Rengar
Just avoid picking ivern to this at all costs he only benefits from your bushes, and will slaughter you in 1v1s regardless of daisy usually. Honestly unless you play insanely smart with your bushes you are only making his life easier. If you have a rengar top go Ivern it is hilarious.
Ability notes
If you choose not to gank than start raptors, but do not smite them than go red right away and smite it. I would recommend heading your blue side asap and always warding it because you are very suspecitble to invades and you receive less benefits from krugs than other junglers.
I do not recommend taking Ivern in low elo solo/duo because teammates will not take advantage of what you provide, unless you have a solo laner you trust. As your teammates get better, or work with you more the better the champions potential can be reached.
P.S. if you have a caitlyn you can make her feel so much stronger with your bushes I recommend trying it.
-
Pros: Great peel
Great early game pressure
Great team synergy potential
Fun to play

Amazing objective taking potential
Very rewarding when played well
-
Cons: Very team reliant
Easily counter jungled
terrible 1v1 fights or 2v2 fights pre-6 unless a god at kiting
very difficult to play both mechanically and decision making wise
As the game progresses to the late game your jungle farming becomes next to non-existant since you will likely be constantly busy and don't have time for your time consuming clear this is where relic shield shines it still provides you a steady gold income, and has provided you a steady income since your first back. Since Ivern has a very unstable form of gold income this is essential to getting him money for being relevant.
In teamfights become hyper aware of daisy try to focus her on the best target to either peel for carries, body block in fights, abuse enemy carries, or cc as many enemies as possible with her three hit knockup. Using her to her max potential is the most vital part to being an effective Ivern. It can be hard to know when or who you should shield, but keep in mind you are a tanky spell caster support, while daisy is your frontliner so stay a little out of the fray unless its detrimental to your team but close enough to make use of your sunfire or be ready to react to abilities in the teamfight, remember you are tanky, but not as tanky as a true tank. Many times in a teamfight you can both peel and create picks an example is casting E on your adc to peel a jax off of him, while casting your root on the enemies apc to create opportunities for your team to kill the apc.
Make sure to ask your allies if they know how to use your q it can make the difference between a successful gank or not if they don't understand how to use your kit.
Your E can be used on your Ultimate to tank towers without minions to make pushes available without a minion wave which is one of Ivern's strongest unique skills he brings to a team. Also tanking rift herald/baron/dragon is a useful purpose for this ultimate.
