Ivern Changes (The Problems and Potential Fixes)
I'm fairly new to Ivern
but I fell love with him as a character and enjoyed his unique play style and I got mastery 7 on him in under a week. In this week I learned a lot about the champion, his pros and cons, and overall a lot. I don't think Ivern is super due for new changes (outside of a skin, hasn't had one since release.) He has a 48.65% win rate (according to OP.GG) but has a 0.61% pick rate which I believe is the lowest (or close to) pick rate for any champion. Ivern holds a niche in the jungle that not every jungle player wants to be a part of, so I can understand him not having crazy high play rates but I feel like very minor changes to his gameplay (range, confrontation in jungle etc) and then non in-game tips about him may help him succeed more often and in lower elo's.

FIX DAISY: I love daisy but the amount of bugs and problems she has is so annoying and I have gotten to a point where I make fun of how poorly she works every game. Daisy has bugs where she will just randomly punch the ground in a loop with nothing there, she can't attack inhibs for some unknown reason, she will just randomly start teleporting or not listen to commands, and she just feels clunky with a capitol C. (We still love her though) I also largely dislike how she will auto target champions and you have to keep commanding her to not attack them so she doesn't immediately tower dive them. Lastly, I dislike how the tower will auto-target daisy when she attacks it. If daisy is a minion why is she focused by tower over the other minions? It makes her die quicker and less useful when trying to take towers.

TIPS: Ivern's fun, but with his low pick rate combined with my sad ELO nobody really knows how he works. Being a living Wiki page for Ivern every game is just annoying and a waste of my time. I get people leashing me, people ignoring free buffs even after I ping them like 5 times, and getting flamed for teammates accidentally dashing when I root someone. If Ivern's mechanics could be easier explained in some way like maybe a tip in the loading screen or something that would aid in this problem. Ivern's utility somewhat banks on your team having the knowledge of how he works.
TLDR: Daisy is buggy, Ivern's usage needs to be explained better or easier, and Ivern needs some minor changes
