Why would you increase ap ratio on phoenix udyr ?

I dont think anyone builds ap jungle item anymore on him. Makes you just too squishy. That buff is useless.

I mean they are just buffing his damage , and probably will watch how it effects him. Literally the most boring buff they could have given him though, they should have went with that buff that makes him take reduced or completely negates crits during turtle stance. That was the most interesting buff they were thinking of giving him from their list.

but they aren't actually buffing phoenix udyr's damage, especially after the rune rework when natural talent will go away and be replaced by adaptive runes that will probably still default to AD for Udyr even if he's phoenix.

Guinsoo's is an item that I think probably should be good on Udyr, given his focus with on-hits and attack speed. I imagine this change is intended to give phoenix a little more oomph with that combo without making him build the AP jungle item.

Udyr's W shield also has a .5 Ap scaling so building AP bolsters his already decent defenses as well.

That looks nice on paper. But have you actually played ap udyr ? You get blown up, no matter the 30+ shield dmg you get. No reason to play ap udyr over elise, fizz or someone like that.
