LORE OF DR.MUNDO

In the wards of Zaun’s infamous asylum, a single monstrous figure roams the halls. His methods are bold, his bonesaw is sharp, and his patients are terrified. For this man is no doctor at all, except in the fancy of his own mind.

Though his true name has been lost to both time and memory, Dr. Mundo was once an enforcer for one of Zaun's most powerful chem-barons. Known for his boisterous affability, he was remarkably good-natured for a man who made his living off physical intimidation. He was always quick with a familiar nickname and a friendly clap on the back, and often blissfully unaware of the toes he was stepping on. It wasn’t long before he had stepped firmly on the toes of his boss.

Determined to make an example of his underling, the chem-baron had him committed to Osweld Asylum—a place well known for its inhumane treatment and questionable cures. The baron watched with satisfaction as his enforcer was placed in restraints and dragged away to the padded confines of the asylum’s most secure cell.

As months went by, the enforcer suffered unspeakable horrors at the hands of his supposed caregivers. Experimental treatments were rendered without concern for the patient's well-being. Nerves were prodded, lobes were severed, and unproved medicines were administered in large quantities. The enforcer began to change, his large frame gaining more muscle by the day. His brain, however, suffered a far worse fate. As he lost all memory of his past life, the enforcer struggled to make sense of the cruel world around him. He looked down at his old restraining jacket—it almost resembled the white coats of the medical professionals that surrounded him.

Misreading the words on his own uniform, he began to assume a new name and new profession for himself.

I must be a doctor, too. Why else would I be in this wretched asylum? he reasoned. And all these other people... must be my patients.

At last, the day came when the chem-baron arrived to discharge his enforcer from the asylum. To his surprise, there was no one to greet him in the lobby. The halls were empty and dead silent, save for the faint, incoherent babbling of a deranged patient in a room at the end of the hallway.

The baron entered the room to a horrifying sight: Scattered across the floor were countless bodies—staff and patients alike, dismembered beyond recognition. Standing above them, a hulking, purple monstrosity blathered unintelligibly as a large blue tongue lolled out the side of its gaping mouth. Muscles bulged grotesquely beneath its undersized garments, and its fist tightened around the handle of a surgical saw. The baron turned pale as his gaze found the face of the monster—and recognized it as his old enforcer.

The enforcer, who recalled nothing of his old boss, saw only another patient in desperate need of treatment. The purple thing lumbered toward the chem-baron, wagging his bonesaw in anticipation. The baron drew his chem-tech pistol and fired. The shot tore through the looming mass in front of him, staggering the monster...

But only for a brief moment.

The hole in the creature's flesh quickly closed as new slabs of muscle rapidly regrew over the wound. The monster paused, eyed the baron quizzically, and uttered, “You sick. Need help!”

Mimicking what he had seen performed countless times by the asylum's former practitioners, the enforcer threw the man on a nearby gurney, strapped his arms into the restraints, and prepared his instruments for surgery. The chem-baron turned pale as he realized the grim fate that awaited him.

The ensuing surgery—like so many before and after it—was not successful. The burgeoning doctor added the remains of his latest patient to the pile on the floor. Though he was saddened he could not save them, he knew he had done all he could. Besides, he would have other chances. Zaun was full of sick people just waiting to be cured. With a smile returning to his face, he left the hospital and set out into the streets to find more patients.

RUNES OF DR.MUNDO

TIPS ON HOW TO PLAY WITH DR.MUNDO

1. Master Your Cleavers: Dr. Mundo's Q ability, "Infected Cleaver," is a skillshot that slows and deals damage to the first enemy hit. Mastering the skillshot and understanding its range is crucial for harassing enemies in lane, securing kills, and disrupting enemy positioning in teamfights. Practice landing your Cleavers consistently to apply pressure and create opportunities for your team.

2. Manage Your Health: Dr. Mundo's passive, "Adrenaline Rush," grants him increased health regeneration based on his missing health. Use this to your advantage by trading aggressively when low on health, as you will regenerate more health over time. However, be mindful of your health bar and avoid overcommitting to fights that you cannot win. Properly managing your health will allow you to sustain through prolonged engagements and remain a threat in teamfights.

3. Build Tanky: Dr. Mundo excels as a tanky bruiser who can absorb damage and disrupt enemy backlines. Prioritize building items that increase your durability and survivability, such as Spirit Visage, Sunfire Aegis, and Dead Man's Plate. These items will not only make you harder to kill but also enhance your passive health regeneration, allowing you to stay in fights longer and apply consistent pressure to the enemy team.

4. Use Ultimate Wisely: Dr. Mundo's ultimate ability, "Sadism," grants him a significant amount of health regeneration and bonus movement speed for a short duration. Use Sadism strategically in teamfights to increase your survivability and sustain through burst damage. Additionally, consider using Sadism before engaging in fights or diving towers to mitigate incoming damage and maximize your effectiveness as a frontline tank.

5. Prioritize Target Selection: In teamfights, prioritize disrupting enemy carries and squishy targets with your crowd control and damage-dealing abilities. Look for opportunities to dive into the enemy backline and apply pressure to high-value targets like the enemy ADC or mid laner. By focusing on disrupting enemy positioning and threatening key targets, you can create opportunities for your team to secure kills and win teamfights.

TIPS FOR COUNTERING DR.MUNDO

1. Apply Grievous Wounds: Dr. Mundo relies heavily on his health regeneration to sustain through fights. Applying Grievous Wounds, which reduces healing effects, can significantly diminish his survivability. Items like Executioner's Calling or Morellonomicon, as well as abilities like Ignite or Bramble Vest, can apply Grievous Wounds to reduce Dr. Mundo's healing.

2. Build Anti-Tank Items: Dr. Mundo's strength lies in his tankiness and ability to absorb damage. Building items that shred through armor and magic resistance, such as Lord Dominik's Regards or Void Staff, can help you cut through Dr. Mundo's defenses more effectively. Additionally, consider purchasing items with crowd control effects to help control Dr. Mundo in teamfights.

3. Kite and Disengage: Dr. Mundo lacks crowd control and mobility, making him vulnerable to kiting and disengaging tactics. Champions with ranged poke, slows, or disengage abilities can effectively kite Dr. Mundo and chip away at his health from a safe distance. Use your mobility and crowd control to create distance and avoid extended trades with Dr. Mundo.

4. Apply Pressure Early: Dr. Mundo's early game can be relatively weak compared to other champions. Apply pressure on Dr. Mundo in the early game to deny him farm and experience, preventing him from reaching his power spikes quickly. Coordinate with your jungler to gank Dr. Mundo's lane and set him behind early.

5. Execution: Dr. Mundo's ultimate ability, Sadism, grants him a significant amount of health regeneration for a short duration. Try to burst Dr. Mundo down quickly or ignite him when his ultimate is active to reduce the effectiveness of his healing. Coordinate with your team to focus him down in teamfights and prevent him from sustaining through extended engagements.

6. Mortal Reminder and Bramble Vest: Items like Mortal Reminder and Bramble Vest are particularly effective against Dr. Mundo. Mortal Reminder applies Grievous Wounds on hit, reducing his healing, while Bramble Vest reflects damage and applies Grievous Wounds on basic attacks, making it difficult for Dr. Mundo to trade effectively.
