Not only does he prolong ranked games to 40+ minutes, HE IS UNKILLABLE. Also the fact that he can do more damage than anyone in the game going FULL tank. Its kind of ridiculous. I really don't want to complain, but its becoming a serious problem.
Phenyxs7 votesNo. Learn how to play him or beat him. Neither is hard. The funniest thing about this game is if you can't beat them lets post a forum and plea for nerfs. Keep it up the game play will get worse. Should nerf the players.
Matezoide7 votesJust kite him.

AnonymousPoro6 votesHe's waaay too tanky for the damage he's able to deal right now.
Moesnd5 votesAgreed
Anags5 votesOkay, Voli is strong right now for sure. But how does he prolong games? Voli snowballs and ends games or gets his lanes fed.
I find poke comps with peel cause him problems but people don't play those much. He's always been a great all in teamfighter. If he gets nerfed people will just complain about the champ that takes his place. Happens everytime. Doesn't really matter to me. I only play him in the jungle when I know the other team lacks enough peel to handle him.
If he gets nerfed I'll still play him now and then like I do now.
JavelinJoe4 votesAt least lower his passive sustain.
thetreecamper2 votesthat shit is the most forgiving thing ever,it basically allows bad players to be stupid and get away with full hp
so i agree,nerf pls
AwesomeChad4 votesHigh mobility, insane sustain, built-in high dps scaling with late game dmg. Buff botrk please.
Captain Aishi7 votesvolibear is not high mobility in the slightest... he's one of the easiest champions to kite in the game... and his passive isn't what i would call insane sustain considering it has a flat 2 minute cooldown
he's a fairly immobile melee champion with low amounts of CC, so of course he will do lots of damage if you let him wail at you
Remlap12235 votesHe's counterpick to counterplay. He isn't as bad as Yi in that regard, but holy shit his passive and his fling are complete cancer to play against. Hope you picked an ADC or someone that can use EC otherwise good luck killing Volibear.
Lugg4 votesIt's the same problem with every bruiser in the game. They do WAY too much damage building one offensive damage item and then they go straight tank and are harder to kill than the actual tanks while being #1 or 2 in damage for their team.
Riot needs to make their damage COMPLETELY dependent on items so they can't go pure tank.
Ruin Lance4 votesbasically if you let this idiot get ahead he's unkillable and paired with another high cc champ is EXTREMELY hard to get away from. he's strong at all stages of the game too
Baby Ghoul4 votesThis board is known for having tank bias.
The only one putting out high amounts of damage while being a super tank should be Nasus, because he actually has to wait for his power spike window late game. Now there are tanks, like Volibear, that are unkillable but can eat up your health bar as effectively as anyone else without having to farm the whole game.
We know what a joke turrets are right now, so they have no issue diving you, ESPECIALLY Volibear, who by the way has a 54% win rate, so I don't know why people are trying to say he's disadvantaged in this thread, or ever was. Be honest with yourselves. Volibear has had a comfortable place in the meta for quite some time, and a decent pick rate, so there's no excuse for his win rate to be that high right now.
It's getting to an obnoxious level. You can't build tank but put out high amounts of damage, that is so frustrating to play against and makes the game so boring and one sided. The tank meta was just last summer, and I don't want to go back to it.
There are teams that are stacking tanks again, and boy is it making this season difficult. 
Yeah there are a few problematic bruisers that are must bans, like 
, but the difference is we can ban them. I cannot ban all tanks.
I know the whole tank stuff is in response to how terrible the marksman update was, but we're over that now, and again I can ban the few balance challenged marksman left over from that brief meta. 
What I can't do is avoid every single one of those tanks putting out high damage, while being unkillable and having amazing lockdown. There's little counterplay or counterbuilds.
This tank BS is eating into our limited bans.
LemurMonster2 votesYou pretty much nailed my reasons for my dislike of Tanks.
ValyrianBlade3 votesI'm noticing a trend. Riot nerfing the top junglers, and new ones fill their place.
I wonder if the issue isn't with the champions themselves, but rather something with the jungle... hmm...
Maybe the fact that junglers with weak early games can't effectively be shut down in solo queue because it's SOLO queue and not 5s? Hmm... Maybe that junglers are able to powerfarm too quickly this season, to reach power spikes on par with the solo lanes?
Honestly, I don't know the problem. What I can see, is that we're 6 patches in to the season and each patch appears to be addressing issues with the top tier junglers. A new one consistently rising to the forefront when the prior one gets nerfed. I think it's a problem with the role, not the champions. Junglers are too strong right now, people just don't see it because they're too busy complaining about ADCs... (when it's really individual champions that are problematic as Marksmen, not the role as a whole).
Remlap12233 votesAnd the circlejerk begins. Didn't you guys get the memo? The only two champions you are ever allowed to whine about are Lee Sin and Zed.
Grizzlpaw3 votesVolibear isn't even that good. The current meta is just kind to him is all.
His damage is nice, but his only tool to get onto you is slow, predictabe, and easy to react to. If he presses Q, just cc and kite him. He does best when people play beefy meeles that like to get up in his face, and struggles when people play long range carries with plently of CC and mobility to kite him in teamfights.
He'll fall off naturally once the meta shifts away from beefy tank frontliners with decent dps Like Malphite, Rammus, Nautilus, and Gragas.
Clutch Thompson2 votesHave someone build BOTRK boom done. Also his Ult is booty flakes that scales with AP so that poopin was balances out his awesomeness
Frius1 votesid switch garen`s passive with volibear
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesfeel like his passive should be out of combat. its quite cancerous. I mean his fling and slow make him impossible to run away from him late game. dead mans plat. swifties and his q. and he was chasing me all over the map obviously dying. I mean he can easily burst u down fast building full tank and he can just get titanic be as tanky and do even more damage. they need to lower his base damages. hes one of those. i have no scalings on my abilities i just have damage values. similar to garen which can 2 shot u with just a black cleaver. tanky as hell and does damage just bad design.

His Passive would be useless as fuck if it didnt trigger in combat.
He cant burst you down, he needs at least 3 Autos to use his W. Out of every bruiser he is amongst the lowest Bursts, he is almost entirely DPS based.
There is nothing with tanky characters doing damage. Some are supposed to CC you, others are meant to kill you. Voli is the later, he has literally nothing to offer to a team outside of being a tanky damage dealer.
If anything needs a nerf it is Titanic Hydra.
when he has 1000000 movement speed
Good thing he doesnt reach anywhere near that.
I am not denying Voli is very good atm, but his old weaknesses still exist.
IPinPC1 votesSame here. I can't understand if I am total noob or is it suppose to happen that early game half life voli can beat same level full hp bruisers like Galio etc. (not even talking about ad carries). Voli doesn't require any micro or anything as tank, yet it does as much damage as assassin.

Galio is not a bruiser, doesnt deal a lot of damage and is weak to AD in general.
Actual bruisers like Darius, Olaf, Illaoi, Garen and Nasus can 1v1 Voli effictively.
IPinPC1 votesHow come he is not bruiser (or at least suppose to be) if he's AP scaling is abysmal and certainly do not remind AP carry.

I don't know what world you live in where Galio is a bruiser or AP carry.
