Mundo can't do poo poo vs. Poppy. He stacks hp against a champion that has max%hp magic damage and high AD ratios that power spikes just as he does. Mundo doesn't offer enough pressure to kill Poppy in lane early so she just free farms to that sheen/TF rush.

The game won't last long enough to get to 6 items at this rate, but it's 4/0/3 Poppy with the highest CS in the game so I don't know that it would take that long to get to 6 items

If she gets six items, she can and will 1v5. Under two towers.

My heart is stopping. Poppy is such a loving strong champion.

It's that feeling when your extremely out of meta, but favorite champ, gets picked and validated by the pros.

Phreak it doesn't matter how much hp mundo and ryze stack, Poppy with Bork and Triforce is going to insta-kill them with all the %hp hybrid damage she throws down on them.

It's not going to happen. If she was laning against, say, Irelia or Ryze, Poppy would just lose half the cs in lane and have a hard time reaching that point.
Mundo just feeds. No pressure.

And if you feed a double kill (instant sheen) Poppy will win from snowballing.

She's just an odd counter pick that worked very very very well.

edit: Also two enemy champions that stack hp in their core itemization are going to be hosed hard by the %hp damage.

Like they were saying on the desk, they won't ban poppy, they just won't first-pick mundo.

I love me some Mundo but I honestly don't get why he's strong in competitive. He just kinda sits there and never wins lane except for that one time Dyrus on Mundo dumpstered Ackerman on Ryze. I don't get what comp he fits in or what role he serves in any team other than just being general "front line". But I don't understand what makes him a better front line than picks like Maokai.

He has a literal 165% health (178%, post visage), plus like an extra 10% from his passive that lets him shrug off all poke that isn't supercommitted or coming from an ultra fed carry. Maokai looks like absolute poo poo compared to Mundo when it comes to pure tanking because his ult is much worse at giving him more EHP in exchange for the rest of his kit offering more initiation. The issue is that, when sieging, you don't need more initiation than 'walk into the tower, run at carry so he can't attack your own shootman', and Mundo can do that all too well. That's his job, to end games by letting your carry shoot towers in peace. It's pure brute force and it wins games.

Mundo can't do much early and has no pressure, but he splits fairly well and does a very respectable amount of damage being built pure tank. In team fights he peels and catches well if you can land clevers and his ult lets him stay relevant through out a prolonged fight. He's just an all around solid and safe pick.

Poppy did exactly what Mundo does but also kills two or more people, so yeah. If I see Mundo in solo queue I'm definitely going for the top Poppy pick.
