I take back every thread I made about Voli

I finally figured out how to play him and damn is he strong.

Took me a ton of losses to figure it out but now playing him actually feels viable and not a total hindrance to my team.

Basically his damage is sufficient with base stats alone. Don’t even bother with Titanic Hydra either. Literally just go full tank but rush Righteous Glory.

These are the key ingredients:

Aftershock Ingenius Hunter

Item Build:

item 1039 item 2031 -> (any version of the jg item) -> item 3800 ->item 1401 -> item 3742 -> item 3143 +item 3065 -> item 3748 (literally last item, cuz you don’t need damage at all until the end of end game)

Voli is a terrible tank cuz he has 0 peel outside Q but he shreds through enemies with so much base damage that they can’t afford to simply walk past him.

RG+Ingenius lets you gank reliably more often and Aftershock + tank build lets you sit there longer and be alive long enough to execute people with that ridiculous full tank W bite.

I’ve tried celerity+waterwalking, relentless hunter, a bunch of inspiration stuff and a ton of keystones (phase, grasp, pta, SS, glacial) but literally nothing even came close to performing how this specific setup does. Same for items.

Finally someone gets it. He doesn't need a huge overhaul. You just have to figure out how to use him correctly. Also he makes a lovely support if you max his roar first and build lane sustain.

Voli bear isnt supposed to be a tank he is supposed to be a Juggernaut. Sure you get him to work in the jungle where he goes uncontested because you make up his extra health from cinderhulk but voli bear mostly is horrible becuase of the massive hp nerfs in the tank up date and large defensive nerfs early season 7. so then the hp nerfs hit and the resistnaces got buffed they really only gave back what they took away slightly. with your build you arent playing voli bear you are playing active item build to spam with ingenious hunter

Wait... where’s the problem? If it works it works right?

(Btw yes he’s a Jugg, not a tank. He just builds full tank)

It is a problem if he only works off of artfical extra hp and only permits him to be played in a the jungle when he was and is supposed to be a top laner. Also if Voli didnt have a fear vs minions and monsters he would get killed in the jungle even with his passive that is supposed to be a lane fighting tool. which feel exceedingly bad

No he was intended to be a jungler from the start. He was supposed to be both, back when riot thought they could release champions that could be balanced for more han one position and attempted to do so for everyone.

Remember when Vi was released and they said she was a top/jg? Yeah, noone cares about that top part anymore.
