Pls Keep Volibear a Bear

Volibear has always been a bear, which I think is what a lot of Voli fans like him as. If he gets visually updated to be closer to his lore, I worry that he'll be taken too far in the direction of a monstrous abomination. Although the concept is cool, I feel like Voli shouldn't be taken that far away from his roots for the sake of the people that like him as an armoured bear. From the initial explorations we got to see, I'm actually excited. He is still largely just a badass bear, which is the direction I hoped they would take him in instead of this eldritch horror they're painting him as. I'm just here to put my opinion out there - Volibear should be cool and intimidating, but unless he's still recognizable as an armoured polar bear, I think it would be making him too separated from the Voli we know, and would feel more like a new champion than a shiny new Volibear. That's just my opinion though, and although I personally would prefer if they kept him more within the realm of an animalistic creature than a monstrous one, I would accept the change if it's what the majority actually want. For this reason, I'm including a poll for the purposes of maybe accumulating some data on the matter that the right people at riot could perhaps see and use as a guide for the V element of hid VGU.

You do understand that Voli as depicted in "Silence for the Damned" had just come off a brutal fight with his fellow spirit-kin Ornn, which Voli's physical form took a heavy beating from (basically Ornn W'd Voli's face and melted half of it off).

The whole point of his depiction was because he needed Sejuani's tribe for more worshipers to heal himself. Hence his ugly description, its not his 'real' form, just the mangled mess of raw spiritual energy coming apart at the seams. Archaic and incomprehensible magic retangling itself back together, albeit incompletely.

Given time, focus, and with new sustenance Voli should put himself back into his preferred form, the one we're all familiar with.

Not to forget, does this not still look like a bear to you??

Don't you think there can be a middle ground? Animals can be monstrous as well, and I think Silence for the Damned added to his character instead of changing it. Remember he is from the old times of the League where "He's an armored bear lol" was actually enough character design. He needs more characterization than that.

He'll still be a bear. Theyll just rename tibbers to Volibear and call it a day. Fiddles needs the extra dev time.
