Playing against Volibear

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

His Q stun can be stopped by CC (knockback, stun) during his charge — interrupt him before he reaches you.

2

Kite him: Volibear is fast with Q but has no real gap-close after.

3

His R disables towers temporarily: don't rely on the tower to save you when he dives.

4

Grievous Wounds reduces his W heal which is his sustain in extended trades.
