Im a big fan of Volibear and I use to main him a bit when I first started ranked and all these changes to Voli since Ornn's release are a very welcomed change to me since I love gods and stuff like that and I felt like there should be a list that should be made for when Volibear's VGU is finally out in 2020 obviously people can post their ideas since this wont be that long of a list

-Volibear should stay a bear: Obviously since thats his main part of his character

-Volibear should have weapons in his back: Hes described as "Thousand pierced bear" due to having weapons lodged into his back and he should have them like concept 2 it should stay a part of his character plus if he has lightning going off they could show some interesting VFXs plus give him a unique silhouette

-His armor shouldnt be clean: Its described in Silence of the Damned as caked with brown gore from previous battle and I feel that is a really good thing to keep. Riot has a tendency to make characters armor clean even though they may be fighting constantly and it could give off that ruthlessness that Volibear needs

-His title should change: With his lore changing "The thunder's roar" doesnt really seem as cool as "The thousand pierced bear" could plus it fits with his lore as that is what some freljordians call him

-He should have lightning bouncing off him all the time: Ingame Volibear should have small bolts jumping around his fur, his weapons lodged in his back if he gets them, and around his legs that bounce to the ground around him it brings the idea of a lightning alot more into his theme then just having it on abilities would

-His interactions shouldnt be jokey: I have nothing wrong with joke interactions but for Volibear it wouldnt fit

Now somethings that I would like that arent that important

-He should have battle damage: This one is more of a could happen but it doesnt really matter. Riot has been trying to give their champions more unique and interesting mechanics Zoe summoner stealing, Neeko appearance copying, Sylas ult stealing, and even Mordekaiser taking 1 person to a different realm are all to give them interesting and unique stuff to their kit, so Im thinking what if they gave Volibear something unique to him that isnt just a new ability mechanic by making him get a look when he gets lower on health by showing his skull

-If his ult still makes him full of lightning he should get a filter on his voice that sounds like lightning cracking

This is all I could thing of right now if anyone has anymore ideas comment them. Im super excited for this VGU and I hope they take some of these ideas into thought

Dont forget a taunt towards Darius about how war changes like moods. [slayer-jinx-wink]

As long as we don't get some unbearable puns

I want to see his Interactions with Ornn & Anivia. Being someone that likes Ornn, I want to know more about the Bad Blood between him & Volibear.

Perhaps something that could inspire them is the design of the bear antagonist Mor'Du from the Pixar Movie Brave.

I'm not saying base the new Volibear DIRECTLY on this, but his design, similar to some of the concept art we've already seen, DOES match up with that "Thousand Pierced Bear" thing we know from Voli's new lore. Broken weapons are sticking out of Mor'Du, like some of the new Volibear concept art. He's got scars and battle wounds all over him like the idea of a "Thousand Pierced Bear" like Voli would.
