Instead of reworking Yorick, why don't we fix Udyr?

Even your description of Udyr calls him "one of the best junglers in the game" (proof: http://i.imgur.com/ZWQfEBm.png) but yet, you've nerfed him and staple items he uses so fucking hard (Runic Echos, for one) Udyr mains like myself, and others, can't even play him in Bronze. What gives? Don't call him one of the best if you nerf him to shit Rito.

Like, come on, seriously? Did we REALLY need a Yorick rework? Honestly, tell me with a straight face that Yorick, out of ALL THE CHAMPIONS, needed a fucking rework....

if you can't play him in bronze, that's not a problem with the champion, it's a problem with the player. basically anything is viable in bronze if you know how to use it.

if you have a 73% winrate, how exactly is he not playable?

Have you played Udyr recently? Phoenix was nerfed to shit, as well as RE. Tigdyr is less than decent, and his entire kit feels clanky because of the nerfs to not only him, but items one would typically build.

Yorick, out of ALL THE CHAMPIONS, needed a rework.

Yorick was pretty much dead on launch. He had a hastily, lazily designed kit and was a visual concept that a lot of people had a very hard time appreciating. For 5 years, he got no love, no attention, and it was only this year that he was first allowed to be in the Free Rotation. That's 5 years since his launch. Never before this year in free rotation. That tells you how bad he was. He had a poorly designed kit that was extremely binary and completely devoid of interactivity other than "hit button, spawn ghoul, hit other button, spawn different ghoul." He was the definition of oppressive when he had the remotest amount of power, and because of this, he couldn't be allowed to have any power. Yorick has been in hell for 5 years, and he possibly more than any current champion has been in need of a rework, so I'm glad it was him and not Udyr.

Is this a joke about that Yorick Rework?

Or are you living under a rock?

Udyr did used to be the best jungler in the game. Multiple times over actually.

Udyr has a problem with hyper stat efficiency, and that's because of the inherent flaws in his kit's design.

Udyr is designed to literally outstat everyone, and that's because they gave him 4 basic abilities instead of 3 basics and an ult. This means that Udyr can use gold leads way more efficiently than any other champion. This is why whenever Udyr is strong, it's usually because of items on top of base poewr in his kit. This is why he get's hit directly and indirectly.

Udyr does need a VGU, but other champions need it way mroe badly.

Namely Urgot, Evelynn, and WW.
