Dr. Mundo or Sion?

NegaDKR··1 votes·1,971 views

I've been in need of a good tank in top lane for a while now, and both Sion and DrMundo have caught my eye. I played Dr. Mundo a fair amount during last weeks free Champ rotation and I enjoyed him a lot, but I've been hearing many good things about Sion for a while now and am having some trouble deciding between the two. What are your opinions? Which champion do you think I should get?

Champion wise Sion > DrMundo Sion team utilities is far superior than mundo. He is able to peel better and doesn't suffer from the horrible early game mundo has to go, while still able to scale quite well thanks to the passive on his shield. The only real reason to play mundo over sion competitively is either because you enjoy playing him or you are against an AP top laner since item 3065 works better on mundo as first item than sion.

Sion. In virtually every way except damage comparisons super late game, Sion is going to operate more smoothly. No weak early phase where you have to hope to last hit with cleavers... instead ridiculously good waveclear with the bonus reward of getting free health from it. Plus he can go top or jungle with equal ease, and has better mobility. Both can be played around, but it's just much easier to make Sion work over Mundo

He is actually pathetically weak early game right now since they gutted his shield early on, and if you want to take him jungle be prepared to suffer hard for about 15 minutes of the game. Believe me, I mained Sion jungle for several months, picking him up right after the rework and only dropping him when they gutted his shield and made his jungle nearly impossible to survive early on. It's still doable, but nowhere near as effective as it used to be.

Sion is better in so many ways its not funny.

Sure Mundo's passive and ult make him a great sponge... but thats all he is. Sion can take it, AND dish it.

Get Gnar though. He's basically Sion 2.0' Stuns longer, stuns faster, better burst health, long range slow skillshot

Mundo deals a crapton more damage than Sion later on though, which is why he's listed as a fighter rather than a tank. He only builds tanky so that he can survive running headfirst into the enemy team to murder their carries.

Sion is a much better pure tank since he is almost as durable but has better CC and utility, while offering less damage.
