Udyr needs some serious adjustments.

Hi, former Udyr main here. I often lurk on the Udyrmains subreddit, where several diamond+ udyr one tricks hang out and post about udyr.

Unfortunately, those one tricks don't really exist anymore. Just about all of the udyr OTPs that I know of have had to learn other champions and abandon Udyr unless they fall in love with Tiger stance, but tiger feels like an entirely different champion to me.

There was a math post on the subreddit explaining that in his current state, his damage reductions from nerfs are equivalent to that of a permanent EXHAUST. Udyr feels terrible to play and basically has to be built tank now for Phoenix, but tank sucks because things like gragas and reksai and hecarim and skater exist, and you know what? They clear fast than him, too.

I'm not proposing a complete reversion to the nerfs, because for a little while, udyr really was broken. Unfortunately, he's completely useless now and isn't worth playing at all. His biggest nerfs were base damage nerfs, which is terrible because that's all udyr has! His entire kit is auto attacks, so meeting base damage nerfs literally every single auto attack in Phoenix stance heavily. An ap ratio nerf made zillions more sense, especially because the devourer and rage blade changes needed the hell out of his on hit oriented build as well.

So please, Udyr needs some compensation. After devourer removal, Yi and Shyvana were compensated, but Udyr was forgotten and now he feels as forgotten and pathetic as Yorick and Urgot and old Taric. He needs a serious update, and he's not getting a rework any time soon, so compensation buffs are really required here. Thansk for hearing out my rant.
