Make sure your brushes are pinked to see this coming as you'll 100% need to leave turret to avoid being dove. Your safest best is to sidestep his e, wait for the shield to decay (if he stepped up to get it) then eq and walk away, if you keep poking him he will be forced to either back or all in post 6.īe aware when he starts shoving lane as he can easily dive you alone, as well as with his mid/jungler. Volibear is that champ that likes to all in brainlessly and will win it if played decently.īeing able to slow you + shield himself, and then stun you, dps you with onhit/magic damage passive+ heal+onhit with his w will make it a very hard lane to kite effectively, you have to stay mid range all lane phase with him.īe sure to cancel his Q all in with yours, but be aware his goes on a short cd so he can reengage the moment your q falls off/goes on cd. TLDR, dont int early, out sustain him till levels 5-9, and kill him on repeat if possible. Once you have 6 you can pretty much run him down after landing 1-2 short trades into him, try to make sure you try to time your all in when his e is down, because if its not then you just burned ult for nothing. Tabis into phage seems to be best for me into this lane, give up cs if you have to, so long as you dont die to him early game and grab exp you can try to do 2-3 rotations of q1+w q2 into him and force him to burn e to disengage, and farm safely by going in and out of bush, if youre under turret just last hit. The best way to play this lane is to not play aggro at all till you have health+armor. At level 2 they will take their e and try to all in, if you retialiate in any shape or form they will e into you and ignite you.

Unlike most AD ranged toplaners, purely rushing tabis will not insta-win you lane.ĭont even bother leashing your jungler, walk up to the first/second bush in lane to make sure he wont cheese you to 1/4 hp, once minions crash dont bother walking up to secure cs as he will insta aggro and try to wittle you down with PTA+passive.

Rush e a dance of fire and ice
