Is There Any Way to Buff Udyr?

I know that Udyr is one of those champions that can take a small buff and turn it into a huge difference, but I still thinks he needs some minor buffs. Not anything huge as I play him a ton and since i have quite a bit of games with him I normally do great with him due to my skill with him instead of his raw power as a champion.

With all of the mobility in league these days it seems so hard to play udyr effectively. I see myself rushing tier two boots before i finish my jungle item half the time then right after i finish it I buy Alacrity. For example, I played against a kalista the other day and that was the most unfair thing I have ever experienced in league. I had tier two boots and ghost and she had tier one boots with no flash and i couldn't even touch her and she kited the living hell out of me. I am not saying this one isolated instance should be the reason he gets buffed but I see this kind of stuff happening more often than not.

The other big thing about mobility is most champions have an easy way to travel over walls that udyr doesn't. Not saying they should give him one but he needs a way to be able to chase the 70 percent of champions that can traverse walls. I mean look at the most popular junglers,

Lee Sin- Two ways to get over walls Elise- Can E over walls Jarvan- E-Q Over walls Vi- Q and R over walls Gragas- E over walls Wukong- E over walls Etc. Etc.

I am not asking for a large buff really, but my ideas are as follows and I am looking for one or maybe two of them not all of them.

  1. Udyr's Bear Stance Gives him 5/10/15/20/25 percent tenacity when activated

  2. Landing a stun in Bear stance reduces the cooldowns of Udyr's other stances by 1 second

  3. Tiger Stance applies a 10/15/20/25/30 percent slow for the duration of the DoT

  4. Turtle Stance grants increases health regen based on missing health and reduces all damage taken by 2/4/6/8/10 percent. Reduces Udyr's Movement Speed by a flat 30

  5. Upon entering turtle stance Udyr gains a shield that either reflects damage back at the attacker until it is destroyed or heals udyr for a percentage of the damage dealt sort of like Galio's shield.

  6. Upon entering bear stance udyr gains 15/20/25/30/35 attack damage and deals 5/10/15/20/25 percent increased damage to the first target he stuns.

  7. Addition to his passive- If Udyr kills a target while he has max stacks of Monkey's Agility all of his stances cooldowns are reset.

Again I was just hoping for 1, Maybe 2, of these not all of them to push Udyr into the meta and strengthen him a little bit.

Thanks for reading and comments are welcome :)

Grasp of the Undying: Every 4 seconds in combat your next attack against an enemy champion steals life equal to 3% of your max Health (halved for ranged champions).

I think he'll be fine. Course you could not build him tanky, idk.

I don't think Udyr needs a buff but any buff would be welcome other than the one that reduces ms on turtle stance. In terms of getting kited I play with a ton of ms on him and people can't really out run me. Another point on that, you should be moving past the enemy in between your autos in order to keep up.

I wish they would consider giving him some light buffs, especially now that he's quite UP/weak
