Actually, guys, Volibear is basically just a nightmare version of Ursa. He'd be enormously overpowered in DotA, but is only above-average in League because they're very different games at this point.

Volibear would be nearly unkillable in DotA because he was made to survive in a game where melee characters have to have some ridiculous tools to be able to even survive in a game that's dominated by ranged carries/mages.

Volibear has everything Ursa's kit has, with an improved ultimate (imagine having Mjollnir chain lightning that procs on every attack for 12 seconds).

He also has some additional tools (an execution, a speed steroid/throw for chasing, and an emergency health recovery passive on a 2 minute cooldown).

This is one of the times where DotA heroes aren't > their LoL equivalents.

Also, yeah, a lot of people build him Atmogs+on-hit stuff and rape in team fights.
