Ivern's performance in ranked games is fierce. Based on the last week, Ivern's win rate was 51.8%, placing him in the upper ranks. His pick rate was a moderate 4%, which is a significant increase compared to the past pick rate of less than 0.5%, reflecting the recent interest in Ivern among users.

Ivern's win rate tended to be particularly high in the upper tiers of ranked. This suggests that there is a difference in whether both the user and allies can understand and use Ivern's unique champion operation well. Users who play Ivern often had to explain the champion's abilities to their allies.

The improvement in Ivern's ranked performance, including win rate and pick rate, is due to the 13.11 patch. In the 13.11 patch, Ivern's unique feature of buff sharing was changed to a basic function, and several other functional and skill performance enhancements were made.

The dash functionality of Rootbinder (Q) was improved, and the cooldown was halved when used on monsters. Brushmaker (W), a unique ability that could be a poison depending on how it was used, was changed to make it difficult for enemies to utilize, and even added additional damage to allies. Daisy! also had many functions enhanced, including damage, attack range, and self-healing ability.

In addition, the mid-season item changes were also favorable to Ivern. Despite being a jungle position, Ivern is a champion with excellent support abilities to support allies. Ivern was able to gain strength by using the newly added mythic item Echoes of Helia, as well as support items such as Imperial Mandate and Ardent Censer, which generally had their prices lowered.

Let's take a look at the builds that Ivern is frequently using in ranked games. Generally, Ivern prefers Summon Aery, which can provide additional damage and support for allies at the same time. In the lower and secondary runes, runes focused on growth or support are mainly selected, such as Manaflow Band, Transcendence, Waterwalking, Biscuit Delivery, and Cosmic Insight. In addition, runes such as Dark Harvest and Glacial Augment are also used, and although the pick rate is low, they show a high win rate.

In the case of items, Ivern is a champion who actively utilizes the new mythic item, Echoes of Helia. Echoes of Helia, which can frequently utilize shields and provide additional damage, goes well with Ivern. In addition, the usage rate of the recently buffed Moonstone Renewer is also increasing.

Ivern was originally a champion with a unique skill system and a low pick rate, making it difficult even for allies to properly coordinate with Ivern. In addition to being nicknamed a non-mainstream or new champion, users who played Ivern also shared introductory texts or Google Sheets explaining Ivern to teammates they met in ranked games.

However, in the last patch, the problem of unfamiliarity seems to be somewhat resolved by converting Ivern's unique buff system to a basic system and improving skills that were difficult to use. Ivern's ranked performance is soaring, is it a flash in the pan? Or is it the emergence of a new tier champion?
