Serious question for you Udyr fans out there. When you ask us for a VGU are you hoping for improvements that stick to the core (like fiddle) or a big overhaul (like sion)? I think improving the core is my pref because Udyr brings a very unique pure melee playstyle to the game.

The team has some Akali changes coming to the PBE for 10.3 - rather than straight damage nerfs, we want to reduce the amount and reliability of her escapes. These will have a bit longer than normal on PBE so we can get feels feedback and extra testing.

Also, I am so glad to finally get this change in the game. Not much you can do about a leaver/AFK on your team, but now we hope it doesn't sting quite as much.
