Heavy panting.

He looks a bit too similar to Maokai in my opinion,though I guess he is actually more inspired by the mythological Leshy/lesovik(who are male spirits that protect the forest and are partially made of plants).

Huh... I wonder if he's able to make bushes based on what we just saw?

Synergy with Nidalee Rengar ?

i hope he is a jungler

heterosexual DIE9/14/2016, 6:13:21 PM8 votes

He looks so kind ! ^w^

I really think that he would be a utility Jungler, like, with pratically no damage, just good CC or good ways to hide/ run from the ennemies.

Well the tease happening only in the jungle clearly points at a new jungler.

We didn't see any new AP jungler since a while (ekko doesn't count, he was meant for midlane)

Kindred clearly proves they want to find new mechanics and tricks for Junglers... I call Support-Jungler with new mechanic, just like they managed to put a REAL adc (and not melee-ADC) in the jungle.

''Making bush'' is a skill that comes from Caitlyn original concept, glad they finally made it in game.

Last but not least, part of his left arm (our right) is human, I expect a druid that fused with nature unlike maokai who is a creation due to magic experiments.

He looks awesome! Cannot wait till next week to see what he does.

When I first heard his voice I expected him to be some kind of nature mage. An AP jungler who was somewhat tied to Ryze's new rework.

In appearance I thought he'd be something like this, http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110915000306/chroniclesofarn/images/c/c5/Mage-human-nature-01.jpg

Not like,

I think his W will be making a small bush, so basically a worse Akali W, but Allies can use it too

Agree with most on the support/jungler look of the champion. Think he would fit as a cc-machine and protector on the rift who would make a good top laner and jungler, occasionally a support. This is my predicted kit for Ivern judging by the brief preview...

Q- Slams the ground causing all enemy units in path to get knocked up and briefly slowed W- teleports to target and roots it in place E- sends a mini minion/sentry-like unit to a target location, exploding when enemy champions walk nearby and slowing them R- Ivern protects all friendly units around him by reducing their damage taken by a small percentage.

What do you guys think?

crippler389/15/2016, 8:02:42 AM1 votes

probably a jungler with a mechanic where he can gain buffs from clearing camps but doesn't actually kill them. Maybe?

COULD IT BE D: Maokai's CHILD? :D PLEASE DONT LEAVE HIM LONLY D: ANYTHING BUT THAT D:

I just thought about this a bit more. What if this new champ has the ability to lower the respawn timers of jungle camps (Minus drag/baron)? That would essentially be bringing life back to the monsters.. fitting his theme?
