This Morgana has 1814 health, which means this shield is somewhere between 600 - 800 health. With blue buff, this Ivern is sitting at 40% cdr, meaning he can cast this thing roughly every 4-5 seconds. That's not even to mention the shield lasts 2 whole seconds, meaning if you can't break it, he'll cast it again.

Everyone wants to throw attention at Riven, but Ivern's shield is on a whole different level. This damn thing has 80% TOTAL AP scaling and he gets to build items that make this damn shield even larger. At max rank his base shield is BIGGER than Riven's and it slows you.

He most likely isn't a highly picked champion, which would be why no one is complaining, but holy mother of turd is his shield the most annoying and busted thing to deal with.

Are you actually complaining about a champion that is as dangerous as a cannon minion?

His shield is fine. That's about everything he has.

600 hp shield on late game is not alot. 80% ap scaling is not alot and you don't build full ap on him

The only great thing this dude has is just the shield, and that's literally it. He isn't a DPS champion, nor someone that can build full tank. He has a skillshot that gets blocked by minions & a bush ability that's mostly useless to be utilized. Take away his shield strength, and he becomes one of the most useless champion in League.

You know its 30 minutes in to the game and he has almost 4 items with good KDA right?

Wait, are you actually whining about a sub 1% pick rate support jungler? One with an ultra shitty pre-6 who has to build lots of squishy AP items if he wants to scale into late game? Literally any early game invade jingler can absolutely destroy Ivern.

I will say, that shield is about 650 roughly. He has a Pretty big 80% ap scaling on it. Along side his mastery/Runes(which Buffs his Shield, And The items that also bump up the shield power. Thats a pretty fair amount.

He also is pretty weak in early games, and can be easily abused in that stage. However you had a Kayle jung who has an even worse early game(stronger late). So he had a free time Farming and getting items.

However. His Power budget is soley sunk in that ability. And the rest are pretty lack luster. He has no damage, and cannot secure most objectives when contesting. His CC is pretty Poor, Slow, and predictable. His Pseudo Invisibility lost most of its power with the removal of hiding objectives. His enhance autos don't really do anything aside from just being ranged. I don't think Ivern needs nerfs in anyway. In a game where Damage is running wild, I think a champion that gives good shields is a good power to have in this meta. Its not fixing the damage, but it does work against it.

I would say IF damage is heavily nerfed from items and champions. The shields and heals are busted beyond. But with the amount of damage output there is. I cannot say the nerf to his shield is needed.

As for riven. That is such a strange comparison to make. Ivern is a support Jung while riven is a diver Top. ivern is just supposed to help carry the carry. And Riven is a carry who can easily 1 shot 3 from full HP because she hopped or flashed a wall.

The frustration of riven comes from the Constant win/Pick rates she gets at higher levels Leaving her untouched for about 2 seasons? and IF there is a nerf there is a compensation buff to follow. Who can Build CDR While getting Huge damage, Life steal, Incredibly Mobile to catch and escape. Being a big Lane Bully(But not so much that it over blows even the overpowered But enough to reign over seasons.) With great sustain with the fact that she has no Resources. Riven isn't broken. But She is incredibly frustrating, strong and picked often.

Ivern Robs you of a Kill Riven robs you of a game.

My dude if you're coming to the forums to complain about Ivern then I'm not sure League is the game for you. Ivern does basically zero damage. He is literally nothing but utility, and utility really isn't even that amazing.
