Why nerf Udyrs base stats ON THE SAME PATCH you nerf Swifties AND Runic Echoes

Have you learned absolutely nothing?

By nerfing items and champions at the same time you are forcing players down a certain path to make up for said nerfs (being forced to build Runic now because building no AP makes you significantly weaker than it was before).

20 Damage is a pretty significant nerf to his shield which is often used several times during a skirmish. Let's not forget that he has had 0 changes since SEASON 4 and just now has become a problem since the AP jungle item rework and the buffs to swifties.

Your logic is flawed.

Him being able to use it several times during a skirmish is WHY it needed that nerf.

Actually they've posted that the nerfs are more directed at his Devourer build, because his AP build will be taken care of with the Runic nerf. Riot think Udyr is overpowered regardless of what items he's getting right now.

imo udyr has irelia syndrome. no matter how much you nerf him he will still be useable.

holy fuck why is this even a thing that is happening Devourer setup is fine, considering how that jungle item doesn't help him stick to enemies, in addition to how there is literally every other Devourer champ in the game that abuses it just as well if not more

and then they do another Sejuani despite the backlash Is Riot even doing these changes? Are you sure it's not some alien?
