His kit kinda counters the bear, matchup is playable if he's running grasp but if he goes lethal tempo you'll mostly just get stat-checked no matter what.
Matchup can be played at lower elos but i would still recommend this to be your main ban.
K'Sante
Very annoying champ, never dies, have an anti-cc on a very low CD, he can pull you out of your E and you're cooked. My advice is trying to bait is W before trying anything.
Poppy
She hard beats you early on but when you get celerity+cosmic drive you start to win hard. You gotta survive until then.
Aatrox
Jayce
Very hard to gap close and even then you can get stat-checked. This champ is just crazy op ATM. Still playable with lucidity if you play around flash timings.
Akali
A good akali will never let you put a combo on her. I recommand rushing maw or spirit early because her only weakness is when she can't one tap you (running out of energy). But if enemy comp is mostly AD besides her you'r a bit fucked.
Malphite
Good malphite players will make this matchup impossible to win. They can just Q whenever you run at them and you'll never catch him.
But fortunately malphite players are literal rocks so you'll find a way to capitalize on their mistakes.
Dr. Mundo
He hard outscales you because of the nature of his kit. Pretty hard to punish early on because of his passive. I'd recommend either ignoring him completely and trying to roam mid/jgl. And try to force every objective early on because after 25min you're cooked.
Darius
This matchup is really "skilled", you can both kill each other, but he tends to outscale you if you go for standard builds, i'd recommend going heartsteel 2nd to stack HP. It'll make his R way less threathning.
Ambessa
Very annoying to play against because she's really hard to catch. Once you get enough speed and cdr you'll mostly win trades tho.
Fiora
It's kinda bear favored. You have to practice and you'll have the feeling to either bait or anticipate her parry.
I'd recommend doing a build centered around damage since she does %hp true dmg anyways.
Gwen
Gwen is pretty tough to play against if you play the standard way, but the AD build (and especially the phase rush) is excellent against her.
You can bait her R and run out. Without her R you'll win easily
Gangplank
Skilled matchup basically. You have to play mind games to win this one.
Udyr
Pretty boring matchup, i tend to consider udyr as a melee heimerdinger. He'll only kill you if you try to run at him like a dumbass. But otherwise lane is pretty simple since you win most short trades.
Cassiopeia
Until you have celerity+cosmic you'll struggle a bit but then you can just dodge everything easily.
Gnar
Annoying matchup at first, i was struggling alot when starting but then i got the feel of it. You basically play lucidity, flash whenever he is mini-gnar. And then you play around flash CD to kill him. If you have no R/Flash you just gotta respect it.
Gragas
Skilled matchup, you can buffer both Q and W in his E if timed well.
You can never rly kill him but he can never rly kill you either so it's farm matchup mostly
Kled
Same logic as illaoi and gragas, if you dodge E you can run him down pretty easily. But if he hits you'll 100% loose the trade so buy MS early on.
Camille
This matchup is no big deal, you can just tank her combo whenever she engages, and then you play lethal + max Q = She's dead and homeless.
Garen
Garen is no big deal, you just have to bait his W before using your combo if possible, there's no rly way for him to bully you but try not to fall behind or you're cooked
Illaoi
This matchup is only hard if she hits E. And with all the MS we got this should never happen at some point.
Kayle
Kayle is only hard if you let her scale past 30min.
You can basically shove every wave and combo her under tower then run out and there's nothing she can do about it.
Repeat until you can dive and she'll be 0/5 by min 10.
Kennen
Pretty similar to the gnar matchup, but he's a bit weaker overall.
Irelia
She can never kill you, you just stat-check her for most of the game, just be patient with your combo or she'll just dash out of it.

I was a Rengar main since Season 6, initially focusing on AD/Jungle Rengar.
However, since this season, I've transitioned to playing Volibear in the top lane.

Your go-to keystone for most matchups. Perfect against squishy top laners like Teemo, Quinn, or Vayne. The three-hit combo synergizes perfectly with your Frenzied Maul, and the exposed damage helps your team follow up. Use this when you want consistent damage throughout the game.
⚡ Lethal Tempo
The choice for extended fights and tanky opponents. Excellent against Ornn or Sion. Once you get your attack speed steroid going, you become an unstoppable force. Your Frenzied Maul becomes even more terrifying, and you can shred through tanks like they're made of paper.
🌪️ Phase Rush
The solution to Volibear's biggest weakness: getting locked down. Perfect against slowing champions like Nasus, Olaf, or Gwen. The movement speed boost helps you stick to targets and escape when things go south. Underrated but incredibly effective in the right matchups.
🛡️ Grasp of the Undying
The tank option for scaling. Great when going for the tank build or when figthing short-trade champs like Riven or Renekton. Play safe early, become unkillable late.
