Udyr vs Renekton Counter Pick

Both melee brawlers have a 125 attack range, but only one of them pays for his resource. Renekton builds Fury through auto-attacks, and the lower his health falls, the faster it accumulates. Udyr, meanwhile, spends Mana every time he switches stance under Bridge Between. Across 197 matches on patch 16.13.1, Udyr wins just 41.1% of the time, a Hard rating that owes more to trade tempo than to raw stats.

• Early game: 69 attack damage and 35 Armor for Renekton, versus 62 and 31 for Udyr.
• Late game: 2,547 health and 123.4 Armor at level 18 for Renekton, compared with 2,228 and 110.9 for Udyr.
• Mechanics: difficulty 3 for Renekton against 7 for Udyr, so the side that gets punished is also the easier one to play.

Udyr’s ways back into a fight are narrow but workable. Wilding Claw boosts attack speed and adds bonus physical damage to his next two hits, Iron Mantle shields and heals off those same attacks, and Blazing Stampede stuns the first enemy he strikes. Its Recast makes him immune to immobilizing effects, a direct counter to the 0.75-second stun from Ruthless Predator. Renekton’s Slice and Dice strips Armor when empowered and Dominus adds health outright, so any fight stretching past level 6 leans his way, unless Udyr’s 350 movement speed against 345 has already earned a numbers edge elsewhere.
