Scaling health yellows is very risky. It makes mundo very

vulnerable to cheeses early, tower dives, and makes his
laning so much more difficult for the little benefit that you
get from health scaling seals (180 HP @ 18?)

SOME NOTES ON THIS SPELL

You can use the threat of teleport

to force your opponents in a
different lane (say, bot lane) to
retreat from what would be a
winning position for them. Mundo's
TPs isn't a strong initiate like
lissandra's, but his TP is a really
strong counterinitiate (your
opponents are about to initiate on
your team, you TP to a ward on
their flank)

I'm largely unhappy with this

Also, I recommend sticking to a

with this kind of formatting:

Good spoiler. I'd word it more like
if you die more than once in a

farm. Try to not die anymore, and
not deny yourself any more
experience by dying again.

If you're flanking your opponents,

your opponents can just run
straight through your own team's
squishies.
Clean this section up more.
Instead of engaging on your
opponent, force your opponent to
engage on you by pressuring
turrets. Speaking of which, how do
you help your team siege turrets at
any particular stage of the game?
How do you position yourself?
Sticking to the carries is a terrible
idea unless you can actually get to
them.
As mundo, you need to be
proactive about zoning assassins
from team fights. Having no hard
CC, it's very hard for you to protect
your carries from the assassins
once they get past you. You have
to do as much damage to them and
slow them as much as possible
while the assassins try to walk past
you
