Ivern Ivern

Ivern is a wonderful champion. Able to be played as a pseudo support or a semi-bursty mage, coupled with a unique play style and wonderful voice lines, he is a load of fun to play. However, Ivern’s weaknesses are a.... a bit too visible. He is very easy to counter jungle, and if the enemy has an Eve or Kindred, you will probably lose the majority of your camps. Right now, Ivern relies too heavily on his team being good, while also hoping that the enemy team is bad, such that he can never find that happy medium. Here are a few changes I can propose to try and remedy this problem.

Friend of the Forest: New: Collecting a camp grants Ivern 20% movespeed for 1 second. (This allows him to clear his camp reliably without having to buy Moby boots) New: Marked camps attack nearby enemy champions. (This makes counter jungling him a bit more dangerous, as the raptors/ wolves can provide a bulky line of defense against unsuspecting enemies, while also not being too hard to take out on their own. This also helps Ivern to stop counter junglers, as he can battle around a marked camp to increase his dps). What do you guys think of these changes? Would they help Ivern to be more relevant in higher ELO play without breaking him in lower ranks?

here are my three main problems with ivern:

  1. His W is clunky as hell. I can´t tell how often I placed a brush and walked through it just to find out that I didn´t get my ranged AA and that instead of attacking ivern is now walking into the enemy or into a stun. ( maybe it has something to do with the refresh rate of that buff, similar to soraka´s E? )

  2. Goon´s autopilot fucks me over more than it´s helping. Sometimes I want goon to facecheck brushes or to follow one particular enemy but as soon as I stop clicking like a madman at the target goon decides to do whatever he wants. I would rather have him standing still and waiting for commands than running around in circles.

  3. It seems to me that ivern´s clear speed is incredibly low especially in the mid game. Your first and even second clears are fine but then comes a point where the enemy jgl doesn´t really lose much time or HP by clearing, while your camps still take ages.
