Is Udyr balanced?

It seems like he runs you down, stuns, sticks to you and you're dead. Oops I got within vision range, because counterplay.

Udyr is too dated to be balanced. He either walks at and kills you or he gets peeled to death

then your positioning is bad. udyr is far from op, being able to kite easily and lacking any ranged abilities.

Has higher Movement speed. Has higher Damage. Has higher Defenses

Just straight up runs you down unless you picked champions that counter him exclusively. You can't really kite him since he's running at mach speed, especially in the river.

I would say with all the mobility and easy to access CC on most champions, yes. He's the only champion in the game to be nearly consistently invalidated by just slows alone. Even then, pushback moves like Azir R, Vayne E, Poppy R, Ziggs W, and more can destroy his entire engage.

I have played udyr top a few times and I can confirm that this is the most annoying and best counter to Udyr if he doesn’t have flash up.

The main reason that he is balanced is because getting to people is a giant pain in the ass

I used to main Udyr for a little while back in S6/7 and while he's super fun, once you see a Vayne, Tristana, or Lee on the enemy team, your heart sinks a little bit. :/

It sinks even more when the enemy team picks Darius immediately after and he goes conq. And they have an aggressive ganking jungler like Camille.

This is the exact reason why I also never play things like Volibear, Garen, or old Aatrox. Any sort of peel or kiting whatsoever on the enemy team and you're completely useless. But then whenever an enemy plays those champions, they roflstomp and make me wanna play them >_< Feelsbadman

He is surely no balanced only when you are a melee . since he is a great duelist and wins most of 1v1 melee duels but he is fairly kite-able

The main reason that Udyr is balanced is because, like other juggernauts, he has to literally run up to you to engage. His engage is so easily telegraphed (unless he has flash or you have no vision of the brush he is in) that he kinda has to have a shit ton of damage to make up for it.

He is the literal idea of juggernauts that if they catch you then you die. But for me personally Udyr is actually one who is fairly balanced with his damage, overall he relies a shit ton on his items to split and fight. And I say that because when I get behind as Udyr I fall off pretty hard pretty fast, there is almost nothing that I can do besides bear stance because I don’t have the damage to fight in skirmishes team fights or 1v1’s nor the resistances to reliably tank for my team in any of those fights.

Sort of. He does unreal amounts of damage that no champion in league can compete with, but he's not going to be able to apply that damage most of the time because he just walks up to people.

unhealthy design but in terms of actual gameplay balance he isn't particularly overpowered and can be easily cucked by many champs

Udyr is fine but in the hands of a capable player you gotta respect him.

Udyr is definitly super op. Reading "ez to kite" and then playing vs him with fulltank oneshotting you and 1k movespeed xd? Legit he can 5v1 as soon as he got 1 item that grants movespeed because that give hi overall base speed of 8000000000 and well, every 3 auto attacks deal 300% dmg with having the highest base ad of 151 +trinity making that double
