Do people like Udyr's in-game model?

Disregard the SGU skin. It might be one of the best skins in the game, but it's not what this is about. Udyr's original model is a stiff, dull, awkward blob that no one in their right mind would prefer over the smooth, flowing model of Vel'Koz, or the colorful textures of Heimerdinger.

Udyr's skin feels like a pit Riot threw you in, and the only way out is to pay 30 dollars for a ladder. Look at the others who had gotten an ultimate skin. At least the original models of Sona have a personality with it, as a gentle, floaty lady with a huge personality( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). At least Ezreal doesn't have a clip-art cartoon of an animal appearing over his head every time he uses an ability.

Seriously. The animal stance icons that appear over his head are TERRIBLE. They're barely a visual effect when compared to what Riot's created lately. Cool, they retextured his model to be a little smoother for the new Rift, but that doesn't change his boring model and effects that mirror his actual gameplay.

Riot maks you pay 30$ to get the udyr VU.

SGU should have been a visual update instead of a 30 dollar skin.

To be fair, Udyr is one of the first few original champions, I believe he was the first one released after the open beta, I doubt his model would be on par with champions that were released a year ago, he does need a VU though.

I think Singed was the original champion, and if you look at his model/particles, he certainly fits a recognizable character with a personality. HE LOOKS GOOD. Singed's only problem is his gameplay, which involves only running around to deal an AoE DoT, with one mechanic nobody uses.

I have SGU on one of my accounts (this one) and I can only play Udyr on it. His default is pretty bad.

No, udyr was the first after game's release but still it's outdated but sadly his VU costs 30$ so w/E.

Ironically, Riot member Steve 'Udyr' Mieczkowski stated that Singed was the first champion to be created in the game.

Ironically Singed is the first champ created after the "original" champions HOWEVER that was BEFORE game release. After game went out from beta the 1st champion was Udyr.

That does not change Singed's visual superiority, despite an earlier creation. Your comment is also not ironic at all... and false. Singed was not the first to be released, but was the first to be designed.

Well, he is one of original set of champions, so it's no surprise he wouldn't look as flashy as the other champions.

Every skin he has would be on par with his ultimate skin (which I find to be very unimpressive for the price) and primal would surpass it if done reasonably well.

Their excuse, of course, is 4 models being required.

It's too much work. He'd need a new rig that changed for each of his stances, and a re-skin for each stance. Then a re-skin of each stance for each skin except SGU and maybe Definitely Not Udyr.

That's two or three champions worth of work for the pay off of one champion. I can see why Riot is hesitant to do it, but at some point even they will have to look at him standing on the new rift next to all the new/updated champions and go "That guy doesn't even look like he belongs in this game anymore".

His classic skin? Yeah, it sucks. IMO he has the worse classic skin in the game, by far.

Yeah his classic needs some work.

Primal, FNAF, and of course SGU looks good.
