Volibear Update concept

FlameHalbrdOkido··2 votes·2,337 views

Chosen of the Storm Volibear periodically regenerates 30% maximum health over 6 seconds when below 30% maximum health while within a cloud.

Turbulent Updraft ACTIVE: Volibear gains bonus movement speed for the next 4 seconds, doubled when moving towards a nearby visible enemy champion within 1800 units of him knocking minions aside. While active Volibear's next basic attack deals bonus physical damage and flings his target over and behind himself. Turbulent Updraft resets Volibear's autoattack timer, and pulls/pushes clouds within 500 units along within him.

Frenzy->Thundering Frenzy PASSIVE: Volibear's AA's grant bonus attack speed for 4 seconds, stacking up to 3 times and generate a stationary cloud (with a 100 unit radius) every 2 AA. At 3 stacks, Volibear gains the ability to cast Lightning Frenzy. Active: For the next 6 seconds, Volibear's basic attacks deal the same damage as bonus magic damage that bounces to up to 10 nearby clouds (within 500 units of each other). Enemies monsters and towers within 400 units of clouds, take damage, increased by 25% for every cloud they are within range of.

Roaring Downburst ACTIVE: Volibear roars forcefully pulling down the air from the sky dealing magic damage to all nearby enemies and knocks nearby clouds back to 500 units slowing and knocking down and grounding enemies that pass through them for 3 seconds. Minions and monsters will be feared. Has no cast time while Turbulent Updraft is active and will not interrupt it.

Supercell Warrior ACTIVE: Volibear rises up and draws in clouds within 3000 units gaining size, bonus HP, and AA range before slamming down and dealing magic damage within 500 units. Airborn targets are suspended for 0.75 sec and take bonus damage. For the next 12 sec. Volibear's AA create a cones of hail storms that last 1 sec that slow enemies. The Supercell Warrior's AoE, Volibear's size, and AA range all all increased by the number of clouds pulled in.

In terms of Lore I feel like Volibear can be both a mystic seer vastayn polar bear Ursine and a Demi-god. Think of it as Volibear picks the most suitable host to inhabit out of the Ursine the one that reflects his attributes the best and this time it was a seer. I guess that kinda makes Volibear like an aspect, but its more like the the Ursine seer is channeling Volibears power, they kinda share the reigns unlike pantheon who gets completely taken over and unlike Leona, Diana, and Zoe who merely use the Aspects power, the Seer and the Demi-god have become one, like the Avatar idk.

Volibear Hello; coming from this concept and reading yours: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/YQMuqBAd-a-bear-rework

Although I do like the concept of adding more storm flair to his kit I feel that the increased cluster of particle effects (the storm clouds) may cause too much clutter. In addition they make Volibear in theory play more like Illoai and her tentacles; building up an area that he can dominate rather then he himself being the storm that initiates and brawls people. I do like the male-storm like idea you're going for and the ultimate feels pretty cool but IMO could be achieved without the storm clouds.

Thank you so much for sharing and do understand what I say is my opinion; Riot after all will have the final say in the matter. Let the Storm Lord return!

Volibear I replied to your concept idea on the Volibear update thread you shared but just in case for everyone else who view this thread:

"Although I do like the concept of adding more storm flair to his kit I feel that the increased cluster of particle effects (the storm clouds) may cause to much clutter.

this is a good point

In addition they make Volibear in theory play more like Illoai and her tenticles; building up an area that he can dominate rather then he himself being the storm that initiates and brawls people.

Im a weather enthusiast so I may have taken the weather theme too far but isn't "building up an area that he can dominate" exactly how weather works? It builds up in an area over time or approaches an area over time building up, then it unleashes all hell and no one can do anything about it at that point.

I wanted to put as many aspects of weather into his kit as I can. I really dislike it when moba make "storm" champions and then they only part of the storm they reflect is lightning, as a weather enthusiast theres SO much more to weather than JUST wind and lighting which really makes me upset when Riot acts like they have the weather theme filled out with Kenne, Yas, and Janna...no...they do not im afraid. But I made so Voli's clouds are MUCH more dynamic than Illaoi's tents, Q moves them with u, E pushes them away (towards the area u want them if u maneuver correctly) and R pulls them in. You never have to stay in place to use the clouds, and while u can play around them...u dont have 2 because all u gotta do is cast W to get some new ones

Maybe thats too much a literal translation than what u were looking for in a Voli update thats more weather themed. True, or untrue?

Voli himself is still being the storm, he is the one generating the clouds that the lightning comes from, the clouds are apart of him, maybe theres a way it can be done with less cluttered particle effects, and makes it seem like he's the source.

I do like the male-storm like idea you're going for and the ultimate feels pretty cool but IMO could be achieved without the storm clouds."

true

Again; it is my opinion. Everyone's idea and opinion is here to give the lightning bear love. The Storm Lord thanks you!
