Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Dr. Mundo (5.5% pick rate, 8th most popular out of 62 Top champions) versus Gangplank (4.1%, 16th place). These two top lane titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb.

Win through macro: Dr. Mundo takes the matchup (53.98%) despite falling behind in CS (6.28 vs 7.87/min). Your victories come through roaming, team fighting, and map pressure rather than 1v1 lane dominance. Complete superiority: Dr. Mundo dominates both win rate (54.0%) and damage output (934 vs 828/min, 2nd among Top). The 106 damage/min difference creates massive snowball potential. Intriguing anomaly: Dr. Mundo wins the matchup (54.0%) despite a lower KDA (1.80 vs 2.10). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Gangplank as Dr. Mundo (Top)

The Dr. Mundo versus Gangplank matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Dr. Mundo deals mixed damage - the opponent has fewer options for defense. Gangplank has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Gangplank, ranking 4th (versus 43rd for Dr. Mundo) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.1 versus 1.8) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Dr. Mundo Top versus Gangplank Top matchup

    Dr. Mundo tips:

    • A well-timed Sadism can bait enemy champions into attacking you even when they lack the damage to finish you.
    • Spirit Visage will increase the healing done by your ultimate and lower cooldowns on all of your abilities.
    • Cleavers are a powerful tool for killing neutral monsters. Instead of returning to base, farm neutral monsters until your ultimate can heal you.

    Playing Against Gangplank

    • Parrrley deals a high amount of physical damage. Items that grant Armor can help if an enemy Gangplank is doing well.
    • Once Gangplank reaches level 6, watch out for his global-range ultimate, Cannon Barrage!
