Has tankiness, speed, cc, wave clear, and can one shot you easily. Thanks for this balanced champ rito.

UPDATE: Sorry for the rage guys, have a nice day.

Volibear is actually stupidly strong, anyone who disagrees is out their mind.

Just for being this honest, I like you.

He's also extremely easy to kite and shouldn't be 1-shotting anybody unless very fed. Just listing strengths doesn't mean anything.

Also...I see you got wrecked by a gold 1 voli minutes ago in your match history.

True but still. He wins lane easily. He outscales and has a great late game. Also has one of the highest winrates.

Considering you're complaining about Volibear, I'd say this is a fairly safe bet.

He's strong. He's rarely been weak, really. The issue is the current meta, not him particularly. He's just good against the types of champs that are common right now. He scales very well late game, but that's because he builds heavily tank. That's what tanks do late game. His early game isn't really that strong and can be abused. You just have to watch his passive and not engage without knowing it's down. In extended trades, he'll out dps you (as he should). When he's decently ahead, he's really scary...as are most fighters and tanks.

Anyway, he's strong but not OP. He's probably not even T1 right now....just strong. There's plenty of other champs I would rather not play against than him right now.

there is no adc that can 1v1 kite him if hes built right: q, deadmans, rightous glory, slow on his e, chilling smite, his ult is easy to range proc and his innate tankiness make it very easy to close in on a caught out adc

Kalista Lucian Ezreal Tristana Vayne Can all kite him fine. Also, you normally don't want to 1v1 a tank. As an ADC, usually you don't want to 1v1 anyone. You need your team to protect you so that you can do what you're supposed to do as any ADC:

  1. Stay alive
  2. Deal constant damage If you aren't doing those 2 things (since you're being dove and can't stop everybody coming at you by yourself), then you are in a bad position. Voli is strong but should not be getting through your support and/or frontline. He shouldn't be running through your entire team so he can 1v1 you.

Volibear is the most balanced champion in this game. His kit is perfectly synergized, each working well with another part, but not being ridiculously broken. No, he's not my favorite champion in this game, but I will admit he's quite close to.

Volibear Is Tanky. Yes, this is true. Correct me if I'm mistaken that Alistar Amumu Blitzcrank Braum Chogath Darius DrMundo Galio Garen Gnar Gragas Hecarim Illaoi JarvanIV Leona Malphite Maokai Mordekaiser Nasus Nautilus Pantheon Rammus RekSai Renekton Sejuani Shen Singed Sion Skarner Swain TahmKench Taric Thresh Udyr Vi and some more **Are Also Tanky. **

Speed. I would change this to Situational Speed. He can guaranteed catch you if he builds item 3706item 3142item 3742 with his Q and runs at you. But, Most Volibear players do not build item 3142 (though I might try this now), and speed is one of his unique's, just because he can be right next to you doesn't mean you are dead.

Waveclear. Uh, Waveclear? No Way. No smart Volibear builds high ap so he can one shot minions with his E and no smart Volibear wastes his ult on a minion wave.

One Shot You. This is a Garen like situation. His Bite scales off of his target's missing health. He will not be able to burst you down to a low health situation unless he got extremely fed.

Replying to your replys in one post, because I can.

One of the highest winrates - Rarely Played, You don't see one every game, and mostly only people that are good play with him.

Wins lane easily - Disengage immediately if he uses ult, engaging after its over (He will almost 100% have used Q if hes in AA range with you with his R) If you know his passive is up then harass him to proc it and all in when you know that it is down.

**I'm not saying hes weak or underpowered, if 5/5 was super weak and 1/5 was tryndamere he is probably a 2/5. ** [slayer-jinx-wink]

Volibear isn't the most balanced champion in the game

Velkoz is

Professor Ward1 votes

His frenzy could use a little nerf i think as he scales far too well with hp

item 1401 item 3748 item 3742 item 3065 item 3083 item 3111 item 3047 is scary.

my brother has picked him up recently and climbed outta bronze and into gold if that holds any weight.

If he feels its freelo what the heck

Flyer Beast2 votes

item 3930 better. item 3047 better. item 3022 >item 3083 . Good for your bro, He's prob getting fed a lot.

Volibear is one of the fastest champions in the game. How are we supposed to counter his dash and his throw? Oh, that's right, we can't. Volibear is nothing but an overloaded champion that should have never been released in the first place.

Are you a Zilean main, by chance?

What does that have to do with anything lol

Riot Zilean (yes, Zilean) hated the idea of Volibear being a champion. Come on, an armored bear? What the fuck guys.

I don't know if he's broken but I've had some success with him. I feel like most of my success comes with people not respecting my flip and just attempting to brawl me in my creepwave. Another thing is it's hilariously easy to turn on the enemy jungler if they don't commit pre-6 because your ult does some crazy damage. I think he's a great champion for severely punishing mispositioning, but not much more than that. Many other champions accomplish the same thing.
