Not in this meta but usually yes. You build a ton of health and resistances and Mundo is supposed to heal off everything meanwhile the damage he deals starts to wear the enemy down.

Mundo wins fights through attritution. Even whittling you down with cleavers means he's poking you to a state to where you could reasonably killed in a prolonged engage.

I don't think I've ever seen a Mundo use Ravenous Hydra. Mundo's ult is actually very safe but you have to have a lot of health and percentage health runes and masteries help. It's utility though so you only use it when your health is low not when you are in combat per se.

Mundo deals attack damage on only one move and it deals more with the lower health he has so again. More health to lose more damage to deal. Q and W however deal magic damage so some sort of penetration could be warrented even if it's just the dual penetration mastery (although it's a little too deep for you to get without sacrificing very core defense tree masteries).

So your trouble I assume is that you aren't gaining a damage to sustain advantage against the enemy. You also might not be getting the tenacity you need (although W does provide that when it's up and tenacity stacks poorly).

Be sure to build all sorts of health and then ontop of that some kind of penetration possibly dual and then build the resistances needed to survive the majority of the enemies damage not just the AD or the AP.

Spirit Visage is good but I wouldn't rush it against AD champs and Randuin's and Warmog would be more what you would want to gun for in that event. Black Cleaver would help if you find the trading in melee attacks to be lacking and the new Scepter that's being made would give Mundo additional damage to deal while lowering enemies resistances to burning agony.

They probably won't stack but due to how long Mundo tries to wear down an opponent you might want Sunfire's. Possibly even in lane.
