Having seen Ivern played for a Couple of Hours. He seems pretty terrible TBH

He seems pretty terrible. In both Solo Queue

P: Pretty good, counter jungle with the instant smite? (Idk if it instas Red, Blues, if it does that lvl 1 steals gonna be great) Q: OK this is actually a cool and great ability! W: Um, I mean the making of bushes seems pretty cool, though its kinda insanely obvious that your in there and it doesn't go off instantly sooo. Yea E: Seems like a great ability! Doesn't really fit with the rest of his kit... None of his kit really does. R: Complete and Utter Garbage ability, dies in like 3 hits, does no damage, knockup takes forever to go off, and it isn't instant cast like tibbers, it has to jump, land, then wind up an AA.

Overall I think Ivern's going to turn into something like Urgot. Except Iverns story and Thematic gameplay are great! But none of his kit goes really well together, its kind of a bunch of random abilitys that are cool. He's a support with a Ult thats suppose to peel but not really since it dies to quickly and doesn't CC often enough. He seems like he should be tanky given he does no damage, and has no decent CC or heals, his shield doesn't really make up for it. He also doesn't do ANY damage to be noticeable, come 10 mins into the game.

In the end, he has a cool theme, seems like a really cool champion with great Visuals... But his kit is lack luster and I'd say over all just bad. I don't think we'll ever see this in competitive, or ever be a decent pick in Solo Queue, because it just feels terrible.

Maybe its just cause I haven't actually played him, but from every single person that has so far saying he's pretty terrible (All Challenger High Elo players) and from having seen his gameplay and how he plays. I just don't think he's good (Or fun to play, but thats more personal then anything)
