Unpopular opinion...Volibear is actually fun and balanced in his current state

Yes he gets free healing with his passive but so what? So do most melee champions in this game. He's a tank that has good healing and cc. And he has decent damage with his ult but not broken by any means. It's not like u see him in LCS constantly. I'm afraid that Riot will ruin Volibear with his rework...

Disagree. He may have been balanced before, but they've been continually buffing him for some time now.

Yes, god forbid we have a strong tank in this damage meta. How dare they buff any of them.

If you're gonna go ahead and claim he is strong, then go ahead and change your thread's title. Strong != Balanced.

A champion can be strong and balanced at the same time.

Lol no they can't, a champion can be strong but not overpowered enough to warrant a nerf, but that doesn't mean they are balanced.

lmao what?

a tank being unkillable and dealing more damage than kha zix is bad design. I understand if your offended though since u play mainly full tank champs that manage to outdamage most assassins. So look ill try to explain. If rengar was able to tank 4 people for 3 seconds straight, while having enough time to one shot the adc/mage or wtvr, then get out only being half hp that would be unbalanced. Yet riot seems to think its ok so long as tanks do that. Tanks should deal nearly unnoticeable damage while being extremely tanky and having high cc.

Volibear doesn't kill people in .5 seconds like Kha and Rengar and doesn't have the mobility either

Volibear isn't even a tank. He's a juggernaut like Darius.

Im gonna go now. It's very clear that you're just salty as fuck and have zero clue wtf you're talking about outside using outrage culture tactics to pretend that you're right. Bye now

Agree. He’s super straight forward. Strong but not brain dead

Who thinks Voli is broken?

I am with you. Volibear is one of the few champions left that I enjoy after having all my favorites gutted and his kit is so much fun. It's not overcomplicated like every other champion in League and makes you feel good as you charge at your enemies. :)

Everything I have seen about his rework so far has not seemed promising. The concept art looks like Volibear taken from a fluffy polar bear to some hulking war torn monster. I am scared this rework will end up just like Galio or Aatrox where the reworked champion only lightly resembles the original champion, and that Riot won't be able to resist giving him a broken kit that forces them to gut him shortly after they completely change who Voli is... :/

Honestly I would just like to see his passive and ult reworked somehow.

Passive - Increased health regen based on missing health outside of combat; increased lifesteal during combat based on missing health during combat. Plays on the duality of him as a mystic and a warrior in his lore.

Ult - Passive: Dealing ability damage heals Volibear based on his missing health.

Active: Same, but allow for an attack speed steroid and possibly a damage buff that applies to targets with certain health thresholds.

Right now, his ult does not live up to what it does in his biography. There, he calls upon his newfound power to come back from certain defeat against the Ursine Triumverate, ascertaing his place as their chieftan. In game? It tickles.

Otherwise, his abilities are good.
