So what are y'alls opinion on Support Ivern?

I've used him as the role and managed S- within 2 out of the past 3 days. At the start people questioned and laughed... So uhhhh~ He's a beast Support... Give him a herald in a winning phase and you get a support carry. Ofc like any other support it would be best that the ADC focus more on cs rather than being bloodthirsty.

The Item sets are pretty much basic and runes well just give him some health and magic for late game and you can use it as your basis for his epic-ness. I might even go further than he has the potential to be a better "Annie". Early will be more about shielding your ADC ofc and setting ganks around with bushes. You could even zone by using Triggerseed on yourself and try to scare the other player of the big ass slow after... Depending on the enemy they could fight and not run back, but most I've been playing with tends to run back (except that annoying Sona -_-)

Daisy is a great engager with her CC (Daisy knock-up/Daisy+Triggerseed Slow) and you could have her attack the enemy turret instead and the enemy champ will go after her and voila! An opening! Thresh/Blitzcrank hooks would be wary of you after they get to know that when they get you, they get Daisy too. You support your allies with Triggerseed and hook/peel people with Rootcaller at the back while Daisy fights for you at the frontlines as she dashes to the Rootcall-ed enemy.

Be careful though as familiar people to Ivern would know to focus on you instead to make Daisy disappear, so backlines is best. As usual... I think prejudice on Ivern as being a joke without even knowing his potential is the true "noob" action.

I think Ivern is one of the best Support there is. You could take either Smite/Exhaust depending on if you want to mess with their jungle along with your jungler.

I played Ivern a ton after his release (M5 within a day or so) and I find him to be absolute garbage in the support role. His shield is good, and his Q is good for engage on ganks or disengage later, but other champs can do that better. Not to mention you're completely giving up a passive when you take him out of the jungle.

why would you play him when you can play other champs other than because you just want to?
