Udyr's future Rework/Visual Update Questions and Discussion

EDIT: This isn't or from an Official announcement, this is just a brainstorming and discussion about what we could see if one were to occur.

I've been wondering and been talking with other members of the community recently about the future Rework of Udyr and the issue with Spirit Guard Udyr with a Visual Update and so I decided to bring this discussion to the forums and get more of a community input and maybe even a Rioter response. Some of the points or topics that are brought up is:

• What about Udyr's current kit needs to stay and what needs to go or does he need a completely new kit?
• Will his lore need to change?
• Does he even need a Gameplay Update or just a Visual Update?
• How is Spirit Guard Udyr going to be affected after the Visual Update?
• Will the Visual Update actually be Spirit Guard Udyr? If so how will the players who bought the skin be affected?
• What about Udyr made Riot want a Rework in the first place?
