Please Update Udyr's Classic Skin
I seriously think you delay it so people will have to buy Spirit Guard for any HD skin Riot.

I'm sure it'll never be updated. Riot makes more money from people buying the Ultimate skin than from putting resources and time from their employees to make a full Visual upgrade of him.
Frankly, I'd be satisfied if they'd just fix his skin tone in the classic skin. Seriously, one of these things is not like the others.
I'd be more satisfied if they did it the other way around.
Spirit Guard Udyr makes sense because it's based on the Udyr from before the retcon, back when he was Ionian. But the way his story is right now, a character from a northern tribal culture and with a profession based on Inuit shamanism has no place looking whiter than Madonna's arse.
Udyr comes from the Freljord. As do Ashe, Tryndamere, Sejuani, Olaf, Gragas, Nunu, Braum, and Lissandra if you wanna nitpick. I mean, I might just be color blind, but none of them are exactly sporting a sickly yellowish-green as their skin tone. Frankly, neither do Inuit people in real life. You could argue they have a somewhat olive skin tone, but what Classic Udyr is currently slathered in is anything but "olive skin." (Well, it actually looks quite like an actual olive, but that's not what olive skin looks like)
Even ignoring all that, you can't deny that it's certainly not in line with his new splash art, at the very least, wherein he is clearly quite fair skinned. Or at least much fairer (and less... yellow-ish green) than what his in game model would suggest.
My problem is how the skin looks downright ugly. Heck, if they made all his skins darker or less Caucasian in appearance, I wouldn't care as long as it looked natural. But Classic Udyr just looks like he's suffering a severe case of jaundice, not as though he originates from an Inuit-type tribe.
While I also have this feeling sometimes,you have to keep in mind that there are tons of champs who also need a visual update and didn't get one yet

so yeah some champs simply need to wait a bit longer for their update than others....
I also think primal udyr and black belt udyr is ugly too.
