Volibear rework went live in League of Legends Patch 10.11 as the Freljord champion is set to shake up the meta.

League of Legends Patch 10.11 wasn't heavy on balance changes outside of marksman champions, but reworks have a way of affecting future balance changes. Since his rework, Wukong has been a prominent pick in the jungle and top lane.

Volibear's rework features a visual update and refreshes to his abilities.

Here are descriptions of Volibear's new abilities:

League of Legends Volibear Rework Abilities

  • Passive: The Relentless Storm - Volibear's attacks and abilities grant attack speed, and eventually cause his basic attacks to deal bonus magic damage to nearby enemies
  • Q: Thundering Smash - Volibear gains speed towards enemies, stunning and damaging the first one he attacks
  • W: Frenzied Maul - Volibear damages an enemy, applying on-hit effects and marking them. Casting this spell again on the same target deals bonus damage and heals Volibear
  • E: Sky Splitter - Volibear summons a lightning bolt at a location, dealing damage and slowing enemies while granting Volibear a shield if he's inside the blast radius
  • R: Stormbringer - Volibear leaps to a target location, slowing and damaging enemies beneath him while gaining bonus health. Enemy towers near his landing location become temporarily disabled

Volibear looks to be a strong pick in the jungle once he goes live. Additionally, players might try playing him in all lanes until his settles into a designated role.
