1v1 wise, he has no probs and can just go and vs whoever early to mid game without much gearing. But for ganks and if fighting ranged types, he needs to gear up for them. I've played Udyr for about 6-8 months now and I've realise that this guy can Jungle without Smite and guess what? This guy can do that without a leash as well. If u get used to classical jungling with Udyr, start tryin Smiteless Jungle. It might seem abit risky but if u know what ur doin, it works. There are currently 8-10 Junglers that I know that can Jungle without Smite. Udyr, Shaco, Warwick and many others can do this.

U can go Tiger or Phoenix for this in the new season (S2 only made Phoenix viable for Smiteless Jungle). If u do go and Jungle without Smite, I would recommend either Ghost, Heal or Barrier for the 2nd Summoner pick. Ghost is best used for that extra MS steroid for betr ganks, Heal is there to disrupt the enemy from their onslaught and save allies by healing them abit and Barrier is there for that splie 2 sec lifesaver that can help u against counter junglers.

Many ppl don't recommend this, but if u know what ur doin, u can do betr from Mid to Late game thanks to the extra Summoner Spell.
