I got to say, I was not expecting this. I mean, Udyr is one of those champs that I would heavily consider a Visual Update first, VGU at best.

But like with Fiddlesticks before he was decided for his rework, they gave him a brand new skin and, I got to say, it looks awesome. I love the Dragon themed skins League has so this one is already high up for praise by me. It thematically makes sense, the sound and particle effects look good, it's a pretty good quality skin.

I do have one complaint though and this is mostly due to the fact it's Udyr: his animations still look dated. And because of that, it kind of brings the whole quality down a bit and more or less shows the age this champion is. Which is a shame because as I said, it's a good skin. It's being held back, though, with the champion as a whole. The unique recall is good, but the rest of his animations are still just his old base animations.

That said, I may or may not still pick it up or hopefully reroll for it (i basically have every single skin I can collect now which is quite sad to admit), really depends on the mood I'm in, but overall I am happy that he did finally get a new skin.

Now if only Riot could throw a bone to Kalista...

Well, we were promised more skins for forgotten champions this year by Riot(specifically I Am Carlos). Only 4 were mentioned by name(Shaco, Zilean, Nunu, Ivern, all of which where in the 1,000 days club if I'm not mistaken), but he did say "and many more." I guess Udyr falls under the "and many more" category.

That being said, 10/10 for the skin, but holy hell those animations.

Riot just needed to go one step further with the attack animations and it would have been great.

I don't understand why they go through the trouble of granting 1350 RP skins a unique run/sprint animation but leave a lot of the defaults.

he 100% needs a massive rework but the skin will stay the same just animations and added FX when he does get reworked. and i assume spirit guard will actually be heavily worked on to make it an ultimate

He needs a rework more than he needs a skin

It looks better than his ultimate skin too.
