Major Dr. Mundo changes hit League of Legends' PBE set to improve his late game scaling

On November 16, 2022, League of Legends developers released a series of changes that they are bringing onto the PBE with regard to Dr. Mundo. These changes are expected to make him a lot more viable toward the late game.

Dr. Mundo is one of those champions who has been invisible from the League of Legends meta for quite a long time. He used to be a pretty strong champion in the solo queue, but certain nerfs have put him at the bottom of the tier list.

The changes that the developers are bringing will hope to revive him at least a little bit. Even though players feel that the changes might not be enough, the developers feel in the long run, fans will get the hang of it.

As mentioned previously, Dr. Mundo is one of the champions who is set to receive major changes. However, apart from pushing him toward the late game, the developers are also trying to make him a jungler instead of a top laner.

In any case, the changes that the developers are trying to bring in League of Legends which will allow performing the aforementioned roles have been provided below.

Thus, in terms of changes, things are definitely looking better for Dr. Mundo. The two major changes will be his monster damage increase and increased healing near enemy champions at rank 3.

These two skills make it quite clear that Dr.Mundo is being pushed toward a carry jungler in League of Legends, who will scale later in the game and punish enemies. In any case, to understand the full impact of these changes, players will need to wait all the way until patch 12.23.
