Dr. Mundo vs Varus Matchup Summary

The Dr. Mundo vs Varus matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 71 recent matches analyzed, Varus wins with a 53.5% win rate compared to Dr. Mundo's 46.5%, giving Varus a 7.0 percentage point advantage. Varus dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Dr. Mundo players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Dr. Mundo leads by 1,289 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Varus has a strong advantage in this matchup. Dr. Mundo players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Varus overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
