Early game (levels 1–5)

You dominate the early lane — Mundo's only ranged tool is a slow Infected Bonesaw (Q) you dodge on reaction, and he has no gap-closer. Poke him constantly with Bouncing Bomb (Q) to deny CS, though his passive and W sustain mean you're building a farm lead, not threatening a kill.
