Denying the second W removes his strongest extended-trade swing. - Contest early river fights only with lane priority and health. Volibear wins messy skirmishes when opponents meet him one at a time. - Back away from towers before his ult turns a dive into a forced fight. Clear the wave early so he has less time to set it up. - Kite him after Q is used rather than standing for the second W. Force him to spend cooldowns crossing space. - Peel his first engage and reset backward. Volibear loses value when he cannot stay on one target long enough for repeated W casts. ## Where Volibear is weak Exploit these in draft and in lane. - Volibear depends on staying in melee long enough to repeat his bite, so disengage cuts off his sustain. - Volibear's engages are direct and telegraphed, making spread formations and slows punish his attempts to start fights. ## Volibear counters: questions ### Who counters Volibear in Top?
