One thing stands out the most is his survivability. Many times I thought he's going to die for sure, and he came out alive, while his opponent's kicking the bucket.

That passive is going to get nerfed eventually. I just have that feeling, simply because it can heal for a certain % correct? Well anyway, Tacoshuriken did say that people are playing horribly as him. So no worries at the moment.

I'd still worry, as with every new champion there's those freaks who can play them awesomely straight off the bat, puzzling how they can do that...

I'm just jealous because I suck with any new champion I try for the first 50 times, and even then I'm pretty average with them. (except a few, but they are the few I play alot)

HHHHOOOOLLLYYYY CCCRRRAAAAPPP, I hate the new jungle. Seriously, I can't seem to get to lvl 6 faster than around the 8 mins mark. BIG nerf to junglers who needs their ults to gank effectively.

the new jungle is more sustainable with the heal and early gold lose is fine, but... the exp needs to be raised imo. I mean now to hit 4 before my ganking as skarner I have to go:
Blue <-> Wolves (haven't decided which first is better) [2] -> wraiths -> golems [3] -> red -> wraiths or wolves [4], where as before I'd hit 4 at decent health right after red was killed

. Though Riot poster on forums said they would change/tweak jungle still if feedback from community thinks it's necessary.

New jungle is slow indeed...safer than before, but just slow.I had to run awareness and even with that, it takes an extra camp for 6.

-Sho- · 2011-11-30, 06:26

Well i don't need lv 6 to gank. Lv4 is enough for me.

But it seems that you get less xp + less gold + red nerf and then it's harder to gank.
But the jungle is easier + faster respawn...

Will try it.

Jungle fixes incoming

~~User190323~~ · 2011-11-30, 10:05

i was like this when i was reading the patch notes o_0

Tacoshuriken · 2011-11-30, 10:12

Oh god... So true...

-Sho- · 2011-11-30, 14:10

Yeah there's a fix but well.
Currently , i think it's better to play Roam or i wonder if 2 Top with a support isn't better...

Edit: Tried the new jungle , this is bullshit lol , + the red buff is kinda useless.

Tacoshuriken · 2011-12-03, 01:28

Ok, so I just played my first ranked game.
My head hurts from the stupid.

Kafriel · 2011-12-03, 02:38

^ Lol

You'll get used to it. Just make sure to call champions fast and establish a connection. Most people play in a team, because solo q usually includes a LOT of QQ and nervous breakdowns early in the game, which usually lead to utter defeat.
Finally got bored of dominion, I keep getting leavers...two leavers in one game, Nasus ragequit and we lose in 5:40. Epic waste of time

P.S: Bought Udyr! Liking Phoenix mode more than Tiger, but I have no idea as to how I'm meant to skill him.

Eisdrache · 2011-12-03, 04:12

If you jungle usually phoenix with AS runes is the way to go. Building the usual stuff like wriggle and then a combination of damage and tank. If you prefer laning tiger offers more burst and you can build warmog etc etc.

Whatever path you choose you max it first with skilling turtle second and a point into bear early (~lvl4). Usually Tiger>Turtle>Bear>Phoenix for laning or Phoenix>Turtle>Bear>Tiger for jungle.

Kotohono · 2011-12-03, 05:49

So just wondering I am the only thinking volibear is a bit OP with w nuking for "tons of damage" when he's so tanky?

Kafriel · 2011-12-03, 06:36

^ Have yet to see one, from what I gather he needs to engage for a long time in order to bring you down with W. Counter with DFG and high-speed burst sounds plausible.

I'm finding him a bit OP myself. Faced against a volibear about 7 times already and he can get kill streaks very quickly. He can chase you down and fling you back, he can deal a huge amount of damage for being in a fight for too long (well he is tanky of course). Nothing bad to say about the roar though.

So basically, he can activate his ult and clearly decimate an entire team's health with adding it along to Frenzy. While his passive can make him clearly invulnerable to 1v1.

Well the main issue I have with volibear is just the passive.

Not really he can hit attack a minion 3 times and be able to use the skill on the champ for 4 seconds(extended window by any further attacks), it also passive gives him 60% AS at max stacks.

The main problem is by mid game he break 1k damage with it easily even when you're at just 70% hp with warmog, Frozen Mallet, and HoG. It does single target damage comparable or higher than some ults, yet it's not an ult.
