Playing against Dr. Mundo

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Grievous Wounds is MANDATORY against Mundo — his R regenerates up to 50% of his max HP.

2

His Q is his only gap-closing tool: dodge it and he can't catch you.

3

% max HP damage (Vayne W, Kog'Maw, Liandry's) counters him since he stacks HP but few resistances early.

4

Ignore Mundo in teamfights if possible — focus the carries and kite him, he deals little damage compared to his tankiness.
