'This small change will greatly improve Ivern' players experience when entering a brush'. This can't be real right?

I play a lot of Ivern, and I'm looking forward to the change. Ivern does next to no damage outside of the brush, so the quicker his ranged attacks are activated the more relevance he'll have in a fight.

To be fair, I HATE AND DESPISE range change gimmicks. I think it adds hollow difficulty to a champion's skill cap.

I'm not sure you understand the change. Ivern's attacks turn into ranged attacks when entering a bush. The "buff" is just removing the slight delay you experience upon entering a bush.

I completely understand the change. I'm just saying I find the "I'm melee - now I'm not" mechanic as a gate to controlling windows of power is a gimmick. It sucked on pre-rework Kayle and it sucks on Ivern.

I mean, having "to be fair" and "I HATE AND DESPISE" in the same sentence is something controversial in my humble opinion. xD

I get the feeling though. I hate jinx and twitch range changes, I find those are way more of an example of "hollow difficulty". Can understand the thinking behind it though.

BTW Kayle is fked up imo. unbalanceable almost as much as the old one.
