quote Vicarious

I have been thinking about using him a lot lately but I am not sure if I want to spend my points on it riht now. Sounds like he can be a very good character though and I have been needing a tanky character seeing as I HATE Volibear.

He has to go jungle, top lane ruins him pretty bad. So if you need a fast jungler with decent ganks, he's a good choice for the moment.

This is something Crystallux might be able to pull off, but it's probably a little squish for anybody who doesn't have t3 runes and access to the entire defensive mastery tree yet (lv21). It might be possible at a lower level, but I would imagine it's not easy to do until you get your ult, and even then it'd be a little ehhh.

Skill build: WEQWWR WEWER EEQQQR QQ
Q is pointless to level much, leveling it gives no extra ganking potential and WE makes for much faster and easier jungling anyway. If you plan to steal the enemy's red after doing your blue, you start with WQE instead, since you can cleaver red from the back and drag it to you, which is a little important for actually stealing red effectively.

Items:

• Cloth&5, Boots&3, etc etc
• HoG
• Boots if you didn't already

From there you can split up a multitude of ways depending on your needs at the moment. Warden's Mail, Spirit Visage, and Wits End are all relatively common choices, could also run straight for a Warmogs or something I guess. Shouldn't ever need a Wriggle though, Mundo's clear times are ridiculous, he doesn't need it.

Mundo early on takes damage in jungle, he'll get low more often than I was used to at the start. It's because his jungle clear times end up damaging him, but if you actually time it against other junglers, even factoring in the time it takes to walk back, it's very fast. Generally I can do wraith>red>wolf>wraith on my first pass pretty easily, but will end too low to gank.

Well last season in ranked, I got DEMOLISHED by an irelia top lane. Like, I was one of the major reasons we lost that game. I did ask not to go top :/. And I don't play top enough to know about counters and such. So jungle creeps > mundo early? I'll keep that in mind. And mundo support is so bleh. Once they remove HoG, what exactly does one build?

Answer: You don't go Support, Mundo can't support, he's terrible at it.

For jungling, I'll probably just speed a different item that's more useful to his overall build. A rushed gp10 item in jungle is "the thing to do" right now, especially HoG, because there's no reason not to, and it furthers your progress for later. Once it's removed, it's not especially going to be a problem for Mundo Jungle, just have to slot in something more appropriate for that phase of the game.

Mundo Early:

Decent ganks (come in from behind, cleaver when it would be impossible to miss anyway), incredibly fast jungle clear speed (he's one of the best last I checked), good counter-jungling/brawling

Mundo Late:

Tanky DPS, not a Tank. He runs in and causes havoc with the large amount of free bonus AD he receives from E, and the AoE carnage from a maxed W. Roams around in a teamfight generally being obnoxious and sticking to targets like glue.

He can't be put anywhere but jungle, but he does do well there, and transitions well into late-game with the correct build and team.

Yeah, but any smart Mundo gets E at level 4.
3 if he's looking to gank then.

tbh I get E at 2. Mundo's always generally low during early jungle, having E just makes his clear times really nice. I run WEQWWR for early jungle clears. Q's gotten just in time for it to matter with a second buff camp, using the baseline jungle path of all jungles.

I've been liking Sorc Boots with Liandry's on him for a while now. Sure Tenacity is useful for him but if you're being CC'd as Mundo you're probably winning the teamfight anyways. Meanwhile that MPen with current health burn just shreds everyone.
