Mundo Buffs (PBE)

[quote=Re4XN]As you all probably know by now, I am the last person in the entire world who still plays [[Dr. Mundo]] and guess what? Rito has decided it is finally time to buff him. They added (sort of) an on-hit effect to his E which behaves as follows: [[Dr. Mundo]] deals an [color=#0080ff]additional 5% of his TOTAL health damage on his next basic attack[/color] and increases AD by 40/55/70/85/100 plus 1 for every 1% missing health he has. To me, who has played this guy for ages, it looks like a very, VERY good buff. Let me bore you with some math! [[Dr. Mundo]] has, at level 6, 934 health, 73 base AD. With [[Sunfire Cape]] and [[greater seal of scaling health]], his total health at that level becomes 1455,82. 5% of that amout equals to ~73. That, in addition to 40 AD from level 1 [[masochism]] plus 73 base AD equals to ~186. AND, if [[dr. mundo]] happens to be missing 50% health, that's an extra 20 AD, which brings us to the grand total of ~206 damage on one basic attack at level 6 (not counting resistances), which is HUGE! His [[masochism]] already melted through low-health targets like ADC/APCs, but now it will just delete half their health in 2-3 autos. I can also see [[masochism]] being taken at level 1 instead of [[infected cleaver]]. If Mundo happens to be missing 70% of his health at level 1 (let's suppose you all-in your opponent) and activate his E, your first auto-attack will deal ~162 damage (not counting resistances)! That is pretty much an execute (not really, but it IS huge) at level 1. At full health, [[masochism]] deals little less damage than [[infected cleaver]] so I think it will definitely be something worth testing out. What do you guys think? Will he become a better fighter? What do you think about [[Titanic Hydra]] [[Dr. Mundo]]? Also, correct me if my math is wrong, I fuk'd up in the middle and I am not sure if I fixed everything. EDIT: LoL Wiki states that Mundo's AD is increased by 1 per 1% health he has missing, but MOBAFire states that is increased by 0.4/0.55/0.7/0.85/1. I am ALMOST 100% sure MOBAFire is wrong, because his [[Burning Agony]] has the same outdated tooltip, but just for the sake of maths, I did it with 0.4.[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje]Dont think it will change much. He'll be a better laner and duelist but it doesnt change a weak early game and the amount of matchups in the current meta. If anything, it changes the point in time in which Mundo can start taking over a lane.[/quote]

[quote=MrMad2000]I think this is going to make him incredibly strong when [[dr. mundo]] gets the right matchup. Before, he was always strong when he's allowed to scale and then get an ideal teamfight where he can zone the carries, and sometimes even kill them 1v2. This is going to help him when it comes to dueling, but of course as Vynertje said he will still be a weak early game laner who need an ideal situation to [b]shine.[/quote]

I am not sure what you mean by "amount of matchups". Are you trying to say counters? [quote=MrMad2000]I think this is going to make him incredibly strong when [[dr. mundo]] gets the right matchup.

If Mundo was able to win easily against some champs, he's going to be able to shove them out a lot earlier (maybe even before level 6?). Zoning should become easier too, since that one auto attack can disembowel carries, but I can't say anything until I test it. Anyhow, it was good to see Mundo is getting some attention from Riot. Thanks for your opinion guys ;)[/quote]

[quote=parrot6632]i've played mundo for forever... also i build titanic hydra reguarly on mundo now. it gives him sooo much damage while only taking away a tiny bit of tankiness[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]I think this is a Juggernaut-like buff for Mundo, thats why they increased the damage by a lot. Also, since we see less and less [[ignite]], with [[teleport]] overtaking mid lane, Mundo gets stronger as well. BTW: Tooltip is right, 1% of 40 is 0.4, 1% of 55 is 0.55 and so on. Wiki: [quote]For 5 seconds, Dr. Mundo gains bonus attack damage, increased by 1% per 1% of his missing health.[/quote][/quote]

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the tooltip, since [[Burning Agony]]'s tooltip is incorrect (ALL CC is reduced, not just slows and stuns).[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]I found out that the following build is very effective: [[teleport]] + [[ghost]] [[mercury's treads - distortion]], [[spirit visage]], [[dead man's plate]], [[Titanic Hydra]], [[warmog's armor]], [[sunfire cape]]. [embed=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA6C2P5QPr0] No more cleavers, rather Hydra+E = 1200 damage.[/quote]
