With Udyr I've been torn between greatly preferring tiger stance for ganks/counter jungling but disliking the weak jungle clear speed pre wriggles. I've settled on starting phoenix at 1, but then getting tiger at 3 or 4 and going full tiger stance from there. It works really well imo, I've carried pretty hard since I've stared using it. Item wise I go boots 3 pots -> wriggles -> merc treads -> phage -> aegis -> frozen mallet -> whatever other tank items are needed to deal with whoever is carrying. I've been running it with 9/12/9 masteries and AD reds/quints, armor yellows and MR per level blues.

Got Xerath the other day. Should of listened when I read people saying that his playstyle is boring.

I can't believe there's still nothing being done about leavers. Something must be done because it is not fun to have 10-20% of the games you play ruined by a leaver. Compensation of some kind has to be given out for that shit. And I mean beyond bannings. Of course I want leavers prosecuted to the full extent of the law, but that still doesn't give me my 20-50 minutes back. Forgive the loss, buff minions, add a bot, do SOMETHING Riot. It's so stupid.

They should cut surrender time by 10 mins for every leaver on your team. If there are >=2 leavers you should be able to surrender anytime because you're not gonna win that at all.
Well I guess it's nice that Hecarim has a charge mechanic.
I used to have that problem when ganking with udyr. The trick is to treat yourself like a skillshot and run behind them, rather than right clicking on them with bear stance from far away. Right click means you end up running in a curve, rather than a straight line.
Tiger udyr is for ganking and counter jungling. If you like tiger, you should become proficient in those areas... Phoenix at 1 seems a little pointless because after a few levels it becomes weeker than tiger and so you've basically lost a level so you can clear faster at level 1/2? Heres an early game clear tip with tiger - activate tiger, the proc will stay on indefinitely. Hit the target, then activate tiger again, giving you tiger proc x 2. This can be done while walking to the next camp

Tiger is used for top lane Udyr, its just Phoenix has much faster clear times in the jungle. Its not that Tiger start is bad per se, it does more damage during ganks. So you either get more damage during ganks or faster clear times.
But yeah, you really need movespeed for him. You can always flash-stun though, I do it quite often even with movespeed quints/masteries.
Like lazerexplosion said, you can try out different stance builds. Starting phoenix for early clear times, then switching to Tiger the rest of the game. Going full Tiger. Going full Phoenix. All of his abilities have 5 levels, so you can pick and choose what you want. You can even go 4 in Tiger and 4 in Phoenix if you wanted to.
Phoenix clears jungle faster throughout the entire game and clears waves a ton faster. Tiger is only faster at killing buffs. Phoenix is less mana intensive and doesn't need Wriggles, allowing you to do many different builds right from the start.

I've been playing a lot of Urgot lately.
His early game is terrible, but once you're get a tear and some boots, it's on.
After you get your core, your unstoppable. You do so much damage with only two or three actual damage items.
I do 13/10/7 masteries, armor yellows, scaling mr runes, and ad reds and quints.
My typical build is mercs/tabi, manamune, bloodthirster, brutalizer, guardian angel, then whatever else. Game almost always ends before last item.

Yes, but the guy wants to play tiger udyr and is getting phoenix at level 1. My advice was tailored to that. Please read things properly
You should try playing ranked, about half the games have at least one person either afk, ragequitting, disconnecting off and on, disconnected for 5+ minutes, etc.
900 elo something something

I know how to use tiger stance lol wtf. Clearing faster at level 1-4 is a huge gain because it means you don't suck in the jungle before you get wriggles and can therefore clear quickly, gank earlier, build wriggles earlier for more power and come out ahead.
No, I think this has been happening since 1000 elo or whatnot. It's 700 now.
It's getting good -- my latest team had three people calling everyone "faggot", at least one people spewing racial stuff about black people, one person possibly intentionally feeding (walking into enemy team alone twice, like into a turret, and typing
and <3 afterwards), and a 1/19 karthus who would basically do nothing but walk into an enemy each time he respawned to do nothing but die and use the ult.

Bought Naut, started at wolves with cloth+5pot and was my first time jungling after a failure that I will not elaborate on a few weeks ago.
Went 5-3-20! His ganks are fantastic and zipping around the map handing out kills and buffs is really fun.
A lot of people dislike his sluggish animation but I love the way he swings his anchor, really emphasizes the whole "Don't mess with me" attitude he has.
Can't waait to practice him some more.

Ack I really have to stick to my pre-emptive mute all teammates strategy. Then I can pretend my teammates aren't HUGE douchenozzles. Apparently just winning my lane by double cs is not enough, I also have to literally win the lane for top who is feeding 4 kills without ganks and bot who is feeding 4 kills without ganks otherwise they'll tell me that 'You suck' and 'Its your fault'. Fuck you teammates, fuck you. Try saying something useful instead of making me hate you.
Except you'll come out missing a level in tiger, gimping your gank damage. Not only that, your runes are either tiger runes or phoenix runes and inefficient anyway. Just go tiger, go steal the opponents red and gank at level 2. Alternately, you can get your red and gank the jungle opponent at his wolves by going there after you take your big wraith the 2nd time.
I think picking one stance and playing to its strengths (tiger - ganking, counter jungling, fast dragon. phoenix - farming, counter clearing) is more optimal

I'm terrible, and I think getting a team with a chance of winning gets more random the lower you go.
I found a new Udyr guide and tried going tiger with some bear. I accidentally got a bunch of phoenix levels too, but even with them, I went 10/0/6 and we killed the nexus in under 24 minutes. It was fun.

I've played enough games with you to know you're a good player. You're skilled. Your issue is being too afraid to commit to fights.
She's so good that when any random picks her up, me and my friends drop from the queue. Same with Evelynn and i'm serious.
I agree. Been trying her out in jungle and she is quite awesome. Great clear time, great ganks, great ult.

Jungle Kayle rocks. Gotta try Kayle top though.

You guys were fighting about that, in-game, for like five minutes straight.

I vouch for this. The weird thing is, when Summons plays AGAINST me, in lane, he's super aggressive and makes my life hard. I guess I'm not intimidating enough.
But yeah, he generally does not have a good sense of when to engage and when not to engage.
Not that I'm any better, mind you. That's why I stick to Dominion! ENGAGE 90% OF THE TIME.
yesssss
Fight? There was no fight. That was discussion.
Yeah I know there's an IPL thread, but they're just talking about starcraft in there.
Shen too annoying. Making AAA get impatient and taking bad initiates.

I'm not sure beating you in lane is a huge accomplishment.
I can be quite aggressive in lane and the jungle, often get first blood etc., if I feel I am comfortable with the situation, the wards, the champion matchup, and my champion.In general I have terrible judgment and terrible skills though.

aAa's playing terribly lately.
Can't believe they took CLG.eu's spot.

Playing against people you know doesn't count as evidence of anything. Theres too much metagaming going on - you end up playing the person, not the match up.
Anyway, laning isn't what we mean by Summon's is a pansy. Laning is generally 1v1 so there are less unknowns, and it's less scary. But team fights? Thats where scaredy cat play rears its head.

Jesus's crucifixion, resurrection, and fetish of dressing up as a bunny and hiding eggs was just to lead up to this moment. Thank you Jesus, without your sacrifice I wouldn't have had the opportunity of playing a hot scantily clad woman wielding a huge carrot sword.

I'm still lost as to why people wanted that skin so badly. There are a ton of better skin concepts than that on the Riot forums.
What's to hate about playboy bunnies?
Avinexus

Nothing. People on Reddit and stuff have pushed to have that skin for a long time, I just never understood why since there are plenty of other skin concepts that are far better than that.
Sex sells.

The new champion looks pretty cool (the archer guy, not hecarim). I guess we can expect him later this month.
