Hey there, my name is Marcus Phillida, im currently unranked and im a Volibear Onetrickpony (300k mastery, and growing), i just wanted to make my first build and look if people like my playstyle.

I am planning on playing ranked this season and i think i will reach Platinum without alot of problems.

Pros:

+Becomes really tanky while still dealing alot of DMG.
+One of the tanks that can almost solo carry if he is fed.
+Strong duelist.
+Really fun to play.
+A BEAR, MEN ITS A FREAKING BEAR!

Cons:

-No passive if ignited.
-Pretty easy to kite in teamfights. (not so in 1v1)
-Not the best lategame scaling.

Neutral:

He depends only on using your Brain and not on mechanics, which i personally really like.

Early game in lower elo is all about farming, literally. If you got 80 CS while your opponent has only 40, its like you got 2 kills.

In most matchups Volibear has to farm and play pretty passive, there are also some matchups/players you can play aggressive against, generally against the easy matchups.

In the jungle its all about map awareness, you have to look at your map while jungling and always look for a opportunity to gank (when someone is pushed in). I could tell you alot of things about where the enemy jungler will be or when a enemy will probably be able to 1v2, but this just needs patience and alot of experience.

Your E cant interrupt your own autoattack, use it in the very last moment before the jungle creep will hit you, so you avoid DMG as long as possible.

Volibears midgame is his strongest phase, a fed Volibear is a pain in the *** in the midgame.
I cant really say much here, because it is really depended on what your team is doing, but if you are ahead dont just stay mid and siege for 5 minutes.

Go to other lanes and take other turrets to take your lead even further. look for small skirmishes, Volibear is great in 2v2 and 1v1 in the midgame.

This is all i can say yet, i will try to add more here.

Volibears lategame is not as weak as some people believe it to be.

You are not supposed to run in the enemy backline and let your carries die like an idiot, unless maybe you and your entire team is far ahead.
Usually you would try to Peel for you carries, regardless how juicy this Twitch looks like.

At this time you will be already outscaled by most toplaners, so dont try to 1v1 them anymore, you will usually be able to "feel" if you can 1v1 someone or not if you played alot on Volibear.
Try to help your teammates, at this point you mostly HAVE to group or you will be taken down one by one and loose baron/game.

After you flip someone with your Q, there is a little time where you cant autoattack, use thise time to cast your R.

Your Q is a autoattack reset.

You can cancel the animation of your R if you Q immediately after.

You will keep the bonus MS from your Q even after you flipped someone.

You can throw enemys through very thin walls if you are really near to them.

You can fear every kind of non champion ingame besides Baron/Herold/Drake, this includes Shaco R, Mordekaiser R, Wukong W, Leblanc R, and and and...

I know it is a pretty small guide yet, but i will continue working on it, i think this will break down the basics though!
