How to outplay Volibear support?
Been having trouble with this. In my last game specifically I was a Leona support, but I kept having to throw myself in to his flip to prevent him from flipping my carry. (A Tristana, who already isn't a good early game champ). I tried cc'ing out of it, with with Leona's q or zenith blade, neither worked. Volibear proceeded to flip after the cc was over.
Their jungler kept ganking on at least 4 separate occasions, forcing me to burn both my summoners, once again, just to keep my carry alive. She only died once or twice during the whole game, so I feel I did that well, except volibear kept getting the kills instead of his support, but then he started charging around the map feeding on everyone.
In retrospect, (this was blind pick fyi), a Janna, Taric or Nami would be good to stun/knockup from range to stop his charge from a distance. Volibear as a support, I realize, isn't as tanky as a toplane pick, but he's still -very- tanky. A smart volibear stays back, in bush, lets the lane get pushed to his tower a bit, that way if he charge flips there's nowhere for them to run. All volibear support has to do is not to make dumb mistakes, and he'll win. I've played as a volibear support before, and I've won at least 80% of those lanes.
The problem is, I'm not sure how to counter it outside of playing draft pick and picking a taric or janna into the mix. The other problem was that I only went as Leona, because nobody else picked tanks. Everyone was super squishy (toplane fiora, jungler was a...kayne, I think?). Advice?
