I want Volibear to be the fighter Aatrox never was
Remember before Aatrox released that people took his theme and speculated that he'd be a fighter who could inspire allies and would have some vaguely support-like quality? Some kind of war hero/leader deal with a buff or an aura?
That idea never came to be, sadly, but I think we have a second chance with a champion who, post-retcon, is just as viable a contender for the role. 
being an actual war god, with his own personal army and who's currently lacking much if any unique qualities to his kit. Just one ability that's put on to buff allies would be amazingly perfect for him. The idea came to me this morning and it's the first possibility I've mulled over that got me excited for what he could be.
You might think it's a very big leap from his current kit, and weird for a Volibear enthusiast to want something so different, but I'd like to justify why I think he'd be a perfect fit for the idea:
-
It's cool
-
It'd be thematically consistent; given that Volibear is a warmonger, being able to bolster his allies in the thick of a fight makes sense. It makes even more sense that he's a demigod, and given that the Seal Sister in-lore gives sailors her blessing for safe passage, Volibear being able to bless his followers isn't too much of a stretch. No disconnect from his fantasy!
-
If done correctly and isn't a super-general "raise damage" or "boost all defense" then it'd give Volibear a potent niche to slot himself into on top of whatever the rest of his kit could do. The top priority for Voli rework should be giving him a distinct identity in the game.
-
Volibear is needing some unique spells to give him a good calling card. There's nothing that really points to Volibear being Volibear and not just being a worse version of another champion. The "leak," as much as I doubt its sincerity, has me worried that he'll be another "more of the same" Juggernaut like we've seen from the last three
Thanks for reading. I hope you like the idea as much as I do.
