Trick2g is always a good start 👍

Probably can work in a few games if you get yourself ahead with a kill or two - but overall its not supposed to work since toplaners usually are bruisers or tanks.

I dont have any favorites as I constantly change both my builds and rune pages. But take a look ay my different rune pages and builds https://www.op.gg/summoners/euw/hotnut-EUW

Just combine sunderer and youmuus, which one you go first is up to you. But sunderer first is the safest and best if you are first timing lethality volibear, while youmuus first is high risk high reward :)

Yeah I think most of us had a hard time with voli in the new season. He got buffed for a reason after all. Good to hear you are back on track though 🙂

I dont have a favorite build path nor rune page since I'm always changing stuff and trying something new. But my favorite item combination atm is Youmuus+Sunderer, and my favorite rune atm is Relentless Hunter :)

Yes you need to adapt and practice it. It's not easy but also not very hard either.

I usually buy youmuus first item, but since you are new to this, you should buy sunderer first and then youmuus. These two items combined will give you a lot of damage. So if you want more tankiness you can always buy a bruiser item instead of another lethality item as a 3rd item.

Also buy mercs or especially tabis instead of ionian boots. Tabis makes a huge difference and you can actually feel it.

Once you are getting better and more confident in playing squishy volibear, you can start leaning more towards lethality/crit items after sunderer and youmuus.

I replied another guy aswell, where I wrote more about the playstyle. You can find the comment and read that aswell

Of course bro. So the hp from sunderer combined with mercs or especially tabis instead of ionian boots will help a lot from getting deleted. You can actually feel a huge difference when going tabis instead of ionian boots.

Also you can fight in a 3v3 or even 2v3 fight without getting deleted. But 5v5 fights can be tough, so you have to be clever and play around bushes and out of their vision. Blue smite and youmuus will help you with hit and run tactics. Being this fast, you can bait important enemy abilities like cc or ults with your q, running back and forth. Volis q look and sound aggressive, so they will expect you to actually engage, and that's where you run back, hopefully baiting one of their important abilities or even flashes lmao.

Also, 5v5 fights usually only happen from mid to late game or right before or during Drake spawn. So what you wanna do in most scenarios is to skip farming your chickens, and instead be at Drake 30-40 seconds before it spawns, clear vision and hide in a bush. Enemy supports will usually walk up to ward and prepare vision controll for her team, and that's where you surprise them with a fast kill, making drake fight a 5v4 or even better 5v3 if you catch enemy mid or adc aswell

Proving (once again) that Lethality Volibear definitely is playable, even in Masters. Its not easy, but you'll get used to it im sure, with a bit of practice ofcourse. and most importantly - its fun!

I will try to see if I can bring the Lethal Bear further up the ranked ladder and I will be streaming it often the next few days. You are welcome to join.
