Nice guide! I personally don't think Hextech Revolver is very beneficial towards Volibear. Not sure how Hextech Gunblade would work on him either, but I'm pretty sure going for Bilgewater Cutlass first would give higher damage output and health sustain than Hextech Revolver.

P.S. Your mastery page is pretty glitchy, with 4/1 points in Scout and other over the limit points.

Thanks for the awesome feedback, you brought up a ton of good points!

1. Will of the ancients does make more sense than hextech and is more team orientated anyways which is great. And to be honest, I was always terrible and remembering to use hextechs active slow anyways = perfect. I will do some play testing with it and more than likely update the guide. What a lot of people don't realize is that spell vamp is huge on voli and provides a nice chunk of sustain in health on top of his ult. Good stuff :)

2. Rolling thunder does have a tendency to do that doesn't it? I never quite knew why It would misfire so often - Thanks a lot for pointing that out.

3. If you get any of those screenshots linked here - I would love to add it to the guide :) I actually love Voli mid(if your team will ever break meta! ) His Q,E,W combo just destroys the squishy ap mids.

**I'm like to incorporate nashors tooth in the build, but I just don't see a place for it in build 1 - What are your thoughts?

Thanks,
Nishtha

Indeed, I've been away for awhile. Sorry about that, It would seem that I owe everyone here an update once again.

Thanks So much for the screenshots as well, So glad to see you guys doing well with this build :)

I use this guide all of the time. Even in Dominion:

Lol, each time that I died, it was because 3 of them were trying to kill me.

Haha, I really liked this guide. It fits very closely to my play-style with Voli.
I tend to go tankier at times and I'd never get one AD item on him, as it doesn't seem that worthy without any scaling on it but attack speed.
Nashor's Tooth is usually my core item on Volibear and I like that you mentioned it on your guide, most people who don't understand how he works like to get Ionic Spark, Atma's Impaler and items like those.

Voli only needs CDR and ATS for damage, health to survive and nuke with his E and MR and Armor just to be more tanky.

Some item suggestions:

I actually had success in building him as an AP Bruiser, Zhonya's Hourglass let's his passive heal him and protects him from ignite for part of the duration.. Also helps him get 2 second to recover his cooldowns back while at it. Also has armor, you will need it, though I like Raduin's more.
Abyssal Mask is also great to get MR, AP and help your AP carry do more damage. If you're playing a more supportive role, Will of the Ancients is better than Hextech imo.
Force of Nature is great for initiation and bulkiness also.
Zeke's Herald also offers some good stats for a cheaper, early game item, like Aegis of the Legion and some supportive role too.
Lastly, Shurelya's Battlesong is very good on him also.

For the skills, I think that you should mention that his Q procs on the first basic attack, so it's always good to remember NEVER to use it close to a minion, because if he attacks you, you will fling him automatically because of the way auto-attacking works and that it resets the auto-attack timer... Lost the count of how many times that has angered me.

I guess that's all I can say. The guide is very complete and finally one that actually makes sense, Voted +1!

EDIT: Oh, yeah. I also want to try going mid as Volibear and see if it really works out. Never tried. xD
I hate the fact that there even is a Meta in this game, I was going AP voli and a singed was saying that we were losing because I was going AP (I was something like 9/3/X or something like that...), I was basically the carry and the tank of that game... Still, we won.
I have about 15 screens of games I carried with an build close to that on your guide, probably my best scores were 16/2/12 and 16/3/17.

I've been gone from league of legends for awhile ( playing d3, tera ) and I just started playing LOL again. I thought I would swing by my volibear guide again just for kicks and ( for the most part ) There has been a huge amount of positive feedback. It put a smile on my face reading some of the success stories and crazy k/d ratios, so thank you mobafire!

Now that i'm back, I'll once again be updating the guide a bit and would love to hear more from the mobafire community regarding their experience with the guide and Volibear in general. If there is something I missed or overlooked that you think everyone should know, Please let me know!
