For the people that are QQ'ing he's OP, here's how you counter him:

BAER-BITE: he has to land 3 attacks before using it, but SMART bears will save it to "finish" you off, as it's damage is amplified against targets w/ lower health, and it's damage scales off of Health (at a number of how shen SHOULD be imo)

BAER-ULT: his claws glowing with lightning? those bolts leaping around all your minions / teammates? if 1v1, kite him during this. If teamfight, don't be so bunched up that it hits everyone, or squish his squishy team faster / with more CC. The fact that he's a "tank" and doesn't have a Amumu / Galio / Big-CC-Ult should be noted and taken advantage of.

BAER-HAEL: Ignite. Most people seem to pack it these days, wait until you see his passive proc, and hit him with it and finish him off. Also works very well against bears that pack heal (as they usually use it around this area to prevent themselves from getting bursted)

Despite having a huge HP pool, most bears i've seen strangely do NOT pack armor / MR runes / masteries. Yes, they have a lot of HP. Yes, a madred's / DFG / Kog / Vayne (%-dmg) will tear them a new one. Or just check which defense he has the least of, and apply liberal amounts of the according damage type. A lot of bears are capitalizing on the Fratmog's build - leaving very little for a long time in the way of MR.
