Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Volibear, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Hecarim wins 46.2% of 39 games (95% range 31.6–61.4%).
  • Both champions' overall Jungle win rates predict 45.0% for Hecarim; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Hecarim usually wins the lane: 579 gold ahead of Volibear at 15 minutes on average (38 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Hecarim players pick Transcendence far more often against Volibear: 8.3% of their other Jungle games, 17.9% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Hecarim and Volibear played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Hecarim's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

What Hecarim Changes Against Volibear

Choices Hecarim players make noticeably more or less often in this matchup than in their other Jungle games.

Best Hecarim Build vs Volibear

Usual Hecarim build (Jungle)

79.3% win rate · 29 games

Against Volibear

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 4 of 28 Hecarim games against Volibear carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Hecarim's standard build instead.

  • Hecarim usually completes Gustwalker Hatchling first, at 0.2 min (median of 33 games).
  • Volibear usually completes Gustwalker Hatchling first, at 0.1 min (median of 30 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > W > E — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
