How to Volibear?

Title. I know he's been a C tier champ forever, but I want to like him. I just find his kit is underwhelming. Not tanky (no built in defensive abilities outside of passive, which the enemy just uses grievous wounds to negate), not good in teamfights (so many times the enemy literally just ignores me and runs past me), predictable kit (passive is predictable and you know all he's got is running at you), slow clear times, long cooldowns, but good-ish at ganking assuming the target doesn't have disengage. How do people build him rune and item wise?

I've been going resolve with immobilize. I've tried going inspiration with boots and approach velocity with mediocre results, but domination with out of combat MS and eyeballs (because thats the only thing that kinda makes sense) is also pretty meh. Go stalkers > tiamat > cinderhulk > titanic hydra > get tanky.

Help me like Volibear pls!

I would highly recommend playing him in the jungle if your going to play him at all, since one thing he still has going for him is decent ganks and early dueling. Get item 3800 asap, it has insane synergy with his Q, and allows him to have really good initiation/ catch potential. I don't think you need item 3748 , at all your first two items should be item 1401 and item 3800 , then go full tank, preferrably buy items that give you hp and resists, so that you scale your passive and your W ( bite ,item 3143 item 3075 ,item 3083 ,item 3742 item 3065 all are decent choices on him.

For the runes I would recommend resolve tree. aftershock keystone, and secondary precision for the attack speed, since voli attacks quite a bit for his bite and ult.
