Dr. Mundo's rework makes him the freshest champion while we wait for Akshan's arrival in League of Legends. The rework arrived in 11.12 for one of the oldest faces in Riot Games' world; giving the self-proclaimed doctor new tools and a new look.
While he seems balanced, he doesn't really excel in any role, and is suffering due to his genericness.
What Riot Games is proposing on the PBE is not just a buff; but a complete overhaul. With this, Dr Mundo will no longer find himself in the toplane, instead giving him more tools to compete in the jungle.
All PBE changes:
Attack Speed at Level 1 increased from 0.67 to 0.72.
Attack Speed ratio is still 0.67.
Passive Health Regeneration changed from 2% to 1% - 2% (scales with level).
Cooldown increased from 45-15 to 60-15.
Damage Cap against monsters increased from 300-500 to 350-500.
Health refund on monsters is now 100%.
Bonus damage to monsters increased from 140% to 200%.
Now always displaces small monsters immediately.
If anything, these changes will hurt toplane Mundo as his passive health regen has dropped at early levels; while the the buffs he receives have no impact on the role. However, the increased damage against monsters and attack speed will to improve his jungle clearing.
Obviously, this does not mean toplane Mundo is no more, Mundo goes where he pleases afterall, but it is now less optimal.
Viego's reach has extended across Runeterra. Riot Games has recently released a new trailer with several key regions of League of Legends being invaded by the Black Mist. However, in the dark there is hope - The Sentinels of Light.
