Isn't it about time to consider buffing Udyr?

He was nerfed horribly in the devourer meta, devourer was removed, and runic echoes was nerfed. When devourer was removed, he was left with an extremely weak phoenix form and his tiger form which has always been crap.

Basically Udyr is a crappy Hecarim at the moment. Fast, fair damage but weak defensive abilities so he's forced to get quite a bit of bulk from items. Udyr doesn't really want any of the jungle enchantments and both of his damaging forms are stupid weak right now.

Can we show him some love? Whether it's reverting the W and R nerfs or lowering his mana cost so he doesn't run oom in 2 camps, he needs something because he's performing even worse than Shyvana right now and she at least got a buff already.

Please no.

If he gets buffed, he's going to be perma-banned again.

He's already plenty strong and I can actually play him whenever I want.

Tbh, its never appropriate to buff Udyr.

He has some absurd broken build right now that has yet to be discovered. Not to mention that, with how his kit functions and the itemization in the game, he ends up just being a split-push threat that essentially can't be answered if he's ever decent.

Speaking of which, he's decent right now. Just teamfighting is so absurdly one-sided the large majority of the time that Udyr can't really shine at what he currently does well. Meta issue, not champ issue.

So no, never, ever buff Udyr.

Also, the jungle enhancements being nerfed hardly affected him.
