Playing as Dr. Mundo

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke with your bonesaw

    Poke with Infected Bonesaw (Q): it slows the first enemy hit, deals damage based on their current health and restores your health.

  2. Pick up your canister

    Pick up the Goes Where He Pleases (passive) canister after resisting a CC: it restores health and lowers the passive's cooldown.

  3. Detonate your Heart Zapper

    Recast Heart Zapper (W) next to a champion: the burst heals you for a bigger share of the stored damage if it hits a champion.

  4. Cast your R after taking damage

    Cast Maximum Dosage (R) once you've taken damage, not before the fight: the instant heal depends on your missing health, then you regenerate part of your max health.

Playing against Malphite

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Pop his shield before trading

    Break Granite Shield (passive) with a cheap hit before taking a real trade: it absorbs 10% of his max health and triples his bonus armor.

  2. Lean on magic damage

    If you deal magic damage, lean on it in trades: his only resistances come from Thunderclap (W), which only gives armor.

  3. Trade when his mana runs low

    Trade when his mana runs low: Seismic Shard (Q) costs 70 to 90 mana, and it's his only ranged slow.

  4. Respect his level 6

    Once he hits level 6, only step up if he's visible: Unstoppable Force (R) comes from far away, nothing stops it, and its impact knocks every enemy in the area into the air.

  5. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Unstoppable Force (R), spread out from your allies in teamfights: the impact knocks every enemy in the area into the air.
