Hey,
I would just like to say I like your guide but I have some mayor problems with it.
1. Why ignite? If anything, you want to tp botlane if there is an opening to try to snowball the lane or you can go for a heavy fight top and just tp afterwards. I see no game where ignite would be a good choise.
2. Why not change your aftershock to something with more damage (PTA?) Against something like darius or poppy? They are such easy lanes for me if you play it well. Staying on the same subject I would like to say that Fiora and Camille are one of the easiest matchups with your ability to stop their dashes so I do not understand why they would even be featured high on the risks list.
3. This one is just a personal one, but I hate sunfire and I think buying that first is why you lose matchups vs that of for instance darius. Why go tanky against tank shredders?
4. Your ranking isn't accurate at all...
Next to all this the guide is great but it really falls off high elo

I now notice thundergiraffe already said something about the item build vs darius.

Hi! I appreciate your comments and I will give you my own point of view.

I'm using ignite because this is a guide for those who want to climb from low elo. Anyone visiting this guide from a higher elo will just look for the most efficient set of runes available tested by the typical OTP of that champion. If you want to play Volibear "seriously" of course you will be using tp, otherwise you'll get f****d in every single rotation.

Volibear's TP gank potential is simply awesome, if you tell your support to ward the right place (the new spot included on the pre season patch is pretty interesting), you will kill anytime your TP is up.

About the aftershock, I think there is no way that other rune could work better than aftershock in any situation. You can proc it very easily and now that the cd has been reduced (although the utility has been nerfed), you can active it every time you get back the whole set of cooldowns. Against Darius it is simple, use it to avoid dying on the first levels and once you're 6 you can go all in on him to kill very easily. Camille is also a threat because it outtrades you easily with that damn shield, but maybe it is only me that idk how to play against it.

I build sunfire because Bami's is one of the craziest items for Voli, you usually can afford it at the same time you reach level 5 and your W has 3 skill points. It makes your W a nuke on your apponent if you trade correctly. More damage than building an offensive item like a Titanic Hydra.

Anyway, this is only my point of view, although you can disagree in some things, as long as it has helped you to improve your Volibear skill I'm happy!

See you on the summoner's rift!!

Hey man,
I dont know if you still visit this page, but I wanna leave here acknowledgement for this amazing guide.
I'm a main Volibear but was three years without playing the game, so I needed some guidance coming back.
Thank you

Wow dude, I appreciate your feedback so much!

Thank you really, I'll keep improving this guide :)

i know i made a lot of comments already, but i want to add just a few more things and get ur thoughts on it.

i will ocassionally run the tenacity rne if i want to get ninja tabi. sometimes ninja tabi can be very affective and maybe they dont have a lot of magic damage to begin with? so sometimes i feel like you can adapt, although i like your runes i feel like in certain situation you can adapt, for exemple sometime it might be a good idea to run final stand since you have the healing for it and it does more damage.

im not saying those runes are bad, just that sometimes players should consider adapting.

Hi dude! Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it. This is my personal way of playing Volibear but there are hundreds of possibilities.

About the Darius matchup I do usually prefer to hold until lvl 6 without Titanic Hydra or even ask for a gank because I want to get Bami and boots as soon as possible and go for the all in at lvl 6.

Why am I not playing Hydra? Well I do like to play a pure tank Volibear instead of the bruiser build you're suggesting which is, of course, also 100% functional and I think you'll keep climbing like you're doing.

About the runes is more like the same, you have to look for the runes you're more comfortable with. You could even go conqueror and build Wit's end!

I wish you the best in the Summoner's rift!

hey im a volibear main and i actually suggest going titanic hydra against darius first, if you have ignite(which you shoulf because darius heals) you are able to do enough damage. because with darius your on the clock, going for something deffensive just gives him more time to get stacks so i say, no armor(he penatrates aromr and gets true damage ult) just get hp and damage from titnaic and you have potential to stomp him. i'm currently plat 3 and climbing so this darius wasnt a complete idiot, but he didnt ward so i got an early kill on him from a gank, from there i was so ahead and had so much damage from hydra that even when nunu ganked me i just just turn on t he darius and fight them both. so i guess what im trying to say is if you adapt to darius, play D early hes not that bad. i dont think he deserves the 5 rating.

completely agree with garen and urgot though. i hate those two, another one id say to consider is nasus. yes you can beat nasus but he has such an attack speed slow that if hes smart he should be able to beat you if he knows how to play against voli, which almost no players do.

I have never lost against akali top with voli, don't understand how you lose to her :D

I have to recognise that my winrate against her is now beginning to increase. I think it was just because of the lack of knowledge about the champion itself after the rework more than the objective threatening.

Thanks for your comment!

so i wanna ask u.
Why Font of life over the other 2
and why no revitalize? that rune helps ur regeneration from the passive right?

Sorry for bad english

(1) |

I play font of life because it's the one I'll be activating more often and one of the most efficient ones when you get to like 4k HP

About revitalize... It's an amazing rune for this champion but Overgrowths will be also giving you 140 (aprox) additional HP.

The passive heals for the 30% of my maximum health so the healing is also increased by around 40HP with overgrowth.

I would use both but I can only choose one and I prefer to combo the extra health with my W than healing 80HP more.

I hope i explained it clearly, thanks for your interest!
