Why isn't volibear a meta champ? He's been stealthbuffed ALL season

item 3717 Damage reduction. Hp bonus. True damage. item 3748 Waveclear that scales off hp. Tons of hp. Decent damage item 3083 Self-explanitory since it's a core item. The new passive just makes it so much more fun item 3053 One of those "i feel like it" items that works great but isn't a big deal if you get or not hp a shield and damage item 3512 Damage now scales off hp. Gives him ms bonus near buildings which is most of the time in the game item 3742 tons of hp. tons of armor. Helps his issue with being kited. Has a slow from the passive item 3800 Another "I feel like it" item that usually a support gets but if not can easily pick up and help even more with his kite issue summoner 12 is usually the meta top lane so if you go there most people don't bring ignite and if they do they lose a lot of map pressure that you can easily apply summoner 7 having that thing about grevious wounds being removed being added awhile back just makes it even better

Why hasn't he hit the meta especially since the tank/juggernaut meta is around? Bear has been getting so many indirect buffs this season it's crazy

Ban her or tell your team to constantly camp bot and or pick assassin like yi/kat etc. who can instantly burst her down before she can react then they're left with a bear that nobody can hurt ;)

Any champion with items removes their built in problems, kind of what items do, and he needs to work up to those.

Simple. He is weak in most team comp, and weak against most of the team comps. Even if he is fed it's easy to deal with him in a teamfight and non of this items give defense against ad dps, every carry can melt him and he can't rly do anything against it.

vayne cancer 48% pick rate.....

Plus BTRK/DEVOURER junglers destroy Volibear

Plus League of kalista mobility so voli can even hit a target!

voli is a good champ but riot make the game "If you don have mobility then dont play"

exactly what jamaree said. he...like mostly melee top laners without a gap closer can be kited into oblivion. Volibear in lane though is a whole nother factor. he can crush his lane early if the enemy laner does not respect you. and snowball out of control. however, come late game he is generally kited pretty easily. as his main form of engage is only a movement speed buff that honestly isnt even that strong. like rammus does what voli does only better and even he's not meta for the same reasons.

Hes the perfect champion to have if your team has some kind of engage already. And he comes in as the second engage. But as a tank with no good hard CC and no good gapcloser. Its hard man.. One adc with Botrk and red buff can take him on 1v1 and win. Voli can be at max item and lose to a 3 item ADC with red buff, thats why he isnt meta.

i honestly like chilling smite on voli more just because of how important it is to catch someone before q's duration expires. i tried red smite in the beginning but it didn't yield anything close to the same results blue smite does

also, since righteous glory's been nerfed to no longer give valor's reward, rushing it on voli jungle isn't as viable anymore so you won't have the easy engage either

Purely melee which makes laning potentially problematic - especially if you want to build damage on him. Not enough CC in his kit to warrant building Tank. Doesn't hit any meaningful powerspikes fast enough in the jungle to warrant building Off-Tank/Bruiser.

At best, you can abuse the Juggernaut items on a Top Lane Voli until they get nerfed. That said, Voli would probably get torn apart by the likes of Darius or Garen in lane.
