Mundo.

What is his role supposed to be? He's supposed to be the regen tank but zac does it better. He has no hard cc, he scales off of nothing, and he doesnt even get that thanky till late. He also is very easily countered by nomicon/ignite

Thoughts?

Countered by one summoner spell and one AP item.

This is a weakness to you?

Well, those things availability is pretty... huge.

One cannot be changed to in the middle of a match (so it sucks for a blind pick player) and the other would be a waste of gold if you don't build with its other benefits in mind.

Honestly the only reason I think Mundo isn't breaking the meta is because of botlane BS.

I think Mundo is actually pretty strong right now. What do you see as his problems?

I feel like his passive could be something more personally, such as being slightly decreased but increase based on missing health... personally.

He's pretty strong. He's a great baiter, and he's annoying overall.

So is Swain..Mundo is just like Maokai in that you just soak damage and slow enemies for your carries to kill. A bit like Amumu too I guess (though personally I think Amumu needs a nerf) in that you're just slowing them down for others to kill and forcing people to hit you. Past 6 in lane he shouldn't be dying, if he takes ghost over flash. A safe pick but reliant on a damage heavy team. He does need a rework though as seemingly every other tank is getting some kind of % HP dmg or have more useful teamfighting ults. Take a qss on him and ignites aren't a problem. If an apc is getting close enough to Mundo to hit him, he can cleaver them back as it gives quite a substantial slow on quite a low cd, and past laning phase his abilities are pretty much free. Think of him as a maokai with less cc but more sustain dmg.

Build Mundo full tank and you don't need scaling damage abilities - your role is not bruiser it is the tank, your base dmg from flaming thing + cleavers and ad buff are enough to hurt squishes a lot in long fights. Also I meant swain also gets shut down by ignite and morello

Mundo.

What is his role supposed to be?

Juggernaut.

Tanky DPS. Unlike Darius, Garen, Skarner, and Morde - he's actually seen a lot of competitive play as a tanky DPS champion as well. Mostly due to insane jungle clear speeds with his base damages. (Riot did mention Nasus as a juggernaut in the juggernaut update)

But he's a slow-moving, hard-hitting, unshakable behemoth. He goes where he pleases.

He's supposed to be the regen tank but zac does it better. He has no hard cc, he scales off of nothing, and he doesnt even get that thanky till late. He also is very easily countered by nomicon/ignite

Mundo isn't supposed to be like Zac.

Zac is a tank. Tanky CC. His roll is initiating fights and locking down priority targets. Mundo is a fighter. Tanky DPS. His roll is lasting long enough to kill things.

Despite both having regeneration, there end-goal is miles apart: which is why Riot bothered naming Tanks and Fighters Tanks and Fighters rather than just Tanks. Also worth noting pretty much every fighter or tank not named Riven has HP regen on-par with Zac. Also worth noting the only champion that can really match Mundo for regen is Swain, who is in that weird Singed/Morde/Vlad/Rumble classification of generally being a juggernaut despite being a Mage/Fighter instead of a Fighter/Tank.
