lmao fuck you soraka.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Nightmare fuel on that recall though.

Edit: Cass nerfs? Boooo

 

[Stone Ocean]

here, have some Candy King Ivern

best and kind of terrifying recall

He kind of reminds me of the King of the Cosmos from Katamari lol

I love how weird and lanky he is. Fucking Alola forms

He looks really nice and weird.

 

[Reivaxe]

i would not list imaqtpie as a reliable source of midlane prowess in any situation.

Well you can focus on the mid qtpie part or the "D1 Sion Mid/ Nunu Jg" player part. Choice is yours I guess.

Ivern looks ... interesting!

 

[killatopak]

That recall on that skin is nsfw.

 

[clemenx]

His champion title in spanish needs to be Ivern el Viejo Verde.

 

[Reivaxe]

Wait, I'm confused. What does the brush do? I know it can interact with his W passive but I wanna know how they they intend for it to be used in practice/ lane/ combat.

i would not list diamond 1 players as reliable judges of midlane strength.

 

[Bacon]

Wow, Ivern's animations are stunning.

 

[Xeilyn]

The issue with Poppy's skills is one of clarity: her Q and W have to be pretty close to the base for in-game reads. It's a tradeoff we have to make sometimes.

Then they shouldnt have chosen poppy, feels pointless when you compare her vfx to the others. Unless they change the price to 975

Ivern looks way too goofy for my tastes but his kit is really cool

Guess we're at Burger King cause you can have it your way lol

Also
"Graves

Quickdraw (E) Armor and MR reduced to 5/8/11/14/17 from 10/15/20/25/30 "

GOOD, hope that goes through.

 

[Terbinator]

Holy shit those weaboo skins

Fog of war FOV denial, if you create brushes people need to facecheck things.

 

[Ken]

Hold on! Star Guardian Poppy is a 1350 skin? Atleast make her abilities blue or something, not just some stars around them, the others get new colors...

1350 is gross and I really don't think she should have been chosen for SG skin since her outfit looks closer to a holy paladin than sailor moon. With that in mind I think the gold effect color does kind of work.

And in the end I'll take a holy paladin Poppy over her current ones (I know battle regalia exists but meh).

 

[mcz117chief]

99 lp again ;(

 

[PhillipCostigan]

I love Ivern's VO

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Fog of war FOV denial, if you create brushes people need to facecheck things.

The strategic implications of such a skill will fundamentally change how you approach a game with Ivan in it, such as Yorick did last patch.

For example, creating bush to block line of sight for a dragon/baron, to block a wards line of sight, or in a teamfight to create bush within a fight.

Now, this is dependent on whether the bush will block LoS like a regular bush, or if it follows its own rule where an opposing champion has to be inside in order to see whats in the bush, whether or not he has teammates already inside the bush.

 

[clemenx]

Got Sanguine Garen in the mystery gift :c

 

[Stone Ocean]

I got the shark Aatrox skin, not bad, if only the champion wasn't shite.

I surely hope it works like a normal brush - wardable, no vision from outside, limited vision inside - because that could create some very interesting situations. Tricking people by limiting vision, straight up creating Fnatic brushes somewhere on the map, and so on.

This champ is pretty hype from an organized play standpoint.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Q: Ivern shoots out a ropey root that deals magic damage and (as you'd expect) roots the first enemy it hits. Allies who use a basic attack on the rooted target will automatically dash to get within attack range.

Sounds like a horror show waiting to happen.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Going by the video his brushes definitely create fog of war around them. Neato.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I love Ivern's VO

I love this champion.

 

[Nekofrog]

I've been playing for years and I can't ever remember a time where there has been a champion as useless as aatrox. Even a lot of the old pre rework ancient champions like WW and Sion and Gallio etc still served a purpose (as niche as they are) they still actually have situations where they CAN do well under specific circumstances.

Aatrox literally does nothing that can't be done by like 20 other champions better than him

 

[PSqueak]

I just knew he would have a non-lethal jungling mechanic.

deadnames weeps

 

[Neol]

This guy's animation is top notch. The walk has so much swag to it.

The only thing I'm afraid of is his synergy with Rengar.

Spoiler

Fuck rengar

At least they both are primarily junglers. That stuff can get nasty indeed.

Oh wait, Rengar will benefit from enemy Ivern as well.

 

[Orochinagis]

Soraka RIP. Sona E remains into useless.


Oh, the new champ is a jungler?

 

[Reivaxe]

Is he a Smite Support or a Support Jg? Seems like he can chill bot, roam a bit and bam ... 3 people on your team has a blue buff (one from your side and one on Ivern and one on an team member who roamed with him into the enemy JG post level 5)

Seems like wards are gonna be super important on both sides. Hell, couldn't he hold a tower from ADCs by hiding it behind a line of bushes, forcing them to over extend to hit it?

 

[Quonny]

im gonna play him top and there's nothing you can do about it

Supportive jungler. His abilities don't look that great for laning, and having smite instead of exhaust/ignite as support is really bad.

Aatrox still isn't as bad as old Eve. He at least has a role and a lane to call home, even though he's a troll pick you have an idea of what he's meant to be. Old Eve had literally no place in the game, she was nothing.

He's a jungler with utility, supports are never taking smite unless they want their ADC to get fucked.

 

[killatopak]

anything's possible. Graves wasn't meant to be in the jungle initially.

I am gonna use it support, looks like he can help the jungler to enter faster

I can pick GP and press Q off CD on your sustain-less face :^)

I can't even comprehend what kind of utility would a support with smite bring, chilling smite? It's called exhaust!

Is support + Smite something people really do?

I remember I won a ADC game with a Smite Lux Sup.

Also thought Smite Cass top and Cass-Twitch bot was a thing at some time.

Pretty rare most likely a troll, even nidale and teemo supports pick that as the ultimate troll tool but they have decency

 

[Envelope]

rito plz

kog is clearly a void pupper, not a doggo

No. There was a troll Blitz idea at one point but it never caught on for obvious reasons.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Ivern is a jungler. Why would you waste his passive?

 

[Kalentan]

Guys... I'm in my series to gold.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Here's the full reveal! (finally)

 

[Envelope]

aaaah the new jinx lines

Really love do love this champion.

Edit: "love do love" lel

the old ap jungle item and blitzcrank was a normal sight to see.

It was gone after the runic echoes replaced it.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Ivern stream in 10 minutes with his designer Blake (aka Squad5).

It's his first champion. Really nice guy.

 

[Neol]

Here's the full reveal! (finally)

After level five, the Green Father creates copies of the red and blue buff whenever he frees the Red Brambleback or Blue Sentinel—they'll leave behind a sapling which can be picked up by allies.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
