How come people still freak when they see you pick ivern

I don't get it, he's super good in the right hands but i even well after his release people dont seem to understand his strengths. He's my main up in plat for his ability to keep my dps alive and empower my frontline. ive lost one game as him today but every time the game starts up people immediately get snarky and start lemmenting it as a loss.
