I have to admit, for the last couple years I was getting worried. Dota has always had an edge over Riot over champion design, but with Ivern Riot outdid themselves. He is such an amazing champion. This time last year, Riot had a hard on for the three auto-attack shit that was unoriginal and led to the same old boring champions.

Ivern is funny, charming, and without a doubt insipired by the treants in LoTR. His kit is so unique and fun to play and im not bothered by the fact that I'll get dumpstered in half my games because his fun factor is amazing. His friend of the forest mechanic is so refreshing and creates such a unique playstyle.

I just wanted to sya thanks RIto, I thought I lost you but you came back.

Bard and AurelionSol were pretty interesting as well imo, they out of the ballpark different like Ivern but they still had new and interesting elements that changed the game

Sadly the jungle changes gutted Ivern. Kruggs give Ivern half the gold/EXP that other junglers get from it. Now that you have to start at a buff and can't start at Gromp/Wolves, you can't insta-steal the enemy's first buff if they were dumb and didn't ward, which was where a lot of his power budget was at. Then with the assassin update and Ivern's inability to instantly get camps, everybody will be roaming through your jungle and murdering you because you are a much lower level. Or they won't see you there and will just steal your free camps, which is even more encouraged to do with the addition of Poacher's Knife.

I love Ivern but I have a feeling his winrate is about to plummet. Hard.

I cannot get tilted on Ivern. It's impossible. That's how charming and fun he is.
