Man, where do you get these stats, every site only shows D+.

Idk why are Ivern buffs that hard to understand though. Darius buffs = dunked Marksman Ivern buffs = alive Marksman gets a Penta

Ivern is thus a supperior design as he alows adc mains to claim the MVP award by skillfully right-clicking. Can't you simpathize with people who have to stop sucking their tumb to rightclick?

I actually meant Darius, he usually hovers between 49% and 51%. Though no site goes over Diamond+, where it is supposed to be lower.

diamond+ KR is master/challenger everywhere else

and on leagueofgraph you can admire 47% win rate on darius in Diamond+ KR

Salson1 votes

That actually makes sence, his winrate seems to be inflated by regions like LAN where he's broken with 54% winrate.

Also explains why you have Kog so much.

ivern is fine. he's not meta, he's not op, he's just fine. You guys are getting really nitpicky. his gimmick is level 2 ganks when the enemy is level 1. past that he becomes a less mobile lulu. I find him fun to play. he's not op, and he's very squishy (especially now that tank meta is supposed to be swinging back)

NItpicky? No we are fucking sick of half the roster being in the dumpster+this cancer meta and riot buffs someone who doesn't need it because errr oh yeah he can abuse this cancer meta as well.

I remember when they nerfed the shit out of Karma because item 3174 could've been op on her and they nerfed Ivern in the same patch for the same reason. Karma is now at 45% win rate and didn't receive any buff while Ivern with 51% win rate got buffed. Also, Ryze is getting a rework before Karma. Those Ivern buffs were so pathetic they made me laugh.

It's worlds patch. Anything on the cusp of Viability is going to get a slight nudge in hopes that we get to see them in worlds.

Anything farther from the tree, would be much more difficult to buff into contention, without completely overshooting the mark.

Wasn't worlds patch the last patch? I honestly thought esports were over since I don't watch them and barely log in on Twitch.tv

That was the pre-Worlds patch

YEAH XD, ONLY HAD 51% WIN RATE MEANWHILE DARIUS WITH 47% WIN RATE CAN DIE

It's ok right? he's going to do all those words big plays with shields LUL and daisy LUL

his big plays were effective counter jungle and vision control just saying

I think people are confusing his brain dead clear vs Redemption/Locket being cheap and effective when he was released.

Ahristocats8 votes

No people are not confusing anything

Ivern was fine and didn't need buffs in any way, but hey tanks junglers are broken in Worlds so instead of nerfing tank junglers we will buff ivern and make him broken again

Hey man it's alright it's just for Worlds, balance changes will go back to Plat+ after it's done, rightt.

ZephyrDrake2 votes

yeah, ardent and athene's... if people were not already picking him there is zero reason to pick him now. You seem very salty about this for no reason other than being salty for no reason

Swarovsko1 votes

People are not picking Anivia either, that doesn't mean she deserves buffs.

Poske1 votes

Anivia only deserves nerfs

She has been consistently peeking

She is challenger/master tier midlaner without bad matchups if played well

Swarovsko1 votes

Anivia is hiddenly op. Also that champ is annoying as fuck

Just about every time they buffed lethality, static shiv and....tower nerfs.

Only marksman i know that is performing like a monster without abusing shiv+RFC is twitch :(

WinTheWarOnPants2 votes

You're just confused. Whatever riot does is right! It only looks like the game is a complete balance shit fest and they are seemingly doing dumber shit every new patch because we are not as wise as the riot balance team. We must simply have faith and know that it is all apart of the "divine plan".

darius probably has a bad winrate cause all in all, he sucks.

Just like teemo, just play something into him, rush something that's strong against him, then watch as they wine about how it's broken.

winrate sneaks over 60%

As much as i agree with the winrate of ivern being high, he is not oppressive to play against, maybe annoying but not downright cancer. Remember few patches back when darius was buffed and he was stomping and getting pentas. That is an issue and no champ should be allowed to do that. Tbh, even the pros said that at that time darius was actually balanced in high elo's but stomped only low elo's. The fact is that most of the player base is low elo and while i agree the game should be balanced on higher elo, i don't think any champ should be left soloing 1v5 even in bronze. There is a fine boundary here that cannot be crossed and some champs such as darius can easily cross it if they are buffed.

Wild Wes1 votes

In the lower elo I've had experience in, I feel like people will complain about Darius being strong rather than Ivern because he isn't actually flashy. Darius is flashy when he's swinging his axe at people and executing people, but from first glace Ivern can be underwhelming.
