Hi Guys, my name is Strider and I am a Master Yi main on the NA and EUW servers. I know what you're probably thinking 'wait, you're not Hashinshin, you're just some random pretending to be him'. I understand how the title of the guide can be confusing, I put Hashinshin's name in the title because I wanted to publish a guide on how NA's super top plays the Madman of Zaun.

PROS + One of the tankiest champions in the entire game + Insane sustain with his passive and Maximum Dosage + Really good damage numbers for how tanky can get + Can splitpush and teamfight well + A very good counter to magic damage based opponents

CONS - Weak early game - easily kited since he has no mobility abilities - Countered by tank shredders like Master Yi and Kayle - Lacks hard CC. Only has the slow from Infected Bonesaw

#1. Masochism 2 / 4 / 5 / 7 / 9 #2. Infected Cleaver 1 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 13 #3. Sadism 6/ 11 / 16 #4. Burning Agony 3 / 14 / 15 / 17 / 18

> > > This is the standard skill order used by Hashinshin. Most Dr. Mundo players max Infected Bonesaw first but Hash opts for Blunt Force Trauma first. Blunt Force Trauma increases your AD by a good amount, in addition to bonus damage on the first hit which scales with your health. Blunt Force Trauma can also reset your auto-attack timer meaning you can use to double-hit and deal a lot of damage in a short space of time. Infected Bonesaw is maxed second as this ability is core to Dr. Mundo's kit. He uses it to farm safely from range or poke down your opponent, as well as to slow enemies chasing him or close the gap on a fleeing enemy. Heart Zapper is maxed last since its only use is for pushing waves and when you are all-in'ing an enemy champion. Of course, put points into Maximum Dosage whenever you can.

SUMMONER SPELLS - FLASH: Flash is one of the most fundamental summoner spells in the entire game. There is a reason every player takes this spell no matter who they're playing as save for a few exceptions like Yuumi. The ultility provided by it and its capability to be used offensively and defensively make it an invaluable summoner spell. Hashinshin takes this in every game he plays so you should too. TELEPORT: Teleport is the best summoner spell to run as a top laner. The reason it is used so much is because the lane is so much longer, so people use it to get back to lane quickly so they wont miss out on too much minion experience and gold. If you get ganked and die it can be very helpful to be able to return to lane instantly and not have to many consequences. It is also great for providing pressure in the late game as you can be splitpushing on the other side of the mpa from everyone else and when a teamfight breaks out you can teleport in to help them. Or you can use it to backdoor the enemy team.

KEYSTONE Grasp of the Undying is the best keystone to take on Dr. Mundo. It gives him everything he needs, more damage as well as limitless health stacking every time you proc it, and Dr. Mundo is a champion who can utilize bonus health better than most others in the game. STRENGTH RUNE Hashinshin always says his secret strategy to winning with Mundo is to take tower plates, and the easiest way to accomplish this is to take Demolish. Demolish will help you destroy turrets much faster than what you usually could and will help you apply a lot more pressure on the map because your split will be more deadly. RESISTANCE RUNE Hashinshin usually runs Conditioning here because it does give you a bunch of stats for the late game, and most soloq games especially in low elo do end up going late because the opposing team is unable to end. When against a poke heavy lane champion like Teemo or Vayne he switches this out for Second Wind so he can regenerate more health.

VITALITY RUNE Its almost as if this rune was made for Dr. Mundo, it allows him to increase his health pool even further, making him even harder to kill. You even make use of it outside laning phase just as long as you are near dying minions this rune is scaling. HEROISM RUNE Hashinshin has gotten to used to playing with Triumph that he just likes to run it on everyone now lol. No but for real Triumph can still be really useful even on Dr. Mundo as it restores a portion of his health after a takedown allowing him to stay in the fight either getting on that carry or protecting his own. LEGEND RUNE Legend: Tenacity is not a bad option on Mundo as you may initially think. Dr. Mundo has a very hard time accomplishing anything if he is hard CC'd, thats why picking up this extra tenacity can help him keep going on those targets he needs to be going for.

For your Rune Shards the first one is always going to be , this is because the bonus attack speed will help us in early game trades as well as last hitting minions. The second one is situational, you want to take a resistance rune that counters your lane opponent, so if you're against Tryndamere go or if against Rumble go . For the last one you usually want to go but if you wish can take another resistance shard.

Sunfire Cape

Ninja Tabi

Spirit Visage

Sunfire Aegis, Ninja Tabi (most of the time, can be switched for Mercury's Treads) and Spirit Visage are going to be the three major items you are building every single game. Sunfire Aegis is built first because it helps us with wave clear as well as more damage when we all-in an enemy. After Sunfire we want to upgrade to tier 2 boots, most games Ninja Tabi will be the right choice as most top laners and junglers are AD but if there team is heavy on magic damage then do not hesitate to go for Mercury's Treads instead. After boots we want to build Spirit Visage, this item gives us a ton of HP, MR, CDR but most importantly it multiplies the healing we get from our ultimate Maximum Dosage, this is why this item is built every game on Dr. Mundo, its simply too good to pass up.
