##I know Riot wants to turn VolibearVolibear into a more damage focused Juggernaut... ya know for the fights... so here's what I would like to see in each ability for his rework. The idea is SIMILAR, SIMPLE, AND MODERN, give Voli the tools of a Juggernaut (WITH SOME FORM OF COUNTER-PLAY). ##Enjoy!


#DISCLAIMER: Personally I don't like the idea of juggernauts. Them being "tanks" that deal massive damage is in, my honest opinion, not health and leads to them being strong or weak no where in-between. All numbers and scalings are subjective, can change. Imagines are used to give a general ides, not exact. REMEMBER THESE ARE ONLY IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS.


P) URSINE PRIDE CD: 120/110/100 For every second in combat Volibear gains** Slow Resist** (~50% max) and Tenacity (~35% max). When reduced below 35% Max Health gain 40% damage reduction for 6 seconds and all Healing on Volibear is increased by 50%.

Q) VOLTAIC CHARGE CD: 13/12/11/10/9 https://i.imgur.com/AjeU3hf.jpg[/img] Volibear slams down on all fours, after .5s turning into a pure bolt of mystic lightning crackling forward in target direction, Physically Damaging (Scales with AP or Bonus HP) and Slowing enemies. Volibear leaves behind a trail of lighting that after .75s collapses unto itself Magically Damaging (Scales with AP) and Stunning enemies inside.

W) LIGHTNING CLAWS CD: 20/18/16/14/12 https://i.imgur.com/RA6KK9t.jpg[/img] Passive: Basic attacks charge Volibear with electricity, gaining Health Regen (Scales with Bonus HP and Regen) and Incoming Healing, stacking 3 times. At max stacks Volibear can cast Lightning Claws consuming the stacks, but gaining a large flat burst of Movement and Attack Speed for 6 seconds.

Active: Your basic attacks release mystic lightning, Magically Damaging (scaling with AP and Bonus AD)(HYBRID IS FUN) and instantly bouncing to X enemies for 6 seconds. (You cannot generate stacks while this skill is active and the skill goes on cooldown after effect ends).

E) CALL OF THE STORM CD: 11 https://i.imgur.com/0eCpih6.jpg[/img] Gather the fury of the electrical storm around you and then send out a furious roar that Magicaly Damages (Scales with AP), Knocks-back, and **Slows **enemies, while granting Volibear a Shield (Scales with Bonus HP). This skill can be charged increasing the Damage, Knockback Distance, and Shield Strength based on how long you charge it. While charging you incur a movement debuff.

R) GOD OF THE MAELSTROM CD: 120/90/70 https://i.imgur.com/Cv2JZy1.jpg[/img] Volibear calls down a massive bolt of lightning Magically Damaging nearby enemies while enveloping himself with energy, reverting to his most primal form and empowering his abilities for 12 seconds. His size is increased and you gain HP (Scales with Bonus HP).

Q) Can dash upto two times before cooldown and is now unstoppable. In addition, the lighting trail left behind collapses instantly. W) This ability can be activated at any stacks and deals Bonus Physical Damage based on targets Max Health. E) This ability charges twice as fast, slows nearby enemies while charging, and has no movement penalty.

#This is how I imagine Voli looking like after he casts his ult! You guys take what you will of this set of ideas, but remember its just my thoughts on the rework, not gospel. Thank you again!

I really appreciate all the work you put into into the effects here! Personally, I like Voli’s identity as a champ that runs around a fight, flipping high priority targets into his team, and dealing decent delayed burst damage. If I were to change anything about this proposal, I’d make the E pull towards Voli, akin to an Oriana ultimate. Otherwise, pretty cool idea!

that's cool but i want voli to be more bear-like. He should be something like olaf but with cc and less damage.

Now I love the kit, it’s very interesting and it definitely modernizes Voli’s kit. But my worry is that Voli will stick to a target a way too easily. I think that you should either lower the tenacity from his passive and keep the other parts, or lower the CC and MS from his abilities.

Oh two questions: Is it a linear dash? Like Kled’s E, or is it more like Kennen’s E. Is his Q unstoppable? If it is unstoppable then his sticking power should 100% be lowered. If not, then I think something interesting you could do is nerf his empowered Q slightly but make it unstoppable. For example: lower the Q damage/stun duration, # of times it can be casted is just 2 times but the dash is unstoppable.
