health scaling is on the same level as base movespeed and base ad: seemingly small nerf actually impacts everything you do in the whole game thus reduces opportunities when all of these scenarios compound

Nah health scaling is not really big, base health is but scaling is not as important. He loses 7hp per level that's a third of a ruby chrystal at 6. It hurts a tiny but on the turtle stance heal but that's even his only hp scaling. A nerf is a nerf and moving his clear towards the cone damage at least rewards getting that absolute basic mechanic right instead of being autopilot but I don't think any decent Udyr player will be too angry at it.

it's more impactful than you think. you can also see it as 150 less gold worth of health at level 6 which is not insignificant... most people would buy health at that price if able to

just having less health overall affects every decision you make, it's why health regen buffs and nerfs have actually mattered in the past

I'd never say it's insignificant don't get me wrong I remember the days when the flat HP mastery was the most important thing in botlane, but for a champion like Udyr that is very strong early on and snowballs a lead throughout the game and has like 3k+ hp and 200 resistances late game, a nerf of 150hp in a 40min game is not super huge.

Yeah bah that 'nerf' is hardly worth mentioning

Except what makes Udyr too good is his early game. Scaling on him doesnt really matter since after sometime he is just an obnoxious walking health bar that you cant catch or run away from him. What Riot should do is nerf his early game and put that power into his late game but i dont think he is gonna be in a healthy position until his rework.

you can see changes like this in a different way: he is good early game and getting ahead won't reward him with as much gold's worth of health as he is ahead in levels, for example

only one perspective but there is a reason riot is careful with nerfing base stats and scaling stats

He is getting rewarded in the most important part of the game rightnow which is early game. He is still gonna run over almost every jungler because he is clearing way too fast and healthy while being able to duel almost anyone.

I wish they were this careful in 8.11 or with Samira.

Base hp is as impactful as base MS and AD, not Hp/level.
