How is Lethal Tempo? I have been using on Volibear and I really enjoying using it.

I need some advice on how to play full tank volibear. I love the sunderer build and often find success using it, but the tank build just feels extremely underwhelming. If my team falls behind mid game i cannot seem to do anything to get the lead back because I just lack the damage to do so. Should I go tank only against very squishy teams?

Alright, I guess I just figured out what's wrong. My jungle pathing is off and i fall behind in levels, so I can't really do any damage, nor can I peel efficiently because I die too quickly. Not an item problem, it's a me problem.

Love it!

When should I be looking to build Fimbulwinter? Any reason you're not building it on most builds?

The reason I'm not a huge fan of Fimbulwinter is because other items let you either set up kills or duel 1v1 better. Deadman's 2nd lets you dive towers to set up kills and get around the map better, where as something like Sterak's lets you duel better. Fimbul can work certain games, but overall I like other options more.

When would you recommend to use each runes?

In general I highly recommend the Press the Attack page. It's really easy to proc PTA with Voli, and it gives you better dueling potential and and increases damage your target takes from you and your allies. Some players like predator to spam ganks. I'd say just test both out and see which you like more, but overall I definitely think PTA is the best rune page for Voli.

very niiiiiiiiiice

Hey man, will you do a little update of this guide? Since jungle became tougher 'cause of 11.4 I think a little update for this guide would be good.

Hey man, I just got back to Plat and updated the guide. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey, yeah I'm going to update it soon. I'm still testing a few things, but mainly I think going Chemtank more often, and focusing on ganking as much as you can early are the main changes I'd recommend. It's a little rough because faster clearing jungles like Udyr and Mundo are the kind of champs that suffered the least from the jungle change, while Voli's clear speed is average to slightly slower than average right now.

Good guide, surprised he's gold haha

Haha yeah. I finished Plat 3 last season but this season has been rooooooooough

For you to know, seeing nothing else for the sense of league as such, these builds can be applied up to and including high/diamond platinum and master? besides what do you think of the other guide who made the Balori streamer from voli, do you consider it correct their style of play with voli?

(1) |

It's kind of hard to understand your question, but yes these builds could probably be played all the way up to masters. I finished the season Platinum 3 last season. With that said, Voli isn't the strongest jungle right now. There's a lot of picks that are just straight up stronger than him right now. I hope he gets a move speed buff on his Q or something soon.

As for Balori's guide - yes I think it's a good guide, but he mainly plays top lane.

Yes, sorry, I'm using a translator, but it was to know if these builds would help me, for example, to reach a diamond that I am currently in platinum, I would even like to see if it has the potential to work in master as such and it was a doubt what did i have

Good!

Hi there!

This is a great guide! In the guide you make sure to convey important topics like shadowing, jungle tracking, and team fighting. Very well done!

This guide is good for new and experienced junglers alike.

Well done and good luck on the Rift!

Thank you! Good luck in your games.

Hi ! I tried some Runes and build on Volibear today and i think you really should keep an eye on.
I won 4 games in a row with scores like 10/5/10 on each games.
Runes : Precision tree = Conqueror + Triumph + Tenacity + Last stand
Resolve tree = Demolish + Unflinching
Spells = Ghost + Red smite
I maximize Q spell 1st for movespeed and cool down reduction, then w and e.
Items = Frozen Mallet + Black Cleaver + Death's Dance + Boots of swiftness
Explanations : With Legend: Tenacity + Unflinching, You have like 40% tenacity so you are really hard to hard cc and when you are with your Q spell, you can just run again just after. + the fact that I use Ghost, if i wanted to catch some people, it's barely impossible to stoping me. The bonus: I don't need to build Rightous glory or Dead man's plate.

Why I build Frozen Mallet 1st ? Well, 700 hp + 30 AD fit really good on Voli with a cost of 3100 gld (much better than 3733 Trinity) and the 40% slow is THE TOOL to not get kited (bye bye blue smite) and apply multiple W/ and giving a follow up to your team mates cause yes, you are running fast but your team mates can't follow you as much so, with the perma slow, you are a real threat for ennemies.

Why I build Black Cleaver + Death's Dance ? Health + CDR + % of Armor reduction + Movespeed + Damage + sustain + Armor/MR. These 2 items gives you all you need. Tankyness, damage, utility.

Why Boots of Switness ? We have enough tenacity so the only things that can stop us are slows. with ghost and these boots, these slows are not a problem anymore and we are really hard to kite then.

I think full tank Volibear is not viable since you don't have enough CC and damage to being relevant. Also, Volibear has great AD ratio on his spells. so i think we really need to build some damage and play like a bruiser.

Conclusion: with this build, you have Tankyness, Damages, Good 1v1 potential (red smite)can engage for your team with your speed + tenacity and you are really usefull with the Perma slow, and Armor shred.
And bonus : items like Frozen Mallet and boots of Swiftness are cheaper than Trinity/Mercury'thread.

I hope you'll try this and found it efficient as well.
A feedback plz, all the best =)

Hey, sorry for the slow reply to this. I’ve only tried Frozen Mallet rush one time, and I wasn’t a big fan of it. If you want to go a Conqueror dueling build, which is probably better for most solo queue games, I highly recommend Triforce, Cleaver, or Iceborn gauntlet if the other team has a lot of AD. These items all give you 20% CDR, which essentially makes you output more damage and tankier because you can get off more heals with your W. I also like to go nimbus cloak which gives you additional sticking ability with any of these items. The full tank righteous glory build is good in coordinated 5 man groups, or if one of your laners is getting hard fed early and you want to try to keep playing through their lane and setting up kills for them. Essentially get the team gold on a carry, and play frontline engage for them.

With that said, I do know that some of the top Volibear players in the world would rush Frozen Mallet on his old kit, so you might be on to something. If it’s working for you though, keep going with it! I’ll probably try it again at some point and report back.
