@Danz, I said a nightmare to play, as in, "playing as him is next to impossible because everyone tunnels the marksman 24/7".

@Vhaegor, please show me all of these "pro games" in which you see Mundo getting Thornmail, because I've been keeping track of nearly every recent LCS game and I've yet to see a Thornmail on any Mundo; thus far it's been mostly Warmogs, Spirit Visage , Randuins , Sunfire , etc. Prove to me that you're not talking out of your ass.

The magic damage you're dealing WILL be made weaker by the fact that you're not building any magic penetration. %-based health won't mean shit to that SV-toting raidboss unless it's true damage. However, you WILL be penetrating armor AND critting for about a good eighth or so of their health thanks to IE. Your auto-attacks are literally your highest form of sustained damage, always have been, always will be.

The one-to-two-second snare still doesn't do shit. It won't stop anyone capable of outright insta-bursting him from doing so and anyone capable of sticking to him will still stick to him. He has no mobility, so he can't kite worth a damn. Mundo's just going to huck a cleaver in your face while he's being violated by tentacles, Shyvana's just going to press W once she breaks free, Zed's going to be a ninja, and I could go on and on.

As long as everyone's diving the ADC, Varus is going to have a hell of a hard time staying relevant.
