Talk:Dr. Mundo/@comment-20434720-20140211050535

The thing about massive free AD steroids is that they really start looking strong once they can crit... and Mundo has easily the largest AD steroid in the game. And he stacks tons of health.

Why do people NOT get atma's on this guy? at 4k health it gives 60 AD, valuable resistances and enough crit chance to make people go "OH" when you hit them with it. Consider that with just atma's and your E for offense, a mundo can (assume 50% health) hit over 300 (total) AD. Wowwwwww.

Mundo crits your AD carry with that and you may find yourself ragequitting XD because he does all of that with just his kit and a hybrid offense/defense item.

Thinking about that makes me wonder what Mundo's potential with an added ravenous hydra would be like. Obviously it would sacrifice some tankiness, but would the damage be worth it? People often get lifesteal on aatrox and spellvamp on morde because they cost health, so why not do the same with mundo?

Said theoretical build would go something like... merc treads, spirit visage, warmog's, sunfire, atma's, ravenous. Factoring in runes and 9 points in offense tree you could reach 400+ AD during E steroid.

Said build could easily reach 4k health, and resistances would sit at about +90 armor and +80 MR. So you would still be very hard to kill, but your squishy-killing potential and waveclear would increase to a ridiculous level. Also, because ravenous hydra has such strong synergy with raw AD instead of crit, it wouldn't be out of the question to heal up for 100 with each swing at a minion wave.

Theorycrafting this kind of stuff makes me want to try it on mundo... even though he's fotm right now...

And yes, I know the build is missing penetration, but the idea is to largely use all the free AD and stuff for blowing up squishies - what mundo does best! Besides, mundo already has decent magic damage with his cleavers, sunfire, and burning agony, so if they itemize heavily into armor they'll still get badly hurt.
