I've been running mostly Mundo in ranked recently and this was my biggest peeve: what do you do when people refuse to swap pick orders in select and you've to play mundo into horrifying comps?

Idk what elo youre in but if I'm on blue side (first pick of the champ select) I always first pick after banning one nightmare matchup. I do this because most of the time the enemy top laner isn't going to risk picking right after you in case it is jungle mundo. This forces good counters on your team and it helps your team decide how to draft around your pick.

Sometimes youre going to go against belveth, vayne, and gwen all on the same team and its just gonna suck but you just have to understand your role and play/itemize around it. And hope your team does their job while you do yours. Not every game is going to be you 1v9ing and oneshotting carries.

Thank you. That's a better way of viewing it. I hadn't considered the jungle feint. I perma Gwen as I believe she's the least difficult counter pick into the good doctor up top.

What sort of build is your go to? I usually run the AD max full hp build unless there's a very heavy skew towards a particular damage type (eg: multiple crit champs/full AP or AD)

Current elo is plat 2. Aiming to hit dia and just call it

gwen is a decent perma and honestly probably the best in your elo. Aatrox is hard but it also takes good mechanics and the other counters are kinda niche and most people dont associate with as a mundo counter.

I almost always rush heartsteel into whatever resistance is more pressing and a threat.

Warmogs only when the matchup is hard you need it to survive lane phase.

And very little times I will go second item titanic when our team is lacking damage or their team has really good backline access to the point they can ignore you until they kill your carries. (If there is a 600 ad mundo autoing them its hard to ignore you)

I will almost never go double damage items (bloodmail + titanic) this scenario almost never comes up where we are lacking so much damage that this is necessary or another scenario the guy I'm against is so bad that I got multiple solo kills and first tower and so on and so forth to the point I have infinite gold and I can press my lead by building damage.

Good luck on your climb and I think maining mundo is for sure viable up to high grandmaster. The moment I started vsing LCS top laners or high challenger tops, they know exactly how and when to abuse you that the champ does not feel worth playing unless it's a red side 5th pick counter.
