Udyr

Ok I'm not one to usually complain about a champion in particular, but there has to be something Riot can do to nerf Udyr. there's no reason he should be that tanky and not have to really build any sort of tank items. Is it me or does anyone else think Udyr is a bit too good?

Wile Udyr is a tanky champion thanks to is turtle stance, e does not needs rebalancing, unless RIOT is willing to give him a descent Gap Closer. As @ValyrianBlade mentioned does not have an ultimate, meaning he has no huge burst, no great engage, basically, nothing amazing like most Fighters. Udyr is very easy to kite, if you ward well, he will have a hard time even getting close to you.

Easy to kite with 590+ move speed and damn stun? how is that easy to kite? no burst have you eaten his bird stance when udyr build like 20 ap? it does like half my health as a zed player

Just lost another game to the unstoppable Udyr backdoor. We won lanes but all he does is run off and tank a whole tower destroying it in a few seconds. You have to send more than one to stop him if he has a wave. If you get to stop him his team can take other objectives easy while he just runs to the next turret over. It's not satisfying gameplay. Losing to it doesn't make me feel like we got outplayed fair and they deserved a win.

In my opinion udyr is actually better than most people claim he is but he also isnt as overpowered as some think he is... yes he is easy to kite but if he catches you odds are he will either kill you force summoners or atleast do enough damage to force you to back... he is meant to be a tank who engages in teamfights allowing his team to take less focus he is also good at peeling for his team mainly his adc or mid... But yes he has no huge power spike like the others say but that is because he doesnt need it he is strong throughout the whole game and very balanced

He needs his tankyness and then some. You do realize he's one of the few champions that have no range attacks? He has to be given enough tankyness to be able to get in your face. Otherwise, he'd be kited to death by every other champion.

If you wanna nerf Udyr for his tankiness without tank items, you should nerf Taric for his damage without damage items, Vi, for Herr damage without damage items, Leona for Herr tankiness at lvl 3, Vayne for her damage even when building her tank (it's rely fun, you should try it), the new Sion for being able to kill anyone in 10 hit kills regardless of how much health they have or what items they built during his passive... I can go on all day if you'd like, but Udyr isn't OP, especially not for his base stats. Now if you wanna complain about his kit, go ahead, and I'll counter everything you say with "He has no gap closers". Otherwise, stay away from the Godyr

Please don't do anything to my main. The guy has been with me since I began LoL. It's hard enough with the nerf on the bear stance. Don't make him one of those champions. The champions that no one wants to play anymore since a huge nerf.

I agree with the OP,he is way too tanky for having just health most of the time and way too damn fast unless you've got an Ashe ulti arrow or dump all of your CC onto him.He also does a truckload of initial and continuous damage with Phoenix/Tiger stance so not only is he tanky as all hell and quicker than everyone,he can solo your ass with his stupid DoT.Unfortunately,as another commenter said,while you're taking care of your pest problem in one lane,his team is doing work in another lane.He's just a very cancerous champion with an annoyingly tenacious playstyle that is just unhealthy for the game itself.

Udyr isn't even a very meta pick right now. He's a solid option for non competitive levels of play maybe (I see him a lot in normal drafts) but he seems to not cause many problems... Most notably he doesn't have an ultimate ability so there's no huge threat that he'll completely destroy you before you can react. Ward well and he can't do much.

Udyr's great strength comes from the fact that he can be built an infinite number of ways. He is not inherently tanky( Aside from his shield), and needs defensive items a lot.
