Ivern in low elo

Is Ivern in low elo like silver just not viable? I keep running into players ignoring pings, refusing to work together, or just have no map awareness. All my past ranked games felt like I couldn't do anything as Ivern because it's a support champion where they're dependent on the team carrying. I manage to get quite a lot of ganks and even steal the enemies' camps, but people never come and help with herald or dragon when I ping for it. Then the team starts feeding and playing dumb and then where the enemy team grabs all the objectives.

It feels so frustrating playing Ivern where I can't do anything damage wise. I seen so many throws where players just rush in and die where I'm left alone defending nexus turrets. Stuff like that.

No simple answer. But in Silver he can work.

His winrate jumps up in Diamond, from like 48% to 53%. But 48% WR is considered high.

Yeah, he works well when the team knows how to play. But for some reason I keep having terrible teams. I get like an AFK top for the first 5 min. I get a twitch who rushes in alone from behind as 4 enemies push mid where our team is farming other lanes. The same twitch refuses to baron when we kill 4 enemies and goes bot to farm. I'm losing sanity over teammates. Usually with other champs I just don't care and carry the game with my damage. But Ivern just can't do that. He's a great champ but if your damage dealers and tanks are retarded, then you can't do anything.

But that is true with every champion. But yea Ivern is not going to be high impact if your team can't capitalize.
