Volibear actually got nerfed in Pbe overall

First off the Buff to his E seems helpful but it's actually not. Ur E does knockback the enemy, so instead of slowing him, u are actually knocking back the enemy away from u and helping him Escape. Sure in some ways the E will be useful but in MY pbe experience actually it's not that much and was a hinderence in ganking potential. U have to reach the target with his Q first or else u won't reach the opponent.

Secondly his W still does no damage, I was 5/5 and lost to a ryze 2/3 1vs1 without him Kiting. And everyone is building Morrellos now which has grievous wound , bye bye volibear passive.

So overall Volibear remains the weakest class in game, and thanks to the new Morrellos and the knockback which hinders u a little bit in ganks, Volibear actually got nerfed overall.

I am a little confused on the E decision. I can see where if you Q the opponent over your head, it could be good as you can knock them back down lane away from escape again. However, in situations where you are not between them and their escape path, it is a bad ability that knocks them further away as mentioned.

The E has an additional stun that makes up for the knockback, and catching an enemy with the edge of the E radius simply stuns allowing you to quickly catch up. Plus Qing back towards your side and Eing knocks them further away from their turret, and timed right once the Q lands they can't avoid the knockback since the target is airborne during it. The W does plenty damage as an execute, granted its mainly lategame, earlygame it does nothing, I feel moving around the W scaling could fix that.

Overall the current mini rework does give him some things to work with, but if anything it'd just feel cheap vs volibear.

If you're worried about gank potential and you used E to knock them towards your turret, then you're doing it wrong.

You're supposed to flank them, use E to knock them towards your teammate, and then if they manage to get away from you you can use Q to run up and flip them back again.
