Why do Iverns not upgrade their jungle item into a Trackers Knife???

DeusVult··1 votes·685 views

item 3711 costs 1000 gold, you can basically complete it on your first back, and then you have 2 wards every time you back with which to help cover your lanes or get deep vision on the enemy jungle. You don't have to add an enchantment, but having another source of wards is huge for a team, and frees up another spot for a sweeper/blue trinket.

I ask because i see pro players even forgoing trackers knife. Is getting to redemption 1-2 minutes earlier really that important on Ivern??

Because item 2045 gives you active Item CDR.

Yes getting support items on ivern earlier is why you play him. I rely on control wards and my yellow when i play him personally

You don't really need it. Ivern's W can act as mini-pseudo wards anyway.

His clear doesn't require a secondary upgrade because all he needs is a couple pots and sustain. Getting a trackers knife for vision is good but most people don't get it because other smites give in combat stats and as mentioned before he doesn't really need the upgrade, only time I see people buy Trackers is only in higher elo or champions like Lee Sin.

Also rushing cheap items like Redemption and Locket provide more utility.

This is because the jungler items are to help clear camps faster but camps are so easy for him to take with his passive which making that part of it pointless and machete doesnt really benefit ivern either, b/c hes basically a supp its more effiecnt to build redemption instead. Also good ivern players buy control wards when they back which makes up for that. Hope this clarifies a little

the value of redemption to the game is massive since it can turn team fihgts on its own, plus as long as he is getting the xp he doesn't really need anything else to have an effective clear
