Volibears seems to be a bit "overtuned".

Fat Bastard GOD··1 votes·411 views

This has been the third or fourth game where the enemy Volibear carries the game. Once mid game comes around, he gets so tanky you can't kill him, you can't run away from him, and he deals so much gosh darn damage. His E early game deals 400 damage. He builds no damage items, and can duel just about anyone. Builds full tank. Not even titanic hydra. Maybe a Sterak's because it boosts his AD. Basically, you can bring Fervor of Battle, pop your ultimate and demolish anyone in your path.

As a fed Swain, he literally walked up to me inside my tower, where he killed me. His score was the same as mine, but he stood inside my turret, killing me, and walked out the turret after killing me, with 3/4 of his HP. I had my ult, spells, CC, still just instagibbed me. I had a Frozen Heart, RoA, and tier 3 boots. What?

I don't know what to do against a 5k HP tank with extreme stickiness, burst, DPS, tank stats, and healing. He instagibbs squishies, and if you don't have a tank melter or very mobile teamcomp, he will carry.

Help. Kiting doesn't do much when he has a Nautilus, Malphite, and Morgana on his team.

volibear's problem is that he has to walk up to you to do anything, while you see him coming from the other side of the river

he's like the easiest champ in the game to avoid so it's ok he crushes if you let him get to you

You left out the part where you turned your ult off before you used zhonyas. There was like 20 minions + voli to heal off of if you had left it on and he wouldn't have been able to kill you lol. Also you did not have frozen heart.

A juggernaut doing what juggernauts do by design? The very nerve.

He has to hit you to do damage. Not just once or twice either. He only has an MS boost to get to you, a fling to put you where he needs you, and a slight slow to try and keep you in range. That sounds like a lot, but that sequence of events is much harder to execute than for you to mitigate his efforts to do so. Hit him with a slow. Use a dash. Or simply walk under your turret and tear his ass up if he tries anything.

Ahh. That's the problem. He will kill you inside your turret. As a fed Swain, he literally walked up to me inside my tower, where he killed me.

That seems more indicative of the poor state of turrets, really. I mean, yeah, if anyone can deal out a tower dive it's going to be someone beefy, but really the current state of the game doesn't do enough to really discourage that sort of behavior. Turrets are simply too weak.

A Swain really shouldn't have trouble staying away from Volibear though. I mean, I don't know if Rylai's is part of his natural build path, but the slow on it is disgusting to play against as a melee.

Really, look at all that CC and you think that Voli was the one sticking. Sigh what a joke.
