Playing against Udyr

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Kite Udyr: he has no gap-close other than running at you. Slows and dashes counter him.

2

His E only stuns each target once every few seconds — after the stun, the fight is in your favor.

3

Udyr is a fast-clearing jungler: invade his camps to set him behind.

4

Ranged CC prevents him from getting close: mages and ADCs with peel counter him well.
