Why Nerfing Runic Echoes is UNREASONABLE!
Look as a jungle main who, at least I consider myself, is a veteran at least in terms of how long I have been playing this game... the only time I ever felt this strong in meta was season 4. Season 3 was a close second for me. Season 6 started out a bit iffy as there was so many changes, but I got the hang of it and dare I say it is fantastic! As of 6.3, I have never been in an easier meta. I main Shaco, who generally isn't supposed to be a good champion and he still isn't but this is the meta he truly strives in since everything is fast-paced and the earlier you snowball the better. Not only do I play Shaco but I LOVE Elise! Easily my 2 best champions, I have found a surprising amount of success on Wukong as well. Kindred was my most recent pick-up and I am still improving.
Let's get to the point: Runic Echoes does NOT deserve a nerf, at least not for the reason your nerfing it. I mean, I am happy that it "improved" Udyr... because the enemy jungler is picking Udyr expecting to get free wins when he's getting free losses! xD This is by far the easiest "meta" i've played thus far, since my start in like late- season 2. I am not saying Udyr is "Trash" exactly just... Why would you pick him? He has so many flaws starting with the most important of all: He sucks at ganking after that it's all minimal issues like slow clear, mana issues, REALLY bad itemization and scaling. All these flaws...but honestly he's probably God when it comes to 1v1s ANYWAYS... Runic Echoes fixes the slow clear and mana issues and it does fix his itemization somewhat because you don't have to go devourer which is just the most.. toxic item, but that's a different topic for another time.
What I am trying to say is, despite how much I wish I could stay in this meta and punish the enemy for repeatedly picking the same terrible picks, I knew in the back of my mind that Runic Echoes is gonna get nerfed because of all the overhyped talk about Udyr. Listen, I am saying this because it's unfair for the real Runic Echoes junglers such as Elise who already got MS nerf. "What if they revert the MS nerf the patch after?!?!" That'd be awesome... but no, that wouldn't be acceptable either! I am talking for the sake of all the Runic Echoes junglers! Not just Elise, I know you don't want to nerf the actual champion because there's nothing really overpowered about him and people saying he's overpowered... is just silly. And I know there's gonna be those immature idiots who are gonna say "Wow! Your just hating on Udyr you don't know jackshit!!!" Bruh Udyr was 1 of my first junglers... I think he's very fun and if he was actually good and maintain the concept of the champion, I'd pick that shit up faster than Trick2G will open D GATES! I have played so many different junglers and the only junglers that were more fun that Udyr were Shaco and Kha' Zix for me and Elise but I sometimes get bored of Elise.
I am not here whether to argue if Udyr is good or not, because you guys believe he is and hey I am not complaining! I have a good time exploiting all them weaknesses and winning every game. But he shouldn't be a reason the reason Runic Echoes is getting nerfed. It's just... STUPID!
TL;DR Please don't nerf Runic Echoes!
