Use Rammus's high gank threat and mobility to pressure lanes before Volibear can leverage his strong early dueling and fast clears.
Avoid extended early jungle fights; focus on punishing Volibear's slower clear speed with cross-map ganks and counter-jungling opportunities.
Prioritize anti-AD scaling by targeting Volibear's AD-reliant teammates and denying his early objective control.
Jungle Plan
Path towards lanes with overextended AD carries to apply pressure using (Q) engage and (E) taunt for lockdown.
Avoid direct river fights early unless your lanes can assist, instead focus on cross-map ganks and counter-jungling to deny Volibear's tempo.
Prioritize securing dragon and Rift Herald when Volibear commits to side lanes or after successful ganks to capitalize on his early pressure windows.
Danger windows
Beware of Volibear's early level 3 full ability combo when he can stun and heal, avoid isolated fights during this spike.
Avoid contesting objectives or river control when (Q) stun and (R) tower disable are available, as he can force dangerous dives.
Be cautious after low-health clears or when forced into smite fights without lane priority, as Volibear's dueling power is high in these moments.
Early game
Start with a three or four-camp clear aimed at lanes that are pushed or overextended to maximize early gank impact.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority and can support to avoid risky 1v1s against Volibear's strong early dueling.
Ward defensively against Volibear's early invade attempts, especially when his lanes show signs of readiness to follow up.
Power spikes
At level 6, use Rammus's (R) knockup and taunt combo to punish Volibear before he can dive, forcing fights on your terms.
Exploit Volibear's weaker scaling by pressuring him early when your taunt and armor reduce his auto-attack damage.
Respect Volibear's first bruiser or tank item spike, as his durability and sustain increase, making extended fights riskier without proper setup.
Win conditions
Use Rammus's superior gank threat and mobility to snowball lanes before Volibear can establish early leads.
Deny Volibear free farm and objective control by invading his jungle when his lanes lack priority or after he commits to side pressure.
Convert successful ganks and counter-jungling into dragon and Rift Herald control, leveraging your scaling tank and taunt to enable teamfights and lockdown key AD targets.
