Volibear Matchups Overview
Volibear General information
Volibear tips and tricks
Keep the minion wave closer to your side of the map in the early game. This will allow you to look for favourable trades pre-6.
Get as close to the enemy laner as possible before activating your Q so it doesn’t run out before you can CC them.
Look to gain an advantage in the early game to make the mid and late game easier.
