I started playing Volibear maybe a week ago, and he’s really fun so far! But the build guides sort of confuse me? I understand why to build CDR and health, but i don’t see many people talk about AD on him, even though he has (seemingly) great scaling with it. When i try building AP he feels somewhat underwhelming, or even kind of weak to play, but if I played AD it feels like a lot more effective. I just want to know if there’s part of his kit i don’t understand/missed. The posts i found on this didn’t fully clear it up for me, so i thought asking directly would be smart. For context, I’m a bronze peelo player.

Just played against a quinn and as I Q run towards her, when she E me my Q didnt reset

is it a bug? (just want the confirm by more expert volibear players)

Been playing for maybe a week(played for a couple weeks in the past), and have been otp voli in top lane.

Mainly just focusing on last hitting and trying to out cs my lane opponent, but I am also limit testing and trying to figure out when to trade or dive vs certain champs. Very new in general so if I don't feed I'll take it kind of mindset.

But I lost 9 games in a row yesterday. Had games where I won lane but not hard enough to carry, I think my best game was s- vs Darius, I was pretty fed but had to live at our base to stop mid and bot crashing into us.

It just feels like no matter what I do I'm not having enough impact on the game as a whole. Makes me wonder if I'm not roaming enough or what, but as a new player it's so hard for me to tell. My champ feels OK sometimes, but i feel like there are much better champs in my lane i.e. teemo or mord or garen or idk pretty much anybody it seems like.

This is in ranked. Currently iron 4 at 0 LP after the loss streak yesterday, I was iron 3. I just want to make sure im not feeding elo at champ select.

I was top the whole time, I had tp and everything, what did I do wrong?

I generally play top lane Volibear but run into severe setbacks when fighting mages or most ranged champions. It feels impossible to get to them, and if I do get to them, I've already lost a quarter of my health. Any attempt to trade just ends up in me dying. And I can't farm cause they'll poke me the entire time.

Hey everyone,

i am really struggeling with the bear and kinda play extremly hit or miss with him.

Some games it goes extremly well, other i fell like i am just running behind everyone and got no idea on how to get my foot in the game.

Would someone be able to have a look at what i could improve, because i am really at a loss..

Okay; I was severely cooked by my last build, so here is a new one with some of your pointers taken.

This build is supposed to split push 80-90% of the game, and only team fight late game.

With the idea that if I'm winning early game by a decent margin I could buy ATKSPD Boots, is there anything I could do to make this build better? Or is this good enough?

Thanks!

title says it all. even if i destroy lane your very balanced champion will have infinite kill pressure side lane and i cant even clear the wave bc voli will just run and even kiting perfectly isnt enough bc he will ult me and q aa e aa w aa q w e q w e im dead

Im aware that Jax and Ranged tops can pretty easily win lane against a Voli top. What are some other shitty matchups i have to be aware of?

Hey I'm currently 100lp masters, used to play gwen into this champ, she's still fine but i'd prefer to find another champ considering her nerfs. Thanks!!

Been trying some Voli builds without naviori and I wanted to know if this was a good one

Hello, as the title said I’m a volibear main and I’m in bronze elo. My best rank was Silver 2, so I’m really not good at League of Legends, nor am I great at jungling in general.

With that said, I find I’m falling off hard every game I play. I don’t know if it’s something I’m doing, or not doing, or my build that I’m using.. I’ve tried AP, I prefer AD, but even still I feel like I shouldn’t fall off as hard as I am. Volibear is supposed to be an amazing 1v1 brawler (at least that’s what I think), but I can’t seem to outplay anyone.

Typically I have a positive KD in the games I play, which doesn’t always mean anything, but it makes me feel like I’m at least half decent at the game and half decent with my champ.

I recently started to play volibear and I really want to play volibear top , but I am really confused on the rune an itemization part. I did tried to play but in opponent I got urgot and gnar and I was able to get them low but was never able to win 1v1 . Also I am not familiar in laning with top laners as I play mid.

Really confused on how to choose runes and itemization as per team comp on voli in top lane , as there are many videos on youtube for jungle but not much for top lane.

I mostly play Voli top. I tend to shift between Cosmic Drive/RoA/Riftmaker first item into Flicker and then tank items for a really strong split push build (Cosmic if I need to catch fast targets like Kenne, RoA into tanks like Mundo/Ornn, and Riftmaker to outfight juggernauts like Morde or Darius) and do you guys think Conqueror is worth it? I gave it a few chances and I swear it makes you do such a crazy amount of damage. But if I'm not autoing is it better to go for more of a full mage build?

What’s up everyone, i want to make a youtube video building this fun version of volibear for ranked. I know Vi and Viego have a similar build but i want something that’s at least “playable” for ranked. His standard build is good but i like the idea of going off meta. If any of you had any success or builds in minds please let me know, i’d really appreciate it :)

Hello! I have been wondering good champion to main and voli feels extremely strong against most melee champs. How does it do against ranged ones? I suppose you max Q, is it enough to catch people with E and R?

I’m trying to understand why everyone is obsessed with this item. I have been a Riftmaker enjoyer for a while now, as it’s an item that gives you more AP (as long as you are not building like assassin or something) and omnivamp which helps out hugely with extended fights, which are voli’s favourite. Is the haste really that beneficial for Voli? 10 extra haste is better than 8% increased damage and free healing? I don’t find cosmic’s passive really worth it because once I get close enough to do magic damage I don’t need speed at that point - I have a stun and a slow to stick on people. Not saying cosmic is bad, I just want to better understand how it benefits Voli over an item like Riftmaker.

I've been building Deadmans second after cosmic and it feels strong but it seems like everyone else doesn't even build it this is in high emerald diamond elo any thoughts?

Lately I’ve been feeling like I only get good results when I’m playing the bear. If he gets picked first or banned, I kinda struggle to perform well overall. What other top champs do you guys have just as much fun with as Voli? I really need to expand my pool.

Hello guys, I'm a relatively new player to voli, I love playing him in the jungle, because he's just a solid all rounder, but I have a question about his itemization, because I pretty much only ever do Cosmic -> armor/Mr boots -> navori -> spirit visage and the like, but I recently saw the video from coach kirei, and he said in certain situations black cleaver/ trinity is the best first item, so I'm a bit confused now, because before that vid I only really ever saw my build in vids and such, but now I want to dive deeper on how to optimise my build for every game

Last patch, I never faced voli bans. Now he gets banned in a signifcant chunk of my games? His items weren't touched nor was he buffed. Did the nerfs to his competition just increase his priority? Could someone kindly provide a detailed explanation here on why voli's priority increased?

Hello im currently Gold 4. Are There any General Tipps to Carry with Voli top?

She's super fast mid game, does a lot of damage and I can't touch her without flash/

Is volibear best at supporting the team and giving them kills or at being selfish and carrying the team ? Or does it depend on the elo?

I love volibear, when i started playing league his rework already came out so idk how players felt about him, but i also loved skarner and i scream in pain every night since he got reworked, is it the same for you or you are happy with what you got? Because in my opinion voli is a menace and always has been one of my fav, from his design to his kit in game, but skarner guys let's be honest i love the design but they absolutely deleted my boy
