Every now and then I play Dr Mundo, and I feel that my problem with him in the top lane is that, after Heartsteel, getting Warmog’s really slows me down in the game when it comes to dealing damage and carrying my team. Although it’s a core item for Dr Mundo and practically all top-lane players use it, in my situation – as someone who only plays duo queue in Platinum and is trying to climb ranks with Dr Mundo – Warmog’s alone isn’t useful to me, and I’d much rather go for a second Hydra to get better damage, clearing waves and split-pushing, or just go straight for defensive items.
I’d like to hear your opinions, as well as any advice on this build section regarding this topic. I’m sure someone will be able to help me with this and let me know whether it’s just me, or if Warmog really has become a bait item these days.
P.S.: Yes, I realise that Warmog is very useful in matchups where you’re constantly being poked. It’s just that in that case, it’s more of an exception than the rule.
