How to beat Dr. Mundo as Yorick: the early game

Level 1 is even farm — Infected Bonesaw (4s) chunks you off your current health and slows, so sidestep it and last-hit with Last Rites. Goes Where He Pleases resists the first immobilise that hits him, and his regen refills whatever you poke off, so don't start an HP war. Soak XP and set up your level-2/3 spike.
