Udyr vs Malzahar Matchup Summary

The Udyr vs Malzahar matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Malzahar wins with a 80.0% win rate compared to Udyr's 20.0%, giving Malzahar a 60.0 percentage point advantage. Malzahar dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
