Spirit Guard Udyr needs to be fixed!

Greetings, Riot and the fans.

I'm a huge fan of the character, Udyr, and play him almost every game (or, at least I did, when I was playing the game more often). When I first started playing Udyr back in 2013, I fell in love with him instantly. I loved playing him so much, when I found out he was getting an ultimate skin, I exploded with excitement. Upon arrival, it was the best thing I could have asked for and it improved my experience by several magnitudes.

Fast forward to today, this skin does not live up to its original standard. It's supposed to have different voice overs for each stance, with some additional voice overs upon evolving those stances. However, as of a couple of months ago, this hasn't been the case. Instead, all forms mimic the Bear Stance. Instead of, "All I see are soon to be ashes," I get, "You'd look better after a good mauling," while taunting in Phoenix Stance. I get "I love honey... but bees. Ugh," instead of, "The turtle is one part fortress, one part mobile home" when trying my joke in Turtle Form.

On top of this, I'm also having other issues emerge throughout the course of any game. I'm not entirely certain what triggers it, but certain stance sound effects bleed into other stances. When I go to press my Bear stance to run faster, I get the cry of the Phoenix on top of the roar of the Bear. When I try to use my shield from Turtle Stance, I get the roar of the Bear on top of the moan of the Turtle. This becomes extremely annoying and confusing - especially as a gamer who relies heavily on sound effects in their experience of a game. When your screen is half way up the lane and you hear the shouting of a Tiger when you press Bear Stance, you wonder if your keyboard is broken.

This needs to be fixed. I was moderately "okay" with it and laughed at it when it first happened, because I thought it would be fixed in the next patch. Here I am, now in February, and even more bugs are starting to appear on top of it. The quality of this skin is rapidly degrading and no longer justifies the cost. This needs to be addressed soon, or this shouldn't be marketed as an "ultimate skin."
