/u/Jatt tweeted: a changelist for some Udyr changes he is working to bridge the gap between Tiger and Phoenix Udyr:
Even though patch 9.12 will go live tomorrow, we are well underway on patch 9.13 work. I have an Udyr change in testing for 9.13 to help close the gap between Phoenix and Tiger stance, as well as give Udyr good skill points to spend at lvls 16, 17, and 18. #lifeofapatch
The change would give his skills a 6th rank at lvl 16+
External link →Probably an important thing to reiterate -- the 6th rank of abilities aren't available until lvl 16.
When looking through data, Udyr reaches lvl 16 in ~ 33% of his games, lvl 17 in ~19% of this games, and lvl 18 in ~10% of his games. So looking at the changes through that lense: in 66% of games Udyr will have a 10% AD ratio nerf at all ranks on Tiger, and a 10-25 damage buff on R, with no other changes to his kit.
In 33% of games, he will be able to add one additional rank into one of his abilities abilities, and in 10% of games Udyr will be able to have 3 abilities at rank 6.
Hoping to remove the uselessness Udyr feels when he's got 5 points in 3 abilities at lvl 15 and feels like he's wasting skill points into a stance he should never use. Probably a lot less WR% power in those last 3 points since they are spent so rarely, and often spent after the game is already decided.
