So I have a theory for his kit. Hear me out because to me this sounds awesome as hell.

##Remember: This is all just curious speculation##

Passive: Nature's Affinity - Ivern has an affinity with all natural life and because of this, every once in awhile the creatures of the jungle will come to his aid.

When defeating a large jungle monster every 60/50/40 seconds that monster will be swayed to fight at Ivern's side. These jungle creeps will have their stats slightly buffed by Ivern's bonus stats gaining approximately 3/4/5% of Ivern's bonus stats.


Q - Nature's ally - This will use an ability tied specifically to Ivern's current jungle companion and will be themed around the monster itself.

Some examples: Gromp - Will enchant Ivern's attacks with the Gromp's poison, dealing 12/18/24/30/36 (+0.3AP) damage over 3 seconds, stacking 3 times max.

Raptor - He can send the raptor out on a set path and the Raptor will follow that path and destroy any enemy wards it sees and return to Ivern afterward.

Krug - The Krug will enable Ivern to do a sort of stomp that will stun all enemies in a small radius stunning them briefly.

W - Entangling roots - Ivern can set a trap on any wall that will be invisible to enemies that will trigger when passed. It will whip out some vines that snare and reveal while doing a small amount of damage.


I'm not sure about the rest of the kit but these are just ideas that this splash art gives me.

##Reminder: this is all just speculation! ##

What do you guys think? Am I on to something or am I just crazy? Would love to see what everyone else thinks the new Jungler will be capable of.

P.S. Please just ignore the numbers I put in. I'm no balance expert those are just an example not any real numbers!

He would still be clearing the jungle like a normal jungler but every now and then he would have a jungle monster join him. The root is just a way to catch counter junglers and is a different sort of trap concept than the rest that I've seen. If he was to be used as a support his passive and one of his abilities would be completely worthless. So no, he doesn't sound like a support at all.

Is English not your first language?

For one, his teaser VO pretty much says he doesn't like killing jungle creeps. Be pretty twisted of Riot to actually make him a jungle.

You'll notice I never used the word "kill" for the jungle clear I used the word "defeat" instead.

Also why include unique VOs centered around jungle creeps for a support?

Twist it however you want, still killin em dude. Because he's a protector of woodland creatures, if you haven't noticed from his teaser. I also never said he'd be a support. I said it's unlikely he'll be a jungler.

The most likely outcome, as crazy as it sounds, is that he is a jungler that doesn't kill the camps and defends them somehow.

plz dont jungle with him he is the friend of the forest he doesn't want to hurt his little friends if he jg thats just fking bad of riot he look like a gentle treant unlike maokai and want to save the creeps i feel like he could leave decoys who could serve as actual monsters so they could be the monsters instead [zombie-nunu-tears]
