Statistical Matchup Analysis

Volibear dominates the meta (10th most popular, 5.7% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Naafiri (2.4% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of jungle's current powerhouses. Surprising upset: Despite Volibear's higher tier rating, Naafiri wins 55.5% of encounters. This suggests Naafiri's kit specifically counters Volibear's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Strong champion, tough matchup: Despite Volibear's impressive 52.3% overall win rate, this specific matchup against Naafiri presents unique challenges requiring focused practice. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Lethal Tempo + Triumph combination (51.3% win rate) plus optimal itemization Cosmic Drive, Navori Flickerblade, Dead Man's Plate, and Mercury's Treads boosts your chances from 44.5% to 61.1% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Volibear's superior farming (6.75 vs 5.96/min, 9th among Jungle) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.79 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Volibear outputs more damage (627 vs 590/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Naafiri: leads in both matchup win rate (55.5%) and KDA (2.90 vs 2.70, 7th vs 30th place). Volibear players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Naafiri as Volibear (Jungle)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Volibear deals mixed damage - the opponent has fewer options for defense. Naafiri deals mainly physical damage (91.37%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.9 versus 2.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Volibear Jungle versus Naafiri Jungle matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Volibear player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Naafiri player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach.
