gets away due to his insane sustain, and by level 6.. its over. He's won every fking jungle on the map, because it'll require at least 3 people to actually kill him. Unlike most junglers, he's going to have full health, and all his shit off cooldown to constantly gank over and over again, all he has to do is land 1 Q... In lower elo's somehow my teammates constantly die by his weak ganks.. in higher elo's his ganks are much less problematic....

Of course his ganks are "Weak" in higher elo's, but that's not even considering then that the jungle then becomes his own free lane on BOTH SIDES of the map... Clearing every single jungle on both sides, giving scraps to the enemy jungler, and he gets to do this without risk or worry, allowing him to virtually free farm half the map on his own, so when teamfights do occur he is without fail insanely tanky, with high damage and sustain...

In a meta where EVERYONE is screaming that the damage is insanely too high, even tanks and high sustain champs are getting destroyed in seconds, and you still have a champ this insanely broken, tanky, and able to 1v5.. you know there is a major fking balance problem...

DrMundo is all skill shots and has one of the highest skill caps in the game.

To answer your initial question: To punish teams that pick too much CC in lieu of damage.

I won't bother responding to the rest of what you said given that it's just saltiness from losing to a jungle Mundo right before you posted. Your team comp was absolute trash against a Mundo and was made even worse by the fact that your Lucian built Stormrazer instead of Botrk; no wonder you couldn't kill him.

Oh, and early jungle DrMundo is super hard and techy and requires very, very specific sequences of camps and builds to keep him viable. It is so easy to end up losing a fight to a camp in the first few levels that you'd be stunned.

If you're against a jungle DrMundo, pro tip - ask your team for an early invade or two, when he least expects it. His pre-6 game is poo on a shoe anywhere and that is magnified by a serious multiplier in the jungle. If you catch him out doing basically any camp in the first few levels he has to basically run away or die.

He's like Nocturne - the pros deal with these choices and champs by doing their best to utterly starve them early.

Mundo's only real weakness is people who can run him down and kill him regardless. Nasus come late-game, Fiora, Jax. The champions it's basically impossible to ever escape from, and who can build (or already have) the sustain to survive him.

Other than that, it's mostly just making him have to run away, and then using the fact that he's not there anymore.

pick garen and execute him at half health. ( make sure hes da villian )

Mundo is a fighter/tank that counters burst and can be a decent threat but he has no CC. That's his existence.

We have other tanks like Cho'Gath with same capabilities but slower.

Kinda funny that before they buffed his ultimate sustain and his E he wasn't even a problem

HMMMMMM I wonder what the problematic parts of Mundo currently are?

Thilmer8/23/2018, 2:49:07 PM1 votes

He has a really old kit and is in bad need of a full VGU.

His early game is super weak, I don't see him as fundamentally unbalanced. There are plenty of LCS games where the opponent rushes item 3123 and he gets shut down too. He's a champ that forces an opposing playstyle, but there's a lot of that already with item 3140 too and I don't feel it breaks the game.
