I like volibear. I used to play him when he was considered an op pick but not an annoying pick. Everyone was too focused on fiddlesticks, veigar, etc. Recently they decided to but his ultimate hit 8 targets let me beta yi's alpha strike which was his ultimate before his q. No "unbearable" pun intended 😉. He can still solo carry like any the there bruiser but not as common as something like you if he gets fed. That's how every bruiser is. He w can exicute targets at 1/4th hp early. It's cool how it does that. It's damage is getting lowered since they are shifting heath to resistances. Sterak's and warmogs are getting buffed. Black cleaver is getting nerfed. They are lowering the armor reduction per hit by 1% which in total is 6% gone. Other potential pitfalls are kiting, slow clears, ignite, and grieavous wounds. That aside is he any good and how hard of a hit are the health to resistance changes since his w scales with bonus hp.

No point in picking immobile champions. Even the supports now have 3 dashes... There are tankier champions than him with actual CC.

To be perfectly honest, Volibear just isn't worth it. He has so much trouble getting onto priority targets without flash, has no good CC for ganking with, and a just fucking terrible teamfight ult. If you want to play a champion that has a similar playstyle but it actually good, play Hecarim

I actually haven't played him in a while. I was just curious. I have others like xin zhao and vi. Except the problem isn't getting g to them, it's getting out. The reason I'm playing these champions is to replace shyvana since all the mobile champions shit on her. All health scaling champions are getting a nerf tbh.

At that point, if you want a champion that excels at not only getting onto his targets, but also gets out alive with smart play, you might invest time into Warwick
