So Udyr's not on the VGU poll because...

...he'll be getting updated this year, right Riot? Because it's not like his design isn't as ancient as some of the most blatant examples on that poll, or the fact that skins aren't being made for him based on the fact that his model is just that outdated and in general difficult to make skins for. I still think Gragas's base model is the ugliest thing in the game, but his actual gameplay is okay enough that he doesn't really warrant a VGU. People actively buy Spirit Guard Udyr just so they don't have to look at his base model.

This is mostly from the V perspective rather than the G, but that's mostly because I'm bad and can't really speak on that. Riot, pls update Udyr.

Yeah, I was honestly shocked Udyr wasn't there but Shyvana was. Shyvana needs work but compared to the other 5 champions (and Skarner) her art and gameplay is godly. I'm honestly worried she's going to get it, I would be fine with the other 4 but Shyvana is so popular because she isn't terrible that it might guarantee her update. Plus, lots of eastern countries will vote for her because of the dragon angle.

Hopefully Udyr and Skarner have updates in the works and that's why they weren't on the poll. I know they've started Udyr VGUs in the past and canceled them but maybe they found a way to make it work this time.

I think, don't quote me on it. It's because Udyr will be after Pantheon, they said a champion might get released before the 2020 champion voted for in 2020 Panth is 2019.

I'd have to assume the only Champion this could be is Udyr, Shaco and Zilean are getting skins so they are not the choice. Cho Gath and Singed are probably the only other 2 that could fill that slot.

Pretty much answered your own question right here. As much as I agree that Udyr is one of the ugliest things in this game people pay $25 for his VGU. As far as I see riot has no reason to do anything, sad as it is.

Also gotta love the kit where depending on what you build you only have 3 abilities. Didnt old Sion have the same issue lol
