I'd like to know what Riot thinks about Udyr

With the metoric rise of Udyr out of the jungle with this new Jungle item. I'd lie to know if Riot thinks that Udyr is ok, or if they think he's over tuned?

Udyr's gameplay has always been more of a me-centric no-teamwork style of play that it's clear that Riot doesn't like, so please someone come in here and tell me what they think of where he's at now, the fact that he's spiked HARD and the fact that he's back to his 1v5 gameplay raidboss style of carrying.

i think mana regen is better now so can spam a bit more. items were good on him, though new items benefit a lot of champions.

I wrote this regarding making him more teamfight viable: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/9hhEG4dB-udyr-bear-forms-passive

In his current form he'll always have his weakness. really best counter is good map rotation to prevent him from split pushing/gates and trying to force team fights as udyr isn't as useful in team fights. he cannot create wombo combo scenarios that much or protect his carrys very well especially from assassins.

He is pretty bad due to him being easily kiteable he has no early pressure against other popular junglers right now. When he is behind he is really difficult to be used to full effectiveness. I think he is weak in my opinion since the early game is what matters the most right now.

You guys are talking about all these ways he struggles, and how he's kitable, and has a weak early game, but he's the 2nd highest winrate behind Graves in NA, at a Riot Declared unhealthy rate of 54.2% of games played being wins.
