After being reworked, Volibear was criticized by many as being weak whether in normal games or ranked matches. However, just a short time later, the numbers show the opposite as Volibear in the jungle holds the highest win rate in the 10.12 meta.
After this number was widely shared, the majority of the community agreed that Volibear is not weak at all; what this champion needs is time for the community to explore the gameplay and true strength of Volibear. Some even said that when it was first released, Volibear was indeed somewhat weak, but the “overbuff” from Riot Games has propelled this champion to the top of the meta.
As for gameplay, Volibear’s most effective combo is EQW + three auto attacks + R + auto attack + W. This combo ensures that Volibear deals maximum damage from both abilities and passive, while also controlling the enemy for as long as possible. The max skill order will be R>W>Q>E.
Although after the adjustments, the Predator rune has seen some improvements, the most favored item for Volibear players remains Triumph. The rune setup will fully invest in damage to make Volibear more effective in ganks.
