Vi vs Ivern Counter Pick

This is barely a fight, which is exactly why Vi loses it. Friend of the Forest means Ivern cannot attack or be attacked by non-epic monsters and instead grows magical groves on camps that clear instantly once ripe. Across 248 games on patch 16.13.1 the Enforcer records 44.8%, and almost none of that gap comes from the two champions meeting.

• Tempo: free camps mean Ivern reaches objectives and allied laners earlier without spending health, while Vi pays from 655 starting health and a mana bar on every rotation.
• Reach: 475 units against 125, so Rootcaller lands from outside anything she can answer, and his allies can dash straight to the rooted target.
• Damage type: his magic output ignores the armor Vi scales to 109.9 by level 18, and the armor break on Denting Blows returns nothing against a champion who never wanted to trade attacks.
• Fights: Daisy! adds a commandable body, and Triggerseed shields an ally before exploding for a slow, blunting the short burst window Cease and Desist opens.
• Durability: 630 health and 27 armor at level 1 look soft, and 50 base attack damage against 63 confirms he never intended to duel, but he rarely has to stand inside the range of Vault Breaker at all.

A difficulty rating of 7 against her 4 is the single lever the losing side actually holds.
