How to Use Volibear Counter Data
This page covers the main Volibear counters in League of Legends for the TOP role, drawn from ranked matchup data rather than guesswork. Right now Kindred, Aatrox, and Teemo are the lane opponents that give Volibear the most trouble, and those matchups produce its lowest win rates in the current data. Kindred is the hardest of the three: Volibear wins only 39.2% of 102 recorded games against it. Volibear does better against Locke, Nunu & Willump, and Udyr, so those are the safer matchups to pick into.
Every card displays Volibear’s win rate along with the number of games it is based on. A matchup with tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one with only a few hundred. Easy, Even, and Hard labels come from the win rates themselves: under 48% is marked Hard, and over 52% is marked Easy. They help with a quick read but are not a separate statistic. The figures come from Emerald-and-above ranked games in all regions on patch 16.13.1, and they update every 48 hours, so they shift as the meta does. For the strongest items and runes, see the current Volibear build, or visit the Volibear champion page for ability details and the full breakdown.
