Current League

Goes Where He Pleases

Dr. Mundo resists the first Immobilizing effect that hits him, instead losing Health and dropping a chemical cannister nearby. Dr. Mundo can pick it up by walking over it, restoring Health and reducing this Ability's Cooldown. Dr. Mundo also has significantly increased Health regeneration.

Coming from current LeagueEvery button costs health and there is no passive cheat-death; Burning Agony left on while walking through the jungle can kill you, and Sadism only regenerates health rather than saving you from burst.
Remembering Dr. Mundo in 2013Masochism's MR-on-damage passive (added in patch V7.15) is not period content, and whether Classic includes it is unknown - play as if it does not.
