Ivern: a great idea to improve the champion

Hello summoners,

All of you have noticed: Ivern is quite bad in jungle. The reason? Too easy to counter. Play Kha, invade, and he's dead. Play Lee, invade, and he's dead. Play any assassin, invade, and... he's dead.

But well, saying directly "this champion sucks", is too hard: Ivern is interesting in concept.

So, how to make him better?

This is my solution: Ivern is the ally of the jungle monster, right? Then, let's add this feature: if Ivern is being attacked in the jungle, and why not only if he's alone, the monsters will help him. So, at end it will not serve in any way, because monsters will be too squeeshy to deal with fed champions. But, at start, it will dissuade Ivern's front jungle to invade.

What do you think about it?

They will already help him if you get the enemy to aggro them.

The trick: While Lee is trying to invade me, I am already seducing his camps away from him.

Same strat I use vs counter junglers, just farm their jg.

I feel like this is a neat idea, but they might as well just buff him in general because that's not his only problem really. Plus, if the jg'ler invades after ivern already took the buff, there's nothing to help him. And I doubt gromp is going to do much dmg.

Still, it's a thought. I'm sure Riot will try to improve him eventually or leave him to sit on the bench like Urgot
