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 Renekton
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade when he's under 50 Fury
Take a trade when his Fury is under 50: above that, Ruthless Predator (W) destroys your shields and stuns you twice as long.
- Trade after his dashes
Take a trade once he has used both Slice and Dice (E) dashes: it's his only way to reach you or get out, on a 16 to 10 second cooldown.
- Back off when he casts Dominus
Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts Dominus (R): he gains max health, builds Fury every second, and damages enemies around him.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Renekton looks to get ahead in lane, before everyone has their items.
