I was looking at Udyr's new skin, and it's got VERY similar effects to what SG Udyr does to him; Bright, aura-like effects with extremely customized features.
Ult Udyr's texts don't exactly make his skin special.
I feel like it makes it so SG Udyr is no longer worth 3250 RP
Koiyaki5 votesIts because udyr is an old champ and needs a hard vgu. And because of how the bear works, any new skin now will step on the toes of his ulti skin in every way besides animation. Which is why im surprised they gave him a skin before he was vgued.
But meh, people will stop complaining about him not getting a skin for like a day so yay i guess.
Illabethe1 votesI still want a third Ornn Skin.....
So many new champs still only have 2 skins but Zoe/Udyr get new..... and they aren't even that popular....

Sukishoo2 votesI feel Spirit Guard is still better overall cause of its superior rigging and animations (minus the fact they gave DO Udyr a new run). The DOrcale skin overall looks nice but feels awful to use cause of his basic animations. Plus the pointy claw hands jabbing back and forth look hilariously bad.
Pandemic Punch2 votesYou kidding? That skin still uses base animations. The animations make it look like trash. I will still take Spirit Guard until they improve the base animation on Udyr.
ShinobiExecution2 votesnot really, spirit guard udyr has a different voice over and 4 different animations for each of his stances
Larriet2 votesBright, aura-like effects with extremely customized features.
Isn't this true of ALL Epic skins, though? The only real difference for Udyr is the fact that his abilities have to be the same color across different skins, like Sona, but I don't see you claiming that Odyssey makes Arcade obsolete because it's "too similar". The actual modelling and particles on the Dragon Oracle effects are shaped quite differently from Spirit Guard, Spirit Guard has new animations & VO, and Spirit Guard has effects that grow as you put levels into them instead of remaining static like Dragon Oracle.
Illabethe1 votesThe mention is in comparison to his NORMAL skins.
Dragon looks almost like a new ultimate skin.
Larriet1 votesI'm telling you right now that every skin he gets from now on is going to have bright effects like Dragon Oracle. That's the nature of Epic skins. Again, this is more modern, so if you think it looks better in general that would make sense, but in terms of features it's still not comparable.
One day Even Elementalist Lux is going to look stiff in comparison to Epic skins; technology and developer skill are only going to go up, after all. That doesn't mean Elementalist suddenly lacks all the features that make it an Ultimate skin; still has changing forms, new VO, new animations, etc.. The fact those things don't hold up to modern quality don't mean they are no longer a thing. Skins DO NOT get updates.
Modl Ryden l1 votesOh yeah, everyday.
The line between each skin tier blur almost every month when Riot presents new skins.
Zane Zephyr1 votesI mean, SG udyr is like 5-6+ years old so it's not surprising it's outclassed by a newer skin. SG is at best a 1350 skin. There's nothing appealing about it, in my opinion. It really needs updated.
Illabethe1 votesSG Udyr is like 2016.
And it is appealing. That's the problem. Unlike other Udyr skins of the time, it offered a story, and each form didn't look flat and dull; it looked vibrant.
Most new skins for champs like MF or Ezreal and definitely in Lux's case, were designed NOT to outshow the Ultimate skins (until lately for Ezreal).
None of Lux's post ult skins have been better than her Elementalist. Lunar looks like a weak copycat. Academy has flat singular effects.
Ezreal's was just so early they didn't really make a good skin. Udyr was the first success.
I do agree with an Udyr VGU, but it's going to be hard to update SG in a way that beats Dragon enough for the price disparity even then.
Sukishoo3 votesSG Udyr is like 2016.
Sorry what? Udyr's Ultimate skin, Spirit Guard Udyr was released on July 16th 2013.
None of Lux's post ult skins have been better than her Elementalist. Lunar looks like a weak copycat. Academy has flat singular effects.
I have to disagree. As much as I love Elementalist I actually like a lot of her later skins as well. I use Academia a lot more often than I use Elementalist now. I even use Lunar a lot more.
Larriet2 votesLunar looks like a weak copycat.
Don't get why people say this. If you can't tell the difference between real-life-Chinese and fantasy style clothing just because they both have something on their shoulders, I don't know what to tell you.
Academy has flat singular effects.
The effects are flat, yes, but that's on purpose and I like it. What do you mean by "singular", though? Have no idea what you mean by that one.
Illabethe1 votesI'm saying Lunar looks like Budget Elementalist Like an element they left off.
Singular = it looks like base Lux skills with a different color. Not many Lux kits exactly vary in their appearances other than color outside of the wardrobe. Lunar has an almost invisible Ult, but other skins generally just look like chromas.
