A giant bear running at me isn't scary at all

I'll preface this by saying I know I'm terrible at this game.

I also know that Volibear has decent success rates at lower ranking tiers and in more casual settings, but that he falls off at higher levels of play

With that said, Volibear isn't scary. He's a juggernaut with middling dueling power, middling chase ability, and middling teamfight potential. When a giant bear wearing electrical pulsing armor is running at me, I feel like it should be a terrifying experience, and that I'd need to pull out heavy peel to avoid his relentless advance. Instead, Volibear is a low-durability fighter with decent sustained damage who falls apart to a single burst combo or is stopped by mediocre peeling tools.

I wouldn't want to increase his power blindly where it could have a detrimental effect on casual gameplay, so I think his kit could do with some tuning to allow moments of fear-inspiring aggression, but also allow windows of opportunity if his opponent can stand their ground well enough.

Stats Attack growth increased to make better use of Sterek's Gage, lowered at early levels Base attack 59.5 +3.3 per level (116 at level 18) -> 56 + 4 per level (124 at level 18) (Base attack break even point: level 6: 76 base AD)

Starting Armor higher to allow safer first clear in the jungle and make early trades in lane. Armor at level 18 drastically reduced to compensate for changes to passive Base Armor: 26.38 + 3.5 per level (81.4 at level 18) -> 30 + 1.84 per level (61.28 at level 18) (Base armor break even point: level 5: ~37 armor)
