All Bear and No Bite

For those of you who love Volibear, you may have notice something strange when you're in the jungle. With the new patch, Volibear got a really great buff to his Frenzy. When he uses Frenzy on monsters in the jungle, the cool down is suppose to drop to 8 seconds, from its normal 15 seconds.

A few times I have noticed this when biting mobs large monsters (Golem, Dragon, Baron) or even the smaller monsters (Wolves). There will be times when I cast Frenzy and it will drop, and then there will be times when the cool down hits. I was really able to notice that the cool down was not dropping when I was fighting the dragon. 2 out of the 4 Frenzy attemps did not drop the cool down.

Please add any comments to help bring this to riots attention. I already sent in a ticket about the issue, and hope others follow.

I have experienced this as well and have noticed others posting the same thing.

I would recommend though changing the name of the post so that it will be better recognized as a bug report.

Amen, has been happening to me all the time. For me it has been about 1/4 of the time (probably a little higher). Hope this gets fixed soon, volibear is my favorite bear.

Is it only when it kills a monster?

I've noticed it will sometimes not bite correctly, like it cancels. He goes in for the monster bite, then stops. I have to hit W again. Could have been that Rito lag that's been going around too, though.

I've seen a couple other people report this same bug as well, +1 for visibility. I haven't had a chance to test it, but if you are able to figure out if there is anything specific about it (like how easy it is to replicate, how frequently it happens, if it happens more against certain mobs or happens regularly against all of them etc. that would help Riot to be able to fix this sooner.

Yeah, this is happening to me too. I think it happens more often when you bite as soon as you get your stacks, but I'm not certain.

Be sure to Tweet @LeagueOfLegends @riotgames using the #AllBearNoBite. The more buzz we generate, the sooner they'll patch the issue. Any time your Frenzy fails shoot them a tweet.

When I first posted about this bug it was 5.5. We are now into 5.7 and Volibear's CDR for his Frenzy on jungle mobs has not been fixed.

Once again nothing has been done to fix the bug with Volibear's Frenzy on Jungle monsters. We are no into patch 5.8. How much longer will this issue go unresolved?

We are now entering patch 5.9 and there still has been no fix to Volibear's Frenzy. Are these forums really being monitored?

We are now entering patch 5.10. Still no attempts made to fix the Frenzy bug

Yup, its rare but it's a bug. Happened to me once on blue and once on drag in my last 15 games

As we continue to wait for patch 5.16 I still see that riot has not fixed the issue with Volibear's cdr for his frenzy on jungle mobs
