Udyr need love.

I'd stopped playing for quite a while, so I don't know when it happened, but apparently at some point Udyr lost his mana gain in turtle stance. Combined with the mana regen changes that also happened while I was gone, he's basically useless without Golem buff until halfway through the game, and even then he can't really stay in fights for long periods of time stance-dancing without some kind of mana item. Even in the jungle with jungle item mana regen, he runs dry really fast without Golem.

Considering the increased difficulty of the new(er) jungle, this feels broken/not working as intended/Riot forgot Udyr again.

Possible Solutions: a) give a flat quantity of mana back on-hit in turtle stance, based on skill level (2/4/6/8/10)(bonus of 0/1/3/5 per stack of monkey) b) give a mana regeneration buff while attacking in turtle stance, based on skill level (25%/50%/75%/100%)(bonus of 0%/20%/40%/60% per stack of monkey) c) give the old percentage-based mana leech back d) make turtle stance a "free" skill (no mana cost, purely cooldown based) and leave it as-is otherwise

Please discuss.

I want an excuse to buy his "uber" skin without feeling like I wasted that money on a gimped champion.
