Udyr's current state

Why has Riot absolutely forgotten about Udyr? He is not competetibely viable because of mobility creep. He struggles against majority of the champions because of how easy it is to escape from him. Against a decent team he can't do a single gank because you can just outward him. He has been taking a ton of indirect nerfs: celerity, scuttle spawn delay, reduced exp gain from jungle camps, the recent damage ratio on tiger... That's a lot in one season timespan. And instead of compensating for all of these he gets welcomed with a poll of potential champs to rework, and he is not one of them. All 5 champs in the poll had a kit which somewhat works and has it's place. And a champion which literally only walks and basic attacks gets ignored. That is truly unfair to him, to one of the oldest champions in the game. And saying that he recently got a skin is not an argument, this is just a "here, take that and shut up for now", and that's not a good way to solve things

Nocturne, Trundle, Leona, and others are right there with Udyr. Sitting in a state of playable, but never a good pick.

Meanwhile they partial rework/buff Garen for no reason Lel.

What do you want them to do? Rework him? They’ll probably change a lot of his kit if they do that, and most Udyr players won’t like that.

Udyr is a best in low elo tho... I play him and only him (atm) in jungle and he is stomping everyone and everything. Was playing Evelynn and Elise before and it was MUCH harder for me.

If Riot buff him... All better for me but I hope that attention will not make him weaker 😅

Also... Lets rework phoenix into ultimate!

Nocturnes saving grace is the same as Udyrs. they are playable, because they are easy to play. mastering them from a microplay perspective takes 20seconds. All the player really needs to focus on is knowing when he can or cannot "go in".

Udyr doesn't have a saving grace. And he literally CAN'T get to melee range. If he managed to get close to you then you simply fucked up. Nocturne doesn't have this issue and he is extremely strong in 1v1's because you can actually afford to build damage and not get screwed up for that. Udyr's damage doesn't increase after lvl 9. The only thing that changes from that point is how tanky he is

Youre obviously biased. Nocturne is worse than udyr lol.
