Too many Udyr nerfs

Really Riot? FOUR nerfs to Udyr in one patch..isnt that a bit much?

Phoenix nerf Turtle nerf SECOND Boots of Swiftness nerf AND Runic Echoes nerf?

He needed a small nerf but not EVERYTHING...

Not only that but what about all other AP junglers with only ONE item to choose from? Why does riot hate AP champs so much???

"Everything"

Udyr has like 4 builds. While the Swiftness nerf touches all of them, Udyr will just find another way.

I feel like this is a troll post. Why on earth would Jax be getting Echoes when Sated Rageblade is still an option? Hell, Poppy doesn't need AP in the jungle, or even at all. It benefits the least useful part of her kit for damage.

The champions listed was not really the point. The point is Riot keeps nerfing AP jungles

Most AP junglers can make use of one of the other items. The only exceptions I can think of are pure mage jungles, but you can't balance meta and off-meta simultaneously.

Actually, yeah...he kinda does need everything nerfed.

Upfront burst of Phoenix lets him win the majority of trades with anyone unless he's far behind. Just for being Udyr. This means he can crush anyone before 6 easily if he happens to get to them.

Spammable turtle shield gives him a ton of survivability, especially with little-to-no investment in its scaling stat.

Bear makes it so he can essentially perma-ghost with stuns. It makes sense they'd touch it, especially with its turtle synergy for baiting.

Tiger, combined with his passive, gives him an absurd amount of attack-speed without having to invest in it at all. Why buy attack speed when you get more than you could ever want with the ability you choose to leave at 3 ranks?

Be happy. Udyr's getting a slap on the wrist. He deserves far more than what he's getting, itemization aside.

Jax Olaf These 2 champions can beat him before 6.

I agree tho, he deserves every nerf he can get. His movement is the craziest in the game. You can't catch him when he's maxed movement speed. Every other champion in this game you can catch, but Udyr? Nope.
