His lore quite interesting, he is the only Druid in game and yet i think of it. He would be very fun to play if he plays as an actual Druid who summons 4 animals in his teamfighting, and each gives him unique passives When i saw his VGU listed by Riot and some threads about him now that i think of it, this is the best matching idea to him in his VGU.
SoundChaosDebug1 votesIsn't his animal connection him shape shifting? Druids in diablo 2 turn into wolfs and bears. all his forms are not enough?
I say Facts1 voteshis Forms are enough, but he could summon these animals rather than transforming into them, would be more interesting that he gets animals fighting for him and each has unique scaling of him and also they give him passives while in combat.
SoundChaosDebug1 votesIn my mind the best "summoner" was pre rework yorick building ap. But then people feel like if the pets are stronger than the summoner then it's not really "fair" just look at yoricks summons now compared to pre-rework.
I say Facts1 votesNew Yorick's overall damage comes from 4 ghouls and his Maiden and i havn't seen any complaining about him he seems fine for me. Udyr could be a summoner of animals rather than transforming into them
SoundChaosDebug1 votesHis summoning doesn't even feel the same, before I could roam anywhere and be a summoner. Don't have enough graves dug for summons? Good luck leaving that spot or give up everything you just set up, plus they're so mindlessly easy to destroy.
Viable doesn't mean better than it was before to me.
I say Facts1 votesExactly, Udyr could be better and much more fun if he is a summoner while each animal gives him unique passives, i am not trying to say make him op but he is been complained a lot in boards and even by Riot for a reason, his kit overall doesn't really have any interesting gameplay and he has underwhelming abilities.
SoundChaosDebug1 votesPersonally before we even give Udyr summons we should buff daisy AI, she's the worst AI I've seen in this game yet. Hell they even improved co op vs ai's AI why not give diasy something viable?
I say Facts1 votesI'll actaully have to agree with that, i've thought of it too, Ivern been left behind for so long and his Daisy is really bad
