Will get Riven.
I've been checking out information on lol wiki for Ivern and I'm more confused as to how to build him. His base stats are abysmal, which is something I could sort of feel the more I messed around with him. He's roughly in line with Zilean and Nami, for reference. I don't see a sensible way for him to become an AP bruiser through itemization if his base stats are just going to hold him down. I think you might actually have to go for a support-ish glass cannon build on him.
I think the biggest problem he has right now are those absurd health and mana costs he has for using Friend of the Forest in the mid-game (levels 10-12 costs are particularly obnoxious). My gut feel is that once Riot does the logical thing and make those costs linear levels 1-18 then he'll become OP.

Damn that riven <3
Sad that there aren't ang merch shops in ny country. I have to import if I want it and that's not even considering how fast these sold out.
My general impression of Ivern at this point is that he has some serious usability issues that need to be corrected. He's made of glass to he point that I'd be concerned with the amount of minions the enemy has when I gank. That's how soft he is. Minions will fuck him up. Clearing a camp costs 20% of your health from levels 7-13. That's absolutely ridiculous. Any other viable jungler by that point isn't taking any damage what-so-ever. Daisy is completely retarded. She changes targets all the time and the delay on the 3-hit of her passive knock-up makes it way too easy for targets to escape. His shield, and this might be lag on the PBE, doesn't apply half the time. It's the only shield that I know of that has a snap mechanic to it and I'm pretty sure it's fucking things up.
I want to pick him up because a jungle-support is super interested, but there's lots of stuff holding him back, so I won't bother until this all gets corrected.

Is that how I win against you? :^)
one of many ways :^)
i think latest ep of legends rising has been my favorite
most of the series has always been about how much the teams have given up and hasn't really stopped to celebrate what they accomplished. on one of the first episodes you see rekkless say he doesn't care about being #1 in europe, it's world or nothing, and i've seen dyrus and other players say similar things
for me i find it really refreshing to see someone like revolta being openly proud of what he accomplished, and i think his story was one of the most interesting ones so far
legends rising is the shit
also rip star guardian syndra
you were the chosen one...

I actually do wonder if they're hinting at Dark/ Fallen Star line for the NEXT patch.
Cause if you read the story on the site it's clearly leading to something yet it's not complete.
It starts with the origins of SGs, then it goes into part of what they gotta do in the magical girl based setting (gotta fit in, do the whole double life thing cause NO ONE CAN KNOW WE'RE MAGICZ and work together). Then it talks about how some reject the commitment and responsibility and how it can have far reaching effects (this is were we currently are. Sets up Jinx as being rebellious and iffy on things but ultimately she's down for the cause it seems as seen in her VO). Then there's some last coming soon thing and there's gonna be a personality test.
I could see next PBE patch showing what happens when a SG does that. It can finish that whole lil chapter and set up for a team vs team story flavor conflict thing in game. Could see 3 dark/ fall SGs to start off (I don't think they would release 2 legendary skins back to back so the big lorey skin would have to wait).

Does Jinx still have that glitch where you can stealth her ult by using after a rocket AA?

I got to gold then plat playing support
If you're in bronze/low silver you might want a support-ish champion that can straight up build ap for damage because your adc is likely to be terrible (and you get to become the midlaner after laning phase if he's incompetence incarnate as well).
Once you start getting decent adcs and/or some semblance of teamwork in your games you can go with the full utility support champions and builds.

I climbed from bronze to gold playing Janna and Leona in season 3. It wasn't until I got to gold that I began to expand my champion pool and role selection.

Soon you'll be able to do Support Ivern with Smite.
Smite seems to be mandatory. Otherwise you spend a lot of time waiting around.

I really do think he's more support than JG.
I think people just haven't been going about it the right way on the streams I've seen. His bush skill is being slept on everywhere I Iook.
One of the few times I saw the bush used well was in the stream where the devs played. Enemy Diana was super fed, enemy Ivern put a bush behind the dragon pit that didn't look outta place at all. Dev Ivern and some team mates walk up towards it and get jumped on by a fed Diana. I remember the devs also saying that Smite Tp could work on him so that he could counter JG over and over again.
From what I heard if you place a bush between the bot lane bushes it links them up and bam, it's like it's all one bush and it acts that way for as long as the bush is there.
You can wall off an entrance to a lane and create Fog Of War where there normally wouldn't be any. This could be used to bait people into thinking it's a trap or just used to set a trap.
Seems like he's a champ that's gonna demand the use of wards out of fear of face checking random dark areas or out of place bushes.
But so far I have only seen people use it to ... extend his AA range or give Rango a bush to jump from :/
Dude seems like a massive mind fuck waiting to happen, wonder how he's gonna be received.

I just end up disappointing myself every time I read posts talking about Ivern. I won't be able to play him. T^T
I still haven't even played as reworked Yorick.

You also lose out on the extra EXP from the jungle items if you don't take Smite.
Yorick's theme plays while Maiden is out. Nice touch.

Is Riot done sending out the 10 year gifts? I got the Poro icon, but the Kayle skin is not in my purchase history like the Poro icon. I however have the Kayle skin, I just can't remember if I unlocked it myself a long time ago or if I got it as the gift. I know for sure that I never received notification of the skin gift.
For now just forge any 3 key fragments that you can into regular keys and use them to open chests. Once you get shards, you can either purchase them to become permanent with essences, use 3 of them to make a random permanent, or sell to earn essences to create other permanents.
