Cool Idea: Give Ivern his own JG item

None of the current JG items benefit Ivern's ability to take camps. He has a low winrate because the first item that he has to build is not contributing to his clear. But this is an opportunity to add something really cool to his kit. The main stats he needs early on are movement speed and regen. Taking camps can actually get rather costly, making you back a lot, and you do a lot of running back and forth between timers as well. Also as a non-dueling jg, mobility and vision are highly important. Ivern My suggestion is to make a jg item that lets Ivern grow Tree's. These would function as a hybrid between ward, illaoi tentacle, amd skarner spire. They would grant vision and have a limited number of consumables. They would be visible, have 2hp, and sit unobtrusive along walls. They would grant Ivern a movement and regen boost while in the vicinity.

Waiting on camp timers? Start a conversation with a friendly tree, so you can get the hp/mana to gank or start another camp. Sneaking into their jungle? Plop down a tree to secure your escape route. Find yourself losing camps that you've spent hp on to a dangerous counter jungler? Fortify your jungle with some tree's to give yourself and your teammates some advance notice. Why is that Ivern so hard to pin down? He's got eyes and ears all over this forest.

Overall I think it's a fun way to enhance his patron of the forest persona, while solidify his niche role as a non-dueling jungle. It could be as simple as making stalker ward place tree's instead of wards. Don't item 3070 Maokai, you can use it too! But I also don't think that any of the jungle enchantments, like Immolate and Echo, are optimal on him. So a 5th enchantment option is not a bad idea either.

I'm all for any idea that gives lumberjack Sion a chance to shine. Special interaction: lumberjackSion does double damage to tree's!

Sounds good thematically but they wouldn't do it just for Ivern. And Ivern uses the mana regen on Talisman quite nicely.

I like this idea, but since I just started playing Ivern, I'm not able to give any inferences based on gameplay.

Generally, Ivern purchases Hunter's Talisman and sells it when he nears full build.

item 1039 -> item 3158 -> Defensive/Utility Items
