Ivern is the Green Father of all of those who live in Runeterra and every champion in League of Legends.
A gentle soul with an even gentler demeanour makes Ivern great for those who prefer peace to war.
However, Ivern was not always as peaceful as he has forced to be.
His past as a fierce warrior leads him to his search for greater magic to make any enemy give in.
But what he found was worth more than any power he could wish for.
Ivern took the spirit of the God-Willow and began his journey to remind mankind of where they come from. The earth.
With the new and peaceful way of Ivern, let's take a look at how to play him with his abilities, runes, and playstyle in League of Legends.

Ivern Abilities
Passive - Friend of the Forest
Ivern cannot attack or be attacked by non-epic monsters. Ivern can create magical groves on jungle camps which grow over time. When the grove is fully grown, Ivern may free the monsters to receive gold and experience. After level 5 Ivern can share jungle buffs with allies.
Q - Rootcaller
Ivern conjures a vine, dealing damage and rooting enemy targets hit. Ivern's allies can dash to the rooted target.
W - Brushmaker
In the brush, Ivern's attacks deal bonus magic damage. Ivern can activate this ability to create a patch of brush.
E - Triggerseed
Ivern places a shield on an ally which explodes after a short duration slowing and damaging enemies.
R - Daisy!
Ivern summons his Sentinel friend Daisy to fight with him. Daisy will send out a shockwave if she attacks the same champion three times in a row.
League of Legends Runes for Ivern
Taking Summon Aery is perfect for Ivern as a jungler as he can not only put out more damage but also help to shield friends.
Ivern will most likely play as a supportive jungle rather than an assassin.
So, taking Nimbus Cloak and Waterwalking helps Ivern get those movement speed buffs to ensure he can gank easier and help out.
Future's Market also helps Ivern to ensure he can get items faster as he can be slow as a jungler.
Playstyle
Ivern is very strange to jump into for the first time.
With a kit that revolves around peace in a game about fighting, he doesn't quite fit in.
Some tips for this champion is to focus on your team. Either by ganking, giving buffs, or even red or blue. All are valuable.
Using Ivern's passive ability to counter jungle is also a brilliant way to put the enemy jungler behind.
Due to the fact that Ivern does not need a leash, it also helps his lane friends to get ahead.
