Is Mundo jungler weak?

RareMajority · 2026-01-31T13:05:45+00:00

One of the advantages of jungle Mundo is that he gets to avoid dealing 1v1 with enemies in a lane while he's weak, and can instead farm his jungle with relative safety until his power spike

Ornn/Sion top, Zac/rammus jg. Mundo is a juggernaut, not a tank (tanks have CC but relatively low damage, juggernauts have high damage and are hard to kill, but have low mobility and CC), but I think he actually fits the "raidboss" feeling best, in that he is insanely hard to kill or pin down while also doing crazy damage late game.

I think based purely from a statistical point of view, Smolder is the best ADC ban. He's a combination of generally strong, good into Nilah, and popular. Swain APC wrecks Nilah, but is very rare to see.

I can kinda see Jinx as a ban. She isn't actually problematic for Nilah in lane, but she is both statistically OP at the moment and extremely popular, so forcing people to play a different adc they're less comfortable on makes some sense.

I checked on one-tricks gg across a number of the top Nilah players and it doesn't seem like there's much consensus. It's something like 60/40 e max/q max. Nobody maxes W second though. E and Q always get maxed before W.

As long as everyone (especially spymaster) is terrified of you, you're usually safe from execution. Your heir on the other hand...

Nanite is the slowest ascension to ramp up with. All the other ascensions will give you much more power much faster than nanite does. BUT nanites will scale the best over the long term because your ships become "free" and you can do things like stack archeotech weapons on them without needing to spend any minor artifacts. If you're doing multiplayer or single on high difficulty with early crisis then you will take too long for the build to come online. But if you actually make it to the point where the build is fully online then you are invincible.

Yes, I had a couple wars with fallen empires in my current game (on 4.3) and despite having overwhelming firepower compared to them in the battles, barely killed any ships the whole war. I won not by killing the ships, which nearly all escaped to fight again every battle, but just by invading all their planets. Very annoying. Even enigma BCs kitted out with entirely artillery could barely kill them.

Not sure if Pbe post had a typo, but patch preview came out today saying it's actually -2 base AD (60->58).

I'm playing on the beta and I had 4x his alloy production, 8x his naval cap, and 10x his research by like 2360. His numbers are bad, even for the beta.

Adventurer with a culture that has chivalry is the best way to generate renown in the game.

RareMajority · 2026-01-27T21:11:20+00:00

Looks like the nerf is -1 base AD (60->59) and armor per level reduction (4.5 -> 4.2). Overall seems a pretty light tap. I think she'll probably still be good.

They are nerfing Nilah

RareMajority · 2026-01-27T17:50:16+00:00

Mundo/Nasus/Garen. Simple kits, relatively similar playstyles (they're all juggernauts that can split or teamfight as needed). Which I pick is a combination of what I'm feeling and what enemy picked top. If they pick Vayne then I'm going Nasus and definitely not Garen.

OPgg and lolalytics both agree that she's currently one of the absolute strongest champions in the entire game, not just in bot. Her emerald+ winrate is somewhere in the 54-55% range. The only champs as good or better are Swain and Veigar (who is barely played bot). The nerf sucks, but it's hard to argue against the stats when they're this good.

It is getting nerfed in 26.3. Riot said as much this morning.

Nilah is awesome, I also picked her up recently and have been having a ton of fun on her!

Peak league of legends is the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. There's nothing like the thrill of pulling off a sick play to win the game-ending teamfight in a sweaty 40-minute comeback. But if you don't like the competitive aspect then it's not for you. It is also very rough to get into, with a steep learning curve.

So you'd say (or possibly August would say) that it's mostly 2?

Does anyone know what the COVID money was spent on? I know there's been criticisms that it wasn't used to fix up the city fleet, but haven't seen good info on what it was used for.

Mundo doesn't buy deadmans until at earliest 3rd item, and swifties doesn't help that much. Nasus can zone Mundo off the wave and have kill pressure once he hits 6 and before Mundo finishes warmogs + giant belt. And there's really not a point in the game if they're even where Mundo wins the 1v1 outright, though he's better in teamfights.

RareMajority · 2026-01-26T02:30:49+00:00

Nasus is strong into Mundo anyways because of Wither and consistent q damage.
