Playing as Dr. Mundo
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Master Yi
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't run alone from his R
Against Highlander (R), don't run alone: regroup with your team, because he gains speed and ignores slows.
- CC him after his Alpha Strike
If you have CC other than a slow, land it right after Alpha Strike (Q): during the strike, he's untargetable, and Highlander (R) ignores slows.
- Interrupt his Meditate
If you have CC, interrupt Meditate (W): he channels it to heal, more at low health, and to reduce the damage he takes.
- Pressure his jungle early
Put pressure on his jungle early on: Master Yi is strongest once he has his items, and each stolen camp delays him.
