Volibear vs Sett Matchup Summary

The Volibear vs Sett matchup is a very close matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 136 recent matches analyzed, Volibear wins with a 50.7% win rate compared to Sett's 49.3%, giving Volibear a 1.5 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Volibear controls the early laning stage, but Sett outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Volibear needs to press advantages before Sett reaches their power spikes, while Sett should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Volibear leads by 0.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Volibear has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Sett's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Volibear dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 55.9% win rate — a 11.8 percentage point lead over Sett. This lopsided early game means Volibear can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Sett is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 54.4% win rate — 8.8 points above Volibear. Extended games heavily favor Sett, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Volibear must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Sett reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Sett survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
