whenever i play him, everyone is always like "how does he do so much damage?" and "he just wont fucking die" and stuff like that. when will people understand that you cant underestimate the bear. hes just too good. he got the speed boost + flip, an aoe slow that fears minions, a chain autoattack enhancer, and an execute that has its damage increased by 1% for each 1% the enemy's health is missing, and by his own max health. and he regains health rapidly once he is below 30% health, which just puts him back at 60% health over a bit of time. whats not to love about it?

Because kiting is a thing, he is viable, but he isn't OP because kiting.

Volibear is a lazy frankenstein-esque combination of a number of champions with unique strengths and weaknesses.

Volibear does not have their weaknesses. He just freight-trains through enemy teams and wrecks their shit. I mean, for shit's sake he's got a Mundo Ult as a passive and a bite that will reliably deal around 400 base damage and 25% of his bonus health as bonus damage. Just...holy shit. Why the fuck would anyone do this? D:

He is pretty fucking strong but I don't think he will ever be called OP. He doesn't bring much to a team other than damage and most of the time he is pretty easy to avoid and ignore outright.

Most people that are competent know not to duel him. Its like dueling a Darius. Even late game they will stomp the ever living shit out of you and you should just keep kiting them until they are low enough that they can't do anything to you.

He is pretty fucking scary if fed tho. Especially if he has item 3800 item 3143

When everyone has dashes and unlimited mobility backing em up, Volibear is a sad armored bear.

But, tank meta. Nobody can get away now it's awesome. His combat peel is deceptively good and while passive/R basically suck their best use case is in long drawn out team fights like we are in. Volibear arise!

Ssshhhhhhh, don't let Riot hear.

But yea, I used to play pretty much only Volibear. And then I hear jungle Voli is really strong right now. So I try him out and proceed to hardcore Carry three games in a row.

He has so much innate damage AND tank early game. Then if the enemy is pushed far enough that they can't just flash into turret range, you can save your flip to bring him back to your teammate and get that glorious W off.

He's a dps tank, a fighter and tank hybrid. Once he builds hybrid, he's got dps. But he lacks good, ranged, hard cc as compensation. Even his throw requires a melee autoattack.

To properly deal with Voli, your frontline must lock him down while the adc melts him. That's how you deal with tanks, it is the adc's job to focus them. You can help, depending on your kit, but it's best to lock him down and prevent him from getting past. Blow some cc if you have to, but do not let him or any fighter/tank reach your adc.

This is why kiting and positioning are important skills to learn. There's counterplay, don't ignore it and just complain about his damage. All of it is close range. Anyone in melee should be durable, and any ranged champions should be kiting him and not be in his range in the first place. That's on them, not Volibear.

He isn't that good. No long ranged cc. Hardly any lock down cc, and a slow first clear. Plus he can't do drag till around level 6

Volibear at lvl 6 is so insane good! I play volmi a lot and usally have 2-5 kill before lvl 7. At lvl 6 its instant kill or double kill. Just do so you come behind him so he must pass you then e and spam auto attack and when he is behind you q him back and finish him with w. If lvl 6 have r on. Can't belive no one plays him. Is is so underrated.

I have played against 3 volibears in recent knowledge. two of them dc'd (one for the first 10 minutes, the other for the last 10 minutes) and the other one died while ganking several times i know this isn't good evidence, but atm its all i have to judge volibear.
