Volibear nerf

Siwery··6 votes·2,660 views

So let me just say this right now. This is not a hate thread on Volibear this is a thread for nerf ideas on Volibear .Now heres what i see his: -His q makes him pretty much impossible to kill mixed with his passive/item 3083. -His W passive is pretty balances as for his bite on the other hand is a pretty nasty blow when taken at low health. -His E slows making him impossible to kite unless you playing a decently hard champion (Vayne & Kalista ). -His R mixes with his kit very well and can literally delete the enemy team. 1)Skill level -Volibear doesn't take much skill as i've tried him (personal experiences, hes free so ye) and you pretty much run in like a crazed football player and beat the crap out of the enemy team with your R.This is ridiculous overpowered when you are trying to get into the backlines and you got this guy Volibear making you into a lightning rod.If you even get near the backlines he will run back and just fling you back. His W passive mixes well with his W and when he starts to clean up that bite does alot of damage.This is pretty much abusing a champions incredible strength and should gain a slight nerf. 2)Professional Play Now you don't see Volibear in high elo games because high elo people are actually good.Gold down is pretty much where this conflict happens.If you want to help everyone look at the people stuck in Bronze V because of this man (Thats me :D).League of Legends is revolved around pro league of legends but what about the people climbing and struggling to get up to Diamond or Challenger.High elo players don't face the same problems as Bronze V's so it is not an "Even Playing Field."Since you don't see many AFK's in your promos or people who cant flash over walls in high elo. 3)Design Core So heres what i see in Volibear design.A man eating bear who can charge at you with over 70 miles per hour that toss's you around like a ragdoll then eats you alive.In other words there't not much counter play in top lane when theres a bear charging at you unless you are playing some adc top which would result in 1 less tank which usually results in A LOSS.Only people I see as a viable top laner to counter Volibear is Gnar and many people can't play Gnar (In low elo).Theres not much skill when all you do is run in and fling them back then eat them alive.And then he can rush item 3083 with that cash and he doesn't have to recall. Just mix his passive with item 3083 and he will be full health by the time you get back to lane. 4)Reasoning My reasoning is that this champion is very well broken with his damage at level 1/2/3/4 with his kit.At high levels he turns into a fast moving tahm kench because you can't kill him.It's not very enjoyable for anyone who plays Volibear because of how easy it takes to play him and how much damage and health regen he can scale at very low levels.The only way i see a counterplay on volibear in early levels is a 5 man gank. Which also might go bad because of his ulti.This also just gives the other lanes to farm and win their lanes. 5)Current Environment The current environment of league is the TANK META.As you just go tanks with ridiculously damage and just win the game like that.Im not talking about the occasional item 3116 with ekko.Im talking Garen Volibear Shen Udyr andTahmKench on the same team. The current environment is this mess and we should nerf some of the people who can scale ridiculous health and still dish more damage then a MasterYi +item 3124. 6)Prioritize Discussion I sigh the terms and conditions and am ready to face more hate that the video Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus. 7)Final Thoughts Can you really capitalize discussion and level in the 1st and 6th numbers of the post here

You wish to nerf a tank/bruiser that must build hp items to scale, that has no strong cc and no instant re-positioning tool to get to your carries... True damage and Hp% damage would melt a Volibear because of his dependance on hp items.

There are many more champions I would consider to be nerfed before even looking at Volibear...

I stopped taking you seriously when you said it was a Tank Meta.

Take Vayne or Quinn top VS Volibear, and see how easily kited he is. Teemo is historically Volibear's most dreaded counter.

Volibear is simple to beat, if you know how to kite. If you manage to kite him until his Q wears off, he has no way to reach you.

I will say with SV as your fist item against Teemo, you really stop caring about him fast b/c of the MR + Regen when you get hit, it softens his E up super well. But other than that, yeah you just slow/stop him when he Q's at you and hes got nothing.

Same thing here you losing a tank if you read the next sentence it explains that you are losing a tank and that usually results in a loss.

Just because your top laner isn't a tank, doesn't mean your team doesn't have one. Jungle and Bot both have opportunities to have a tank or two for your team.

all i heard is: all his abilities are impossible to deal with....are you ok man? you should really think hard about what you are saying.

''-His R mixes with his kit very well and can literally delete the enemy team.''

you lost me there....lol....i didnt know 150 dmg per auto could delete a whole team.

his attacks should be nice since he isn't a ranged champ, at all. he has no ranged abilities. other than maybe his R

but rushing that item first is useless. as it doesn't active it's passive until you have 3k hp, which Voli won't have if he rushes that item first (which means he will be low level)
