Volibear: Why no love

Sneaky Psyduck··1 votes·285 views

For the longest time I feel like Volibear has been very needing of some attention. But I from what ive heard Riot only listens to the chars that are playing in pro ranked and such. Not sure if that's true or not but I feel like voli deserves some buffing or something to help him be more than just a bear with hp regen.

When I was playing as much as I am now like I did 2 years ago. Voli was one of the guys I played a lot. I played him in Supp, Top, and Jung and he excelled. Now I can only do okay in Jungle.Volibear Let the storm follow in my wake!

Volibear is probably getting a Warwick level rework in the future.

Until then sit tight

It's hard to buff Volibear without changing his kit.

He has good stats and high values on his abilities. His problem is that he's incredibly predictable and easy to counterpick/counterplay.

He's still very snowbally, and I've seen him do well when he's supported by champions like Lulu or Zil. But against a lot of teams, he simply does not have the tools to reach the enemy backline. And, unlike most other juggernauts, he can't threaten frontliners.

He's an old-school bruiser. Before Riot started giving bruisers lots of %health and true damage, they would just give them massive flat base damage on their abilities. So, if he's ahead on levels, he deals a ton of damage while building pure tank, and rips apart squishies. But his damage falls off super hard late game, and can never really threaten other champions that stack tank items.

Giving him a little bit of %health damage (maybe as a passive on Frenzy) would give him something to do when he can't get on top of the enemy backline. It's unrealistic to expect him to be able to squishies; front-liners should have to care about his damage.

Yeah they should revert some of the nerfs that he got awhile back. They're going around buffing a ton of champions for the next patch but some how forgot about Volibear. It'd be a nice buff until he gets a full rework.
