Riot you trying to add new champion interaction stuff way too quickly

Remember way back when, when new champs had one thing that was new to the game so it didn't get overwhelming?

Well now the next champ has three potentially broken new things. And since they are introduced all on the same champ, there's no real way of knowing which part is the problem, because it's coupled with the others.

On demand bushes

You may not think it but this can potentially be really bad. The sight loss from a bush (because you can't see the other side) is huge. So if Ivern places it next to someone, that person basically gets 2-3 seconds they cant be attacked because they aren't seen. Vision is at an all time low for the game, so expecting someone to save a ward for it is unrealistic.

Clearing buffs without clearing them

You recently just buffed the buffs (ha) making them incredibly useful. Being denied a buff hurts because they are both incredibly powerful. Having an extra one of these is no laughing matter. Introducing this along with several other new concepts is a bad idea.

Giving other people dashes

This is game breaking by itself. There's a reason Protobelt has an incredibly small dash, because adding mobility to champs that were balanced around not having it Illaoi Darius Annie Rumble for example is a nightmare waiting to happen. These champs instantly become busted when paired with these guys because their kit was not designed around having mobility. Their counterplay is to be kited, and to give someone else a dash is a bad idea.

I think that adding new things to the game is great, I just think that adding many things at once that are all incredibly powerful to begin with all together is a bad idea.

The bushes still reveal people inside/around them for 1 second if I remember correctly, to prevent said instant stealth. Also the bush itself doesn't appear instantly, to the extent of my memory.

The dash is... yes, somewhat problematic potentially.

I'm glad they thought of that in particular but the point still holds

No it isnt. I don't know where you got that idea.

After a short google search I conclude that you are right, the character name is Hibiki, as you can see is fairly easy to confuse both of them, specially since the hiragana can be pronounced as both ways Hebiki and Hibiki....but official name is official

I am seriously hoping that good ole rito removes the ally champion dash. I feel like his passive is gonna be heavily changed at some point too....

You are taking the dash thingy too much seriously. Darius and Mordekaiser can destroy you if they dash into you with his q, yeah. But they still need the ivern mate to do it. They wont magically return in meta as gods like 1 year ago JUST BECAUSE of 1 SPELL new in the game. Also, did some of you check how the skillshot works other than reading it? The skillshot is very, very, VERY slow and easy to dodge. You need to be committing a mistake on getting hit by that.

At least, what can be overpowered is that exactly ALL TEAM can dash, yes, that maybe it's too much. But it's nerf-able by letting less than 5 people jump. Like giving charges to the debuff the spell leaves on the hitted enemy champ, and making the single dashes to him waste 1 of the charges so when the spell is out of them, it gets removed from the enemy champ making other allies impossible to jump into him. THAT would be fair. Removing totally this thing will make Ivern useless, he is already a teamcomp focussed guy, u cant ruin it by just removing out an effect of the spell like nothing. :/

...................

Also, i wanted to make you notice a thing that no one seems to have understood till now. The Ivern dash thing works also on jungle camps, even if you cannot attack them as Ivern. They specifically made the q to get used on the jungle camps. You know what that means right? That if you catch the full enemy team in the jungle, he can easly hit a jungle camp and let everyone jump to it for free, making your engage strategy useless. :)

Oh crap, I didn't think about Annie with Ivern! Oh durn... whatever, at least it will introduce some variety in competitive.
