Ivern Mid and Late Game
What Ivern does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Ivern brings crowd control (percentile 95): start the fight or follow up on a teammate's engage.
- Ivern out-wards most champions (percentile 76): keep owning vision around the next objective.
- Ivern wins 3.5 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.
Mistakes to avoid
- Ivern falls behind in CS (2/100): last-hit the waves you can, items still matter.
- Ivern is not a damage carry (11/100): don't take fights expecting Ivern to win them alone.
