Ivern on the way to Power changes in League of Legends

Ivern will get some Buffs, according to the latest PBE Update.

The buffs on the PBE increase the damage of his shield, Triggerseed, at all ranks, and its AP scaling is also being raised. The AP scaling is fantastic, because he’ll build AP support items like Athene’s Unholy Grail and Ardent Censer, and the damage from the shields will help his ganking power. There are some concerns, however. Ivern was massively overpowered for months, and it took four patches of nerfs to bring him down to Earth, and that ended up killing him too much. So, with any buff headed his way, the risk of putting him back over the top is always there.

Much of Ivern’s historic power revolved around his camp clear, which isn’t being rebuffed at all here, so he shouldn’t be OP following this buff—if it sticks. It probably won’t be enough to suddenly make Ivern a Meta pick, but it should help his case.

One of Ivern’s most purchased items, Knight’s Vow, is also seeing some changes. In fact, it’s Meta on most support style tanks. Knight’s Vow is very popular right now, mainly because it’s an extremely effective item for how cheap it is. That’s why it’s being nerfed. The cost is actually being dropped by 100 gold, but the health on the item is also being decreased from 350 to 250, meaning it’ll be way less tanky.

These Changes will be available with Upcoming Patch 7.18 in three weeks from now.
