keep in mind i am not an experienced udyr player, i just have an interest in making sure he comes out of this in good shape, so take it with a grain of salt
Tiger feels very bad. This is my biggest gripe for sure. The 6-second DOT that refreshes instead of stacking or reapplying as burst feels very anti-synergistic with the AS steroid. Right now it only feels good for applying the DOT once to get the AS steroid and then switching to Phoenix. I would like this stance to be a little more valuable on its own, as someone who really likes playing Tiger builds.
Turtle and Bear stance don't benefit from his new passive. This strikes me as a very confusing and annoying thing. Both stances could stand to be made a little more interesting and I think this new passive would be a very good way to implement that.
Passive giving CDR feels weird. I'm not sure if this is constricting his build paths or opening them up. I'm much more comfortable with having 40% CDR at all times because it lets me cycle through Bear Form for mobility, but that quickly becomes gold inefficient once you build your passive up. I'm finicky about this; it feels good-ish early game but not so much later on, especially when so many tank items have gotten CDR stuffed into them.
it's a decent start, phoenix feels really good with triforce and fervor, but i think this needs a little more work
