Pantheon vs Volibear Matchup Summary

The Pantheon vs Volibear matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 68 recent matches analyzed, Volibear wins with a 55.9% win rate compared to Pantheon's 44.1%, giving Volibear a 11.8 percentage point advantage. Volibear dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Pantheon players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Volibear leads by 602 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Volibear has a strong advantage in this matchup. Pantheon players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Volibear overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
