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.

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to My Volibear Guide
About Me
My name is Enzo, but you might know me better by my online alias, Azzinoth
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.
Achievements
I managed to reach Master 200LP on EUW
(Went from Emerald 4 to Master in only one season)

PROS/CONS
+Insane early game
+Insane splitpush
+Great carry potential
+One of the highest build diversity in the game
+High dopamine
Volibear has such a unique design, you can build almost whatever you want on this champ, making it easy to find a way to play it that you'll find fun.
-Tend to fall behind in very late stages of the game
-Require some knowledge to dive and snowball properly
-Can easily feel overwelmed by build diversity.
-Pretty hard to play teamfight
Just like any juggernaut, voli can struggle against multiple range team comps.
GENERAL PLAYSTYLE
⚡ TOP LANE VOLIBEAR ⚡
How to Not Get Mauled While Mauling Others
How to Not Get Mauled While Mauling Others
Because apparently playing a lightning bear in the top lane is a thing now. Who knew?

Alright, listen up you absolute animals. You've decided to main the Thunder Lord himself, Volibear, in the top lane, and let me tell you - you're either a genius or you have questionable taste in champions. But hey, at least you're not playing Yuumi and afk'ing on your keyboard, so we're already off to a decent start. Volibear is basically what happens when a bear gets struck by lightning and decides to become a professional wrestler. He's tanky, he's angry, and he has absolutely zero chill. Perfect for those of you who think "subtlety" is just a fancy word for "weakness." |
🐻 The Thunder Bear Philosophy ⚡
Think of Volibear as that one friend who shows up to every party and immediately starts a mosh pit. He doesn't ask permission, he doesn't care if you're ready, and he definitely doesn't understand the concept of "personal space." Your job as a top lane Volibear player is to embody this energy 24/7.|
Aggression Level
| MAXIMUM - You're not here to make friends, you're here to make enemies regret queuing up. |
|
Positioning
| FRONTLINE - Always. If you're not in the enemy's face, you're doing it wrong. |
|
Lane Role
| DOMINATOR - You're the guy who makes enemy top laners question their life choices. |
⚡ Early Game: The "I'm Not Locked In Here With You" Phase ⚡
Your early game is all about establishing dominance in the top lane. You're not farming peacefully like some Nasus main who thinks stacking is a personality trait. No, you're here to make your opponent question their life choices.|
When you hit level 3, you become an absolute menace. Thundering Smash + Frenzied Maul + Sky Splitter = a combo that makes your enemy laner wish they had picked Teemo instead (and that's saying something, because Teemo is literally the worst). The key is to be aggressive without being stupid. There's a fine line between "calculated aggression" and "feeding your brains out." You want to be the former, not the latter. Pro Tip: Use your Thundering Smash to last hit minions while also poking your opponent. Efficiency is key when you're a bear on a mission. |
|
🌩️ Mid Game: The "I'm Everywhere" Phase 🌩️
By mid game, you should be using your top lane dominance to impact the rest of the map. You're not just a top laner anymore - you're a global threat.|
What You Should Be Doing
|
• Roaming mid to help your mid laner Teleporting to bot lane for team fights Securing rift herald with your team Pushing your lane and taking top tower Being a nuisance to the entire enemy team |
|
What You Should NOT Be Doing
|
• Sitting in top lane farming while your team gets destroyed Ignoring team fights because "you're a top laner" Letting your opponent free farm while you do nothing Being selfish - you're not Gangplank, you don't get to be greedy |
Your Ultimate is your ticket to becoming the most hated player on the enemy team. Use it to dive towers, secure kills, and generally make the enemy ADC question why they even play this game.
💪 Late Game: The "I'm Unstoppable" Phase ��
If you've played your cards right, late game Volibear is basically a raid boss that the enemy team has to deal with. You're tanky enough to survive their burst, you deal enough damage to threaten their carries, and you're mobile enough to chase down anyone who tries to escape.|
|
Your job in team fights is simple: find the most important enemy player and make their life miserable. Whether that's diving their ADC, peeling for your carries, or just being an unkillable nuisance, you need to be the center of attention. Remember: Volibear doesn't do "subtle." He does "loud, angry, and effective." If you're not making the enemy team focus you, you're not doing your job properly. Team Fight Priority: Dive the enemy ADC/Mid laner Peel for your carries if needed Be an unkillable nuisance Chase down anyone who tries to escape |
❌ Common Mistakes (Don't Be This Guy) ❌
|
MISTAKE
|
Playing Too Passive - You're a bear, not a Soraka. Stop hiding behind your team and start causing chaos. |
|
MISTAKE
|
Forgetting Your Ultimate - Stormbringer is one of the most powerful ultimates in the game. If you're not using it aggressively, you might as well be playing Garen. |
|
MISTAKE
| Poor Positioning - You're tanky, but you're not invincible. Don't dive into 5 enemies alone unless you're absolutely sure you can get out alive. |
|
MISTAKE
| Ignoring Objectives - Volibear is excellent at securing objectives. Use your tankiness and damage to help your team get dragons, barons, and towers. |
🐻 The Volibear Mindset ⚡
Playing Volibear isn't just about mechanics - it's about attitude. You need to embrace the chaos, the aggression, and the sheer audacity of being a lightning bear who thinks he can 1v5 the enemy team.Remember: Volibear doesn't ask for permission, he asks for forgiveness. And usually, he doesn't even do that. He just mauls you and moves on to the next target.
So go forth, my thunderous friends, and make the enemy team regret their life choices. Just remember to have fun while you're doing it - because if you're not having fun while playing a lightning bear, you're doing something wrong.
RUNES
⚡ RUNES ⚡
Your main keystone choices. Press the Attack for squishy targets and early dominance. Lethal Tempo for tanky enemies and extended fights. Phase Rush versus slow heavy champs. Grasp of the Undying for maximum sustain and scaling.

Press the Attack
|
|
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.
