Tank Volibear.......
Yi gets nerfed because he can go tank. Fiora gets nerfed for the same reason. Volibear is chilling hear with no damage items and out damages the ADC. He needs a nerf

The difference is Voli is supposed to deal that damage while going full tank,where as Fiora and Yi were not.
He is out preforming most other melee by a fair margin which would suggest he is too strong currently.
Nerfs should be in store for him but for some reason they are not.
I would say make voli have to scale harder off tank stats t obe effective but he already do that fairly well.
IT is actually more about items being to fool friendly to building tank and getting to do damage though so not so much the bear is OP but the items on the bear are OP.
His bite deals a ridiculous fucking amount of cheese damage, but it's always been this way. People knew about this and volibear really wasn't played that much, until now. Whatever was used back then that made volibear unviable can be used now.

It's %hp based and since he doesn't technically have a killshot ult that's what bite is... The less health you have, the more dmg bite is going to do.
it's not hard to play smart when you find yourself in a situation like that.
I agree with Wrath, and also considering it's long cooldown of 18 seconds [On champions] he'll get to barely bite someone, even with 40% cdr that's still 10.8 seconds, his Q is merely a knockback, his E is a slow, and his ult is his sustained damage. The thing about Volibear is that if you can slow him/kite him long enough for his Q to go on cooldown, he'll find himself standing there awkwardly, and he can't 1v2+ easily because of said CD on his W, my main fear is that if Riot brings down the Nerf on Volibear it will throw him in the garbgae pile since he just rose to meta after being barely played for so long.
i agree he needs a nerf but i dont really know how it should be done. it certainly does too much damage for being that tanky.. but like you said it does have a long cooldown.
the issue with him is that he can sit and cc and 1v3 your team for about 10 seconds even after the bite goes on cooldown. giving ample time for this team to come help
its not just the damage of the bite thats the issue.. its the cc and the lockdown he gives even when the bite on cooldown. he is tremendously hard to kite.
like i said.. i dont really know HOW to nerf him without making him useless.. he needs some kind of nerf... but i dont know what
maybe target his base values and scaling a bit or increase the cooldown of his other skills.. im not sure
he donest need a big nerf.. but he does need to be toned down a bit

Well then start with his slow and the speed of his charge. Lowering the MS of Rolling Thunder to 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40% at rank 1 would not kill him and making the slow on Majestic Roar be 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40% or lowering the duration to 2 seconds would make him less oppressive to other melee without hinting his damage. All of his abilities would still be functional with such a change.
Agreed man. Won't damage him much but he needs a nerf in his early game and maybe better in late. Like shyv

Well, what can I say :^)

Downvoting Volibear main? [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]
volibear shines/does too well when he is ahead but when late game comes he falls off like a brick. he has the same issue as old old garen did, if you are a garen main you know what i mean.
he needs a rebalance tbh he does 1 thing too well but pays for it if it drags out kinda like a early fed pantheon.
