Level 1-2 favours Volibear: his passive gives him empowered-auto burst and his W heals him in trades, so he wins the early exchanges before your Q pattern exists. His Q at level 2 slows-then-stuns if he runs at you, giving him a clean all-in you can't answer yet. Keep spacing, farm safely, and save your E charges to dodge his engage rather than to chase.
