      that's only possible with shurelya's principle sion (a specific sion build with shurelya's) even if you go shurelya's principle sion, if you can't manage distance you can't even play safe and teamfights are worse than normal tank sion you should just see it as cuzz playing well.

      you can never beat gragas and urgot you can't beat before navori timing either

      More
    2. Sorcerers_Garen23448You lose because you're trying to force a win against Gragas. If you bait him into engaging and fight, it's manageable. But if he saves his ult, it's hard to secure the kill. I don't agree he's the second hardest, but I do agree he's not an easy matchup. Take Grasp (Grasp of the Undying).

    Ornn, Akali, Sett, Cho'Gath, and Mordekaiser should be moved down to easy. Malphite and Renekton should be moved up to hard. Yorick should be moved up to ok. Darius should be moved up to hard.

    honestly it depends on what voli you're playing if you go damage you can never beat champs like jax if you go tank it's like average just survive lane and it's fine and the matchups all shift like that even darius if you go tank you can't beat him if you go damage it's a skill matchup and you can win

    The most recent Volibear in LCK was Kingen using a full tank build against K'Sante. That game ended up even in lane and he lost. Also, matchups against Fiora and Aatrox depend on who the pilot is; in terms of the champion's own performance, I think Volibear can't win. At least I'd put them in the "tough" tier. If you can't kill Aatrox before level 6, it's really grim, and Fiora is basically all about the Riposte mind game, so it's even but still tough. Urgot is not unbeatable if you flash his ult and stick to him with Ghost. It's just a range issue. Gangplank, assuming the barrel mind game is even, if you trade and then all-in with Ghost, I think it's hard for him to win. Not an easy matchup, but if you bait out his Orange and dive, he'll eventually have to burn Flash, and then if you ult, it's doable. Rumble, even if you try to ignore his harpoons with your ult, chasing is not easy, and if he has good heat management at Volibear's strong level 4, you'll lose the all-in, so I doubt it's "average." Renekton, I really don't get why he's listed as "average." If he does empowered W, Q, then E, E away, no matter what you do, you can't catch him on Volibear. Even with some tenacity, unless Renekton just lets you all-in, I don't think it's an easy matchup. I think Kled is listed as easy only because the pilot he met was bad. When you meet a proper player of that champ, "fuck" comes out naturally. Teemo is actually simple. Take Lethal Tempo, Ghost, and Cleanse, and you can win. The downside is that when ganks come, you just have to fight into them... Yorick being easy, I honestly don't get it. If you meet a proper player, you can't breathe and the inhibitor gets opened. If the tier list is based on the opponents you meet in solo queue rather than the champion's peak performance, then I can see that. But my first thought when I saw this was... "Don't rate again" (Don't feel like UFC-ing. Whether you refute it or not, I think I'm right.)

      늘하늘같은눈이내리는날Quinn can be moved down a tier, but Gragas doesn't seem like just a skill issue on my part.

      More
    3. 볼베-유저when he comes in with body slam, sneak in your W stop focusing on auto attack damage fight with ability damage building tank items or spirit visage or a tear item solves it a bit the principle of lethal tempo voli is like irelia, but since voli isn't a champ with great chase, against champs with a lot of cc you just gotta play off your W healing or E scaling and shield. using ult to eat body slam or his ult while diving in is a given gragas isn't easy but he's a champ specialized in locking you down, so you actually wanna avoid going for kill angles
