Udyr is one of those champions that is easy to pick and hard to master. I have no clue what to build on him, hell I don't even know how to play him properly.

He was very powerfull and still is but people stopped playing him because there were people who ganked better than him. His jungle is among the quickest ones.

For example in a 1 vs 1 fight he can kill or outrun any jungler, Diana for instance won't even put a dent on him but champions like Diana have jump abilities which Udiyr doesn't which raises the difficulty in this game.

I've seen many Udyrs in season 1 and not so many in season 2 while I never saw any Udyr in season 3. From the builds that people used I mostly saw Madred's bloodrazor, mercury threads and heavy health items like frozen mallet or warmog. That was the only build, just build him tanky and insert one damage item and you are good to go.

I've seen glass cannon Udyrs and those were very bad, I've never seen AP Udyr and solo top Udyrs were somewhat popular near season 1.

So yeah, it really depended on situation on what a player would build but it was always the same, build him tanky, put 1 to 2 damage items and you are good to go.
