League of Legends Patch 12.16 is quite a small patch in terms of changes to champions, except for one addition: the reworked Udyr.

League of Legends editorial writer Landess “Small Baby Panda” Cole has shared in her write-up about the Udyr rework:

“When we take on a VGU, the primary goal is to preserve the things that players love about a champion, dial up their fantasy, and bring their kit and visuals up to modern standards. But doing an overhaul of a champion as old as Udyr is a huge effort, especially when numerous skins are involved, not to mention an Ultimate.”
