I played Volibear BRONZE 5 to PLAT!!!!!! HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS
Hi
Hi i have logged hundreds and hundreds of Volibear games. I Started playing this game since season 4 and pretty much only played Volibear in ranked from Bronze 5 all the way to plat and still climbing. I really enjoyed building Zehpyr on Volibear because it gave me HUGE atk speed and move speed as well as tenancy and cooldown. I think this item is BETTER than the trinity force on Volibear because its $1000 dollars cheaper, meaning I can get my offensiveness powerspike $1000 dollars sooner and be tanky $1000 dollars sooner. I really enjoyed playing him as a tanky fighter carry. Even in plat very often i still get scores such as 20/4/17. I tried full tank volibear and when compared to atk speed volibear, I just can't carry as hard carry and its WAY less fun to play.
SO NOW AFTER THE NEW UPDATE the zehpyr item has been DELETED, and to make things worse the super expensive triforce has its atk speed reduced by a WHOPPING 15%. So now, There is really no as good of an atk speed item anymore for volibear. Almost all my games i cant afford to build triforce because of how expensive it is. Im the main tank of team so tank has to be priority whereas before if im a bit ahead i can afford to go zehpyr first THEN go tanky which makes me a super strong dualist that can almost oneshot enemy adc and mages, literally. NOW im just building tank most of the time and its just not as fun to play anymore. **To give you a perspective, Zehpyr gave 50% atk speed and 10% movespeed along with tenancy. Trinity force now only gives 15% atk speed and 5% move speed. That is 35% LESS atk speed on volibear and dont forget its MUCH more expensive so most of the time you cant afford to get that offensiveness first before tankyness. **
So RIOT PLEASE relook into the items. You have made the adcs really strong this patch but seems like you forgot about the fighters that benifit from a combination atk speed tenancy, movespeed AND CD all in one package. NO ITEM now gives that pakage. And BOTORK is kinda useless and wasteful for champs with low life steal capabilities. **IN CONCLUSION, please re-look into the item balenng, think about the atk speed fighters like VOLIBEAR. Zehpry is gone and triforce is not as good on volibear when comcipared to before due to the atk speed reduction. I HOPE you can add an item into game in future patches that fits the need of tanky atk speed fighters such as Volibear. Please look into this riot. ** Thank you.
