Ivern, Friend of the Forest: A General Discussion
It's said you should never open with a complaint. Now, I'm not complaining- I just want to throw this out there. I made a champion concept called "Chlora, Nature's Herald". The concept I made was downvoted into oblivion (-90).

Chlora's kit introduced mechanics that are now seeming to appear for our new champion, Ivern.
Where's the credit, Rito?
Anyways- I love this champion concept. I want to discuss what his kit may be. From the video we can make a few guesses. A- Ivern appears to have a rooting ability B- He also appears to have a silence C- Ivern is seen creating brush, and perhaps making existing brush even thicker. (A mechanic I incorporated into Chlora)
So we're looking at a champion with good utility. If Ivern follows the mechanics of Chlora, then his brush and jungle will play a role in his other abilities. A- Using the brush ability on existing brush would give brush additional effects: increased health regen., armor, movement speed, etc. Something additional. It will also change the appearance of brush. B- Casting abilities from the cover of brush will have additional effects: longer range, more power, etc. Or Ivern may gain bonuses from being in brush. C- Ivern will thrive in the Jungle: his abilities may have lower cooldown, more mana regen., health regen., or an accumulative passive, etc.
Ivern will probably be best suited as a support. Which is awesome. I also see him being a friend to Maokai and Malphite, so you could play a match with all three and keep a secure team. Malph- Top, Mao- Jung, Ivern- Sup. I also like that the role of support is starting to see some attention.
I will definitely be getting this champ as soon as he's released.
