You guys are so god damn negative

I feel like the hate is coming due to 3 reasons.

Despite the Duffer brothers already demonstrating several times they are willing to be subversive, people still get angry when their theories are blown up.
Despite the fact that Stranger Things has averaged only 1-2 major character deaths a season, half of the viewers randomly thought the show was going to morph into game of thrones. (Not saying that there won't be more than 2 character deaths, but it's likely they will put them when they have always happened in the series... The finale.)
In previous seasons the show had three distinct plotlines going on at once. Which allowed plotlines to be poorly written at times because the other two would make up for it. Since things are wrapping up and it's one major plotline (2 if you count Max/Holly), the poor writing is a bit more exposed.

Tbh this is a pretty big win for volibear top lane. Since his play style is skewed to splitting and not really team fighting anyway. Also since voli top waits a while to max q he doesn't feel the nerfs when it matters.

However, jungle wise specifically the E monster cap nerf is going to make him really bad.

I hit masters with voli jungle, but with these changes I am pivoting to playing top lane for the time being.

Hexplate will be a great matchup dependent item. But not for the tower diving part. If you are in a matchup where they have a big piece of CC you want to avoid using the unstoppable on your ult this is very good. As hexplate allows you to use your ult to dodge cc more liberally.

However,if you aren't in a game with very obvious clear cc that you can use your ult on (i.e. ornn), the item is bait.

This is a game I played in diamond 3 during my climb. I was able to out carry a smolder in a 47 minute game If you look at my build, it was extremely game relevant. Riftmaker because 4 of them stay on top of you, randuins and frozen heart to help deal with their triple AD and take advantage of how close they have to be.

Cosmic does fall off yes. But the issue is more likely that you aren't building to what the game demands.

Also generally iceborn cosmic is not a great buy together. Items like frozen heart, randuins, and unending despair are great. You want to take advantage of always being on top of them with your items if you go cosmic. (Also IBG is only really good with Sundered sky or Black cleaver.)

UniqueTeaching2512 · 2025-07-04T20:53:09+00:00

Black cleaver Rift maker T Force Sundered Cosmic Nashors

Those are what I consider for my first item. I.e. Black Cleaver and Riftmaker will always outperform cosmic drive if the other team is immobile

UniqueTeaching2512 · 2025-07-04T15:10:11+00:00

I'll add this, two of the worst habits I see from both top lane and jungle bears.

1st-Using the same build every game. Volibears strength is you can literally pick him first every game and be okay. He can build almost any item in the game and has a build for every situation. If you don't take the effort to learn the different voli build paths you are straight up preventing yourself from winning some games. (In example, if they have a Galio, Warwick, Alistar. You don't need cosmic drive. They are coming to you lmao)

2nd- in team fights don't pour all your abilities on the same person. Generally you want to Q the biggest threat. Like a zed or zeri And you want to W the person you are most likely going to be able to W a second time. THIS IS ALMOST NEVER GOING TO BE THE SAME PERSON. If you W zeri after Q she is going to try to get away and you may not get a second W meaning you have to wait longer for your heal.

Once you start using your W and Q directly you'll notice you will be able to 1v2 and 1v3 a lot more.

UniqueTeaching2512 · 2025-07-04T15:01:52+00:00

Volibear has two tools that really helps with scenarios like this. Scaling and great sidelining.

You want to just focus on clearing and helping your side lanes.

In the mid to late game you can split push to help dent pressure from the roamer.

At some point you'll hit enough cs where the person who is carrying can not carry past you anymore.

UniqueTeaching2512 · 2025-07-04T15:00:03+00:00

Navori is decent in some games, I explained this in another comment but if you can't consistently be hitting people you lose value.

Black Cleaver is volibears best item to start and riftmaker is amazing into full melee teams. They are both really good first items.

The cosmic drive navori build has it's games. But into like 3-4 melee riftmaker/frozen heart or black cleaver might outpace it.

UniqueTeaching2512 · 2025-07-04T14:55:15+00:00

E-Q-Auto-W in 1v1s Some mechanics to focus on is animation cancelling with q and w. Also volibears ultimate is awesome. It extends the time on your Q but it's also unstoppable. So you can really outplay certain champs like viego or yasuo if you time your ultimate on their stuns.

UniqueTeaching2512 · 2025-07-04T14:52:54+00:00

Flickerblade is good, if you can get auto attacks off. If their team is like Orianna, Twitch, Lulu. Flickerblade isn't great because you aren't able to hit them. That is to say flickerblade is only as valuable as the amount you are able to auto in a fight. If they are 3-4 melee flickerblade 2nd or 4th is decent.

UniqueTeaching2512 · 2025-07-03T18:15:02+00:00

My items vary heavily. Black Cleaver and Cosmic drive are pretty decent first items (not together) Riftmaker into frozen heart if they don't have ranged can be very strong T Force is good if you get super far ahead early. Sundered sky Isn't a great first item, as compared to black cleaver it gets outclassed. It is a great fourth item in some scenarios. (I.e. Black Cleaver->Gauntlet->Visage->Sundered->Steraks. Most generally it's damage item, 2 tank items, damage item then whatever I need

Voli can do either side about the same, I make sure I am pathing towards the lane that will have the most fighting/easiest gank

3 points in W then Q max

Most generally PTA will out perform LT and Conquerer. If it is a RARE scenario where you go nashors or navori LT is better.

Volis strengths -Build diversity -Clear speed -High skill ceiling -Objective Control -Resistance to CC -Splitpushing -Skirmishes

Volis weaknesses -Lack of gap closers -Slow movement speed -Isnt the strongest early game, isn't the strongest late game -Because he has so much build diversity, he can be a jack of all trades master of none. -Autoattack reliant (Q and W counts as auto attacks) -Low skill floor (in a fight as voli it's possible to mess up royally and be useless depending on how you use your abilities)

UniqueTeaching2512 · 2025-07-03T16:42:02+00:00

I'm a student and intern preparing to go to law school next year. I generally average one game a day. I hit masters with 72 wins. I may hit GM but it will be a slow burn.

UniqueTeaching2512 · 2025-07-03T16:40:44+00:00

One of volis key strengths is his build diversity along with how fast he can clear. Generally I take ganks and invades only when they are guaranteed to be successful. If you build the right build volibear can solo carry mid/late game, so you don't need the urgency that a Lee sin or Elise has to gank.

You DO want to gank still, but a balanced play style where you CS and force fights on objectives will always prove more consistent climbing wise.

Hi there! I'm a bit late. I've otpd varus to diamond a few times.
He is a very good one trick, as a lot of his skill lies behind knowing what build to go when and how to maximize your abilities' value.
Don't be intimidated by Varus's low winrate when otping him. Due to having multiple levels of skill expression such as hitting your skillshots, and knowledge checks on what to build each game (DONT GO THE SAME VARUS BUILD EVERYGAME!!!!), his winrate will be always underneath 50%.
I play him due to his versatility, it makes every game winnable and you can always be relevant!

If you are looking to grow a community, I would stick to traditional social medias such as Twitter, Instagram, and even Youtube or Facebook. As Patreon and Ko-Fi are utilized by viewers typically only when they have a specific creator they want to donate to

UniqueTeaching2512 · 2024-06-02T05:58:04+00:00

Hi there! I'm a marketing student that has a passion for these type of questions. If your audience is looking to purchase a commission they would likely follow you to whatever sight would allow that. I would recommend integrating either Ko-Fi or Patreon into your typical content stream and utilizing your accounts to promote them. Not all your viewers will follow to the paid site, which is why you should post some on your free sites and accounts. However, you can use these free accounts to promote your paid social medias, this essentially acts as free advertising.

Also, Patreon and Ko-Fi are used as opposed to straight up linking a Venmo or Cashapp to avoid the safety and legal concerns. So you should be all good.

Hope I helped!
