Ivern is already disappointing

FieryFang·Sep 20, 2016·1 votes·1,121 views

Tbh I was expecting this really big, almost Sion/Malphite-like champion who was super big and looks like a ballin tank or something especially with the way the teasers and even his voice made him out to be. Then they reveal his gameplay and he's this tiny like stick figure that looks like you could snap him. Teemo probably couldn't even turn him into a blowpipe. Honestly, what happened Riot? You showed us this deep-voiced, hulking tree figure that had to friggin turn his knees up at an 85 degree angle and was still taller than this bulking hunter in the woods. Why does he look like a tiny little twig??

Probably to not be maoki 2.0 His extreamly tall tho, which is something we dont have much in league (sheer length, not bulkiness like sion)

But Maokai doesn't look that large in all honesty. He's almost as big as garen or renekton. I was expecting something like chogath with 6 stacks. He doesn't have to be bulky like Mao, just much larger and not something i could break over my knee.

Such a big champion would be totally unreasonable.

I mean look at Aurelion,in the lore he is easily the size of a mountain,yet he isn't that big in the game.

I'm not saying he needs to be unreasonably large. But they could have added more to him. A little bit more bulk. Like broader shoulders, as if he was a treant. Something Lord of the Rings-y, stomping around the rift and protecting the forest animals and such. That's the feel I got from their teasers. What I'm trying to say is that his character model in game does not fit the artwork done of him. I thought it would have been a big, heavy footed tree man. NOT like Maokai.

Eh. Not every champion is gonna fit what you want to see. If I was going to complain about a champion who's visuals disappointed me or I found uninteresting I'd be making posts about disliking every new champion since...jeez I don't even know. I'm really picky with my champions.

I'm actually pretty glad that he looks so scrawny,because otherwise he'd look too similar to Maokai

FieryFangSep 21, 20161 votes

I don't think they would have looked similar. He doesn't have to be super bulky like Mao is. Just broader and with a heavier feel to him. Like if he could just be stomping around the rift, making splashes with each step into the river (not literally of course but you get what I mean). That's what it looked like it could have been. Not this pretzel stick lookin guy.

But Maokai is already broad with a heavy feel to him...

I think the only champ that might get something like what you've been asking for could be cho'gath once he gets a VGU.

I quite like him I feel like this is a second shot at Plant King, kinda like Nami was a second shot at Hydrosoul And that makes me very happy.

Because a massive tree champion already exists in the game? That would be unimaginative. If you want a huge tree tank champion, allow me to direct you to Maokai.

Like we need more nature Tanks in this game

Ivern's intended purpose is to to be the antithesis to all the cliche junglers and to standout from any other nature themed champs. If you missed that intention then its no one else problem but your own. Complaining about it isn't the right use of this Board's purpose either.

Personally I had an issue with the latest Star Wars movie. I created an expectation for myself that the movie would be brand new with only visual nostalgia. After seeing it I was extremely disappointing with the end result. This is because Force Awakens was basically A New Hope 2.0 and in this day an age of cookie cutter movies I started to add SW to a long list of needless reboots. But Star Wars- The Member Berries had it's intended direction and if I had a problem with that then I kept it to myself (until now) and got over it.
