Currently, AD Udyr with Q max is having a resurgence while R-centric Udyr builds have fallen significantly behind. We're looking to bring Phoenix Udyr back up to enable him to compete, and particularly looking to reward Udyr for getting his R stance attacks off.

Udyr's Q-max builds are doing fine but the R-max builds are performing too well of late. Though he lost some power from Fated Ashes, he's very happy about Dead Man's Plate and the recent shifts to more methodical combat. This patch we're nerfing his R damage in his tankier builds as he's too threatening in R-max when built mostly tank.

Udyr has been pretty strong for a while now and is the premier legend in league of legends. We want to target his jungle as much as possible and leave his top lane relatively untouched, so we’re targeting the jungle modifier on his R and dropping his E movement speed to make his clear speed slower and his ganks a little bit less effective.

Since Udyr's VGU, we've spent quite a few patches working on the power balance between each of his stance maxes as well as his overall power. As a result, his winrates for different stances have fluctuated greatly, but his overall winrate has been relatively stable. Now that we're more happy about how each stance expresses power (Wilding Claw for AS/AD heavy DPS builds and Wingborne Storm for utility), we're taking a bigger swing at Udyr's total power level, which has been a cut above other junglers since Preseason.

The changes in the last patches hit top lane Udyr a bit harder than we had intended. Watch out minions, because this buff means Udyr’s coming for YOU.

Like most new/updated champs, as all of you have gotten more used to Newdyr the stronger he has become. Now he's a tad more powerful than we'd like. Our goals with these adjustments are to bring his scaling down a bit, shift some power from his R-max to his Q-max (particularly in lanes), reduce the strength of his W-max second, and incentivize players to take at least 1 point in Q early.

Tank phoenix Udyr was a menace in Pro earlier this season thanks to items like Turbo Chemtank. The meta's changed quite a bit since then, and it's left him in a pretty sad state. We're reverting the 11.12 nerf on his R to let him spread his wings once again.

Tank Phoenix Udyr has been rampaging across Pro play. We’re pecking down the damage he gets from tank builds, but compensating for when he wants to go AP bird instead.

Equipped with strong early clearing, dueling, and four eternal spirits, Udyr's been running the jungle. We're curbing the damage output across his builds to give peers the chance to start off on the right foot.

With the help of new items like Turbo Chemtank, Udyr has been zooming around the jungle with nary a care with some of the fastest movement speeds we've ever seen, letting him nyoom in and out of fights. We’re dialing back his clear speeds (revert of a 10.21 buff) and making him squishier.

Udyr is another dominant jungler at the moment, especially with a Phoenix max. His items are already getting hit, so this nerf is aimed to be lighter than what he would normally merit.
