How to play it

✓

Dodge his E

eat the stun if you must, then use your own E to slip the follow-up.

✓

All-in after 6

After 6 you win the all-in if you hit everything: poke him down first, and on 2 items you win hard.

✓

Wait it out early

Almost every Volibear takes ignite with lethal damage at levels 2-3, so play safe until 6.

Never sit in a drawn-out trade while his W mark is active: that's when he heals through everything.
