Hello! I just hit diamond playing primarily Udyr! I was a low plat top/adc player for the longest time, then at the end of last year decided to swap to jungle. I tried a bunch of champs throughout the first half of the year and ultimately stuck with Udyr! I then finally broke out of Plat and speed ran through Emerald in ~80 games.

I am happy to answer any questions about the climb, Udyr specific things, mindset stuff, etc!

Curious as to when I should be going AD vs AP Udyr in the top lane? I’ve been just messing around with both and not really sure if I should be just defaulting to one build and playstyle over the other? Or if it just depends on the enemy/my team comp? Would deff prefer to play him as bruisery as possible.

Was placed in silver at the start of the season (OCE). Started with liandrys tank udyr, then pta shojin hexplate, experimented with protobelt zhonya ap builds, then landed on stormraiders shojin deaths dance. Snuck into winners queue and hit a 13 winstreak to land in diamond. gg

1432LP gained with udyr.

I never watched these before but i think they just updated. I only JG with uddy... and my only role, really jungle.

I set myself this challenge over a year ago, and things usually go well, but I’m not sure what to do when the bot and top lanes are heavily "trolling." Any advice on how to carry them with this build?

I main Briar and Shyvana, both junglers that farm well and invade/duel well. I wanted to expand my pool so I gave Udyr a try for a few games.

He definitely fits my playstyle well and has a lot of tools, but I've found him mechanically exhausting which is taking away from my macro.

How critical is it to get into a rhythm to optimise Udyrs attacks and stance changes? I find I'm looking at my cooldown bar a lot during jungle camps trying to optimise, or losing the rhythm and being half a cooldown off and cycling 4 skills instead of 3. Also as Udyr gets more AS from Q skillups and items (triforce etc) I find that in fights I end up button mashing and missing some of the second autos.

Does it get mechanically easier after a while for Udyr, or am I overthinking how important it is to optimise the micro?

(Fun side note for older players, if anyone remembers Bards in the original Everquest there was a technique called twisting to keep multiple buff stacks up. Udyr feels like that, but without the dial-up speed latency)

I’m looking for a champ who plays a bit aggressively, can take a punch and give it back. I know he might not be great against ranged matchups but seems to have an answer for it in his ult? Someone who bullies enemies not just in lane. One who is also a good team fighter. My original thinking was Renekton or K’Sante but seems K’Sante isn’t a great option. Would Udyr be a good option for this?

I've been maining Udyr jungle for a while now and I think he's pretty busted but outside of the generic build guides, I have no clue how others play this champ since he's just so versatile.

Questions are as follows:

#1 - what skin do you guys run?

#2 - do you usually build AD/ AP or Hybrid?

#3 - bruiser build or max damage?

#4 - what skill order are you usually maxing in?

#5 - does anybody have niche tips on interactions?

#6 - who do you think is his worst counter

#7 - what runes do you usually run?

Ill go first:

1 - Dragon Oracle

2 - Depends but usually Hybrid

3 - Bruiser, usually shojin > liandry > DD > spirit vis.

4 - Q > E > W> R

5 - I don't have any

6 - Haven't really found one but I think Shyv is my worst

7 - Conq into beefy comps and PTA into squishys

They just announced hes coming HYPED! Sadly classic is going to be a limited time gamemode so hopefully we get enough time with him

I dont get these huge leads often, also the buildpath of Cosmic Drive is so nice, unlike Haunting Guise items.

Some games I realize that it's my fault because of a bad play or bad positioning or game sense, and some games I realize that it's my fault because I'm in the elo of hell where i get zeri top going 0/5 before 10 minutes.

Possibly contender for single best item for Udyr, getting 2 stacks per Q auto is just wild, it sets up for insta kill with awakened Q almost every time.

Thoughts on this build?
DnD - Protoplasm Harness - Shojin - Situational.
Q Max.
What can i improve or change?

ive beeen maining udyr for the past 6 years and after all this time i finally accepted that Udyr is probably shittest most usless character of all time before and after rework. I Believe that udyr should be replaced with some hot bae like nidalee or tahm kench. i dont even want to play it anymore, now i prefer more skillful characters like Mel or Rammus. I am trully sad that yall didnt wake up yet but its okay may the divine light shine upon you. When my eyes rest in the endless light yours would be covered by darkness.

Given Phreak’s latest Classic update (https://youtu.be/MC0hzSndOUU) my guess is that Udyr will finally be joining Classic with a month or two.

Given the items and runes that currently exist in League Classic, how will we be playing him? with ZzRot recently added, I’ve been theory crafting a John Dyr classic style build for top or jungle.

What do you all think? AD Godyr Feral Flare? AP Bruiser Flame Pop? Double Dot AD Top? What will be good?

I hit e4 with ad udyr in jg but still strugling with teamfights as ad udyr. With ap its much easier but i feels like i dont do any dmg with ap.

Any tips ?

Hello guys! I'm a Camille, Akali and (from a week) Swain top main, and I'm looking for champions to add to my toplane champion pool. I have stumbled upon this little dude with his sick ass Q damage. Sooo, is he good rn? Worth investing into? I don't really ever see him

My current rank: E2

hello everyone !

I mained ad udyr for sometime now maybe a year and I find him the most fun champion to play but its been so long since I managed to climb with him
I am sliver currently and I cant carry with him even if I have 5/0 early game I just feel like the game slip from my hand
I cant really team fight without losing all my health instantly and in the end game I feel like I am just useless
I want to ask you guys do you play other champion or should I continue to one trick udyr and do you really can climb to high elo with udyr

Hi, I very much like playing Udyr Jungle and would like to discover new similar champs.
I'm an Iron player, so I'm not really looking for building an optimal champion pool I just don't want to OTP.
I've already played Volibear before, but I just feel like he is so much squishier and slower. And teamfights feel bad with the bear whereas I enjoy teamfighting with Udyr.
I also don't really know if Udyr has notably bad matchups, but if he does I would like to learn about those.

If it may help, here's what I like about Udyr :

1. fast clear
2. independant
3. moves quickly around the map (and when catching up with enemies)
4. easily useful in teamfights

Wouldn’t it be nice is switching stances reset you aa’s so you can do more with the stun. Just a thought.

Thoughts about this. I'm mid Emerald right now and trying to get to Diamond. My main is Gangplank but I have come to the realization is that I will probably never be good enough at GP to blind him into his bad matchups like Irelia, Jayce, Kled, or Cho, or Gwen. I've played Udyr a fair bit before when he was really OP and I do enjoy his kit a lot. Just wondering what's strong because I've played him in ranked a little but always feel weak.

How does topdyr scale? I feel his dueling is relatively weaker than most other actual 1v1 top laners. Is it worth trying to use him as a blind pick?
