Volibear's state right now.

So, this is kinda adressed to the champion update team but who am I to say we can't open a discussion here as well. What do you think of Voli right now? I have played him sicne 2 weeks after he came out (the first week he went f2p), and I've had really great games with him in the past. In the present, though, even if I keep winning most games with him, I think he feels outdated. Don't get me wrong, he's really nice as a jungler and he has good ganks, but... in teamfights you either summoner 4 + Q onto a carry, sneak from behind somehow (and the higher the elo, the less likely that is to happen) or just dive in and soak as much damage as you can, landing your W if you're lucky. The higher your league, in my oppinion, the less efective he is (I'm at Gold II, which is kinda mid-elo). I'm not speaking about him being weak or something like that (I would love some buffs but I know they are not necessary), I'm talking about him being a bit "out of the game", and outdated in terms of mechanics. So, I'm not asking if there are any plans on reworking him (I doubt there are any), I'm more asking about your oppinion (specially Rioters!)about him needing some kind of tweak.

That's all, thanks for your atention, have a nice day and revert the Azir R nerfs! Azir

I think he's very good actually. I can't speak for mid-high diamond but he's pretty borderline too strong for anything lower. He falls off pretty hard late game though. I usually gank a lot, and rely on my team to carry me when I play him (and it has worked out very well)

Volibear NERF THE CRAP OUT OF HIS PASSIVE! That is what needs to be done like crap...... this guy just wins games.. I face him on my gold account (this one) and my plat 3 account and he wins almost every single game. Why do you say he needs to flash in he is UNKILLABLE and just runs through the team VOLI DON'T CARE style grabs the carry and sticks to his shit like no one else can.... this guy needs a HUGE passive nerf or something. My HONEST opinion. I ban him EVERY chance I get.

He has strong early and mid game.Give him few kills and he will 1v3 your team.its not even funny.As a tank you have to fall off late game.Your job is to soak up as much dmg as you can ,and let your carrys do the job.he also has prety nice dmg as a tank (W+ulti+sunfire).There is a reason he sits at 54% win ratio.And 10% pick ratio.

I used to play him a lot but not anymore.

Why I stopped playing

  1. Lack of CC.
  2. Gets kited by every damn champ
  3. Except for W other abilities don't scale much, they are mah. Q is pretty useless to escape.

Why I play him

  1. I got good CC in my team and needs a tank.
  2. Can secure jg + fight most counter jgs.
  3. Is not facing vayne or ashe. ( They both can kill voli 1 vs 1 post lvl3)

For lack of CC+any tanky stats I choose Mumu for CC and shyv for tanky stats at all lvl.
