What was wrong with Dr. Mundo?
His reworked abilities were not as intuitive as his older ones. It has caused a lot of confusion for players, especially Dr. Mundo mains who have gotten used to his abilities. Many Dr. Mundo mains aren’t excited to be playing in the top lane.

The bonus AD is being taken from his ultimate Although it is difficult to believe that Mundo would have AD problems, the addition of AD would be in his E, along with health scaling. This would mean that it would start earlier for players. These changes will make Dr. Mundo more popular.
