^^ It's been 5 games now, I got another win and this one was a complete pubstomp against a lane with Ezreal. He does have his own escape mechanism, but without any direct targeted slows he simply couldn't farm more than a couple of minions before getting flinged or totally OOM.

So, 4-1 seems like a fairly positive ratio, though I must say I've been blessed with no leavers or feeders, and most importantly, no retarded AD carries in my teams. Anyway, I wouldn't risk it in a higher elo ranked game, but it definitely brings a new approach to the bot lane. The surprise effect is hilarious! People's reactions at the pick go something like this: 'Support Volibear? Troll pick, gg'. But at the end it goes 'Better nerf Support Volibear'. :D

But seriously, the role is simply deny the enemy carry of any farm with the sheer fear of having an armored bear charging at you with full speed. If you happen to get an early kill or two, the lane will snowball harder than anything I've ever experienced as a support. Volibear just establishes complete dominance sitting in the bushes just waiting for the best opportunity. The jungler will soon learn how to camp bot. It also has a much higher skill cap than healing/aura/shield supports, and it quickly becomes a challenge turning the enemy carry into bear meat.

Indeed, I will try to perfect my build, masteries and startegies. Who knows, I might turn this into the FotM. Or maybe not. Duh. Support Volibear, top of the food chain baby!
