I really think Volibear needs a kit rework some time in the future. He doesn't have a clear identity in my opinion. Riot claims he's a juggernaut but his kit doesn't really reflect that, and despite the fact that he's typically built full-tank his kit doesn't reflect him being a tank either.

I think Riot should make him into an actual juggernaut, increasing his damage output at the cost of his tankiness. The first thing that would need to go is his ult. It's just a bad spell in general, not counting how it doesn't fit with the rest of his kit, nor is it a fitting spell for a juggernaut. His W would be fine except how does he benefit from an attack speed buff when he doesn't build damage items or deal that much damage with his basic attacks? Not to mention that the W active is only good on targets who are near death anyways. Riot should keep his Q and E. I think those are pretty solid, and I think both of them are fitting for a juggernaut. He may need a brand new passive. I don't think his current one is bad, but if he actually becomes a juggernaut it might be better to give him some sustain somewhere else in his kit.

One thing that I think would be interesting is if Volibear was somewhat similar to Ursa from Dota. Basically Volibear's emphasis would be on damaging single targets through basic attacks. Think Warwick but with less tankiness and more damage. An actual bruiser, instead of the pseudo-bruiser that he is now.

It just bums me out because in real life polar bears are one of the most badass animal species on the planet, but our resident polar bear really isn't impressive. You would expect a bear champ to be able to maul the shit out of people, but Voli doesn't fulfill that fantasy. Like yeah his Q is really strong, but what does he do to people after he flips them? Slap them a few times as they walk away? How can they just walk away from an armor-clad polar bear?

TLDR: Kit rework for Volibear. Deal more damage, be less tanky. Volibear should maul people like other bears do.
