Dear RainbowEuphoria, this is the first anon. I did not realize we were entertaining Dr. Mundo vs Volibear dueling scenarios, rather than simply comparing the capabilities of each ability. I was not hashing out the entire scenario, merely bringing up three ways that Volibear's innate could be considered superior to Dr. Mundo's ultimate, since nobody had mentioned them yet. You will (and in fact, already did) note that I did not bring up the movespeed or the lower cooldown, not only because they are ways that Dr. Mundo's ultimate is superior and thus outside the scope of my post, but also since you were so very kind as to bring that up in the post immediately above mine, rendering the statement of such information entirely redundant.

You also did not address any of the information I provided. You made an attempt at refuting the power of the ability being available at level 1, but then for reasons completely beyond me, made the point of Dr. Mundo being able to activate Sadism after Volibear's innate was used. Which implies that 1) Dr. Mundo is winning the lane anyways and 2) that Mundo is at, or very near level 6 and thus able to use his ultimate. My issue with 2) is that this level 6 or near-6 scenario does not cover the entire scope of 'available from level 1', and in fact ignores most of the relevant scope, namely pre-minions up until about level 4.

I am not here to state that one ability is better than the other. I am only here to point out factoids that seem relevant, and occasionally write over-long responses for no other reason than I can. With enough irony that it wraps around to sincerity again: anon.

Postscript: It might be better to compare how Volibear and Dr. Mundo would perform in a situation if you replaced one with the other, rather than pitting the two head-to-head. Often a more important question than "who would win in a fight between these two" is "who is more useful, in terms of power, utility, survivability, or otherwise, between these two?"
