Surely if you have been following the news, you would have caught a glimpse of the abilities of the newly reworked League of Legends champion named Udyr, right? After the rework, Udyr not only received an upgrade in visuals but also a significant enhancement in his abilities, promising to deliver diverse playstyles for the player community around the world. Indeed, Udyr will be much stronger than before, and now we will compare old Udyr and new Udyr to see where the differences lie.
1. Difference in Passive Ability
Now, Udyr will have a new passive mechanism called Awaken, which enhances his abilities in new forms, significantly increasing the power of this champion. Previously, the passive only provided a small boost to attack speed and movement speed, which was negligible. But let’s consider it acceptable because the passive was merely a supportive skill that added uniqueness to the champion.
With the new passive, this champion not only enhances the strength of his abilities but also increases attack speed, and the cooldown of the passive will continuously reduce upon successful attacks. Therefore, you can think of Karma’s ultimate to visualize how the passive operates. Thus, Udyr’s passive will significantly boost his power, and it serves as a mini version of an ultimate ability. Although the power of the passive may not match the burst ultimates of other champions, at least it still provides value for players due to its relatively fast cooldown. Definitely, the new passive will be much stronger than the old one.
2. Significantly Enhanced Abilities
When Riot added the Awaken passive, Udyr received additional power to his basic abilities such as:
– Q Ability: Increases attack speed and creates a chain of lightning for 6 hits, dealing 10.6% of the enemy’s health if the enemy is isolated.
– W Ability: Increases shield and healing, while also doubling the healing and lifesteal capabilities.
– E Ability: Increases movement speed and grants crowd control immunity for 1.5 seconds.
– R Ability: Creates a storm area, burning the enemy’s health based on their maximum health.
Basically, the power of the abilities after gaining the Awaken effect is stronger than the usual abilities when the Awaken effect was not active. Therefore, players can focus on any ability they wish to activate the Awaken effect on that skill. Using the ability while it is on cooldown will activate the Awaken for that ability.
3. Variety of Playstyles
The new Udyr can now be played in almost every position except for the marksman role. Previously, Udyr struggled to engage enemies, but now he can deal significant damage, heal well, and engage much easier thanks to the new passive mechanism. Therefore, Udyr can fill all positions except marksman in the upcoming version.
– Top Lane: Fighter style due to strong trading capabilities.
– Jungle: Fast jungle clear and strong early game ganking potential.
– Mid Lane: Good lane sustain, quick rotations to impact the map.
– Support: Focus on engaging targets with E ability, maintaining better damage than other supports.
Essentially, after the rework, Udyr will be very easy to use as this champion has been equipped with a mini-ultimate, significantly enhancing his power and making him compatible with various positions. Therefore, Udyr is sure to become a highly sought-after champion within the player community in the future.
