What the Data Means

38.2% is a severe number, and 110 games on patch 16.13.1 is enough to explain it rather than argue about the decimal. Goes Where He Pleases lets Dr. Mundo resist the first immobilising effect that reaches him, paying health and dropping a canister he can pick back up. Malzahar’s win condition is Nether Grasp landing on someone who cannot answer it, and that passive is a free answer that recharges.

Infected Bonesaw deals damage based on current health and slows, so Mundo pokes from range while spending nothing — he has no resource bar at all, whereas Malzahar budgets mana across Void Swarm, Malefic Visions and Call of the Void. Maximum Dosage then heals a percentage of missing health instantly and regenerates more across its duration.

The opening minutes still belong to Malzahar. A 500-to-125 range advantage, Void Shift’s damage reduction and magic damage meeting only 29 base magic resist are all real.

None of it survives contact once health items arrive, because percentage healing scales with the pool it refills, while 18 base armor and 2,297 health at level 18 leave nothing for a long fight. Mundo reaches 2,391 health with 108.5 armor and moves at 345 against 335, so he closes distance whenever he decides to. Farming safely and looking for roams beats hunting a solo kill against a champion rated 5 for difficulty who needs no perfect execution to win.
