Where is the love for Udyr?

First off, even though I'm talking specifically about Udyr lemme say this could apply to anyone's favorite champ that gets no love from the gamplay-balance team. Udyr is personally one of my favorite champs, maybe it was inspiration from Trick2g stream but I don't know he seemed like an interesting and fun champ. But for way too long Udyr has been difficult to play because he went straight into the ground.

I've been constantly talking with Riot's support helpers and asking for some info on why Udyr hasn't not received any attention. All they told me is I cannot talk directly with a gameplay-balance team member and I can't keep messaging them. Udyr has gone seasons with only minor updates and also failed minor updates. Want to make this clear I am not trying to complain, I am trying to be a voice of motivation for Udyr to become a playable champ again. I'm not the type to post on boards or anything but after talks between Riot support crew they said it was the best way to get gameplay-balance team members to notice. I tried asking if I could speak to them directly but the would not allow it.

I understand that Riot is a very successful company and has a lot to manage. I get that they care more about champs that are played in the pros and LCS but they have got to think that most players aren't pro and just trying to have fun with their favorite champ. Udyr has gone unnoticed and I am tired of him being a terrible champ to play because he gets out-kited or out-scaled. I'm asking for him to have a complete rework, not some tiny reworks. Like for god sake they REWORKED URGOT before anything else. Doesn't that mean it is time for him to be a topic of interest.

Since there is no point in my constant ticket messaging I am hoping that some gameplay-balance team member is reading this and thinking HEY UDYR is a champ in need of a drastic tune up. Not everyone wants to play a champ that's part of the meta but they also don't want to play a champ that can be complete garbage. I am not seeking approval from users everywhere but please voice your opinions, if you want. I am trying to be a difference and I want to have fun on this game again.

Thank you for your time and you gameplay-balance members if you are reading, message me to show you care about player feedback

Not even going to read your post for it is MURDER for dyslexic people like me. Advice for long posts, write it like a essay, separate the paragraphs.

Secondly.

Give riot some slack, Udyr is probabbly the hardest champion to buff nerf/rework because they can't even be allowed to touch anything without changing his identity.

If you wanna see where the love went, I believe they channeled all their love for him into Spirit Guard Udyr, kek.

I get that you want your favorite champion to be good, I really do, but look at it from Riot's point of view. They have so many champions to look at and keep up with balance-wise, would it really be fair for them to just go "Hmm, this one person wants us to ignore all the plans we made until now and move Udyr to the top of the rework list. Let's just nerf Singed real quick and get on that." Doesn't that kinda spit in the face of everyone who wanted their champion to receive changes and are waiting patiently for them? Udyr's been hovering in and out of meta for a long time, and while he's not strong, he's definitely not weak. They'll get to him when they get to him.

Also, as a fair bit of criticism towards how you typed your post, I would tone down the anger a bit. I can hear the animosity coming from you in the words you typed, and it comes off as really entitled and selfish. "Thank you for your time and you gameplay-balance members if you are reading, message me if you have the ballz." Really? This is the kind of comment I would ignore immediately, from anyone.

I understand that Riot has a lot on their agenda and while I am not saying they should immediately stop what there doing and rework Udyr. I merely want to know the talks, if there is any, on contributing some time into an Udyr rework. I want some feedback on just the process.

But I'll say this I have messaged and sent in tickets to the support staff and after many comments, they finally just told me to come here to get rid of me. I wouldn't say anger but more as frustration. Aight maybe last line was anger but I'm trying to make a point enough for someone to reply.
