Everything for Ivern Top on patch 16.11, pulled from real Emerald+ ranked games — the build path, rune pages, the counters worth banning, the strongest teammates, and Ivern's win conditions.
Ivern is an enchanter in the top, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a situational pick — a 47.7% win rate, 0.1% pick rate, 1,065 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Ivern is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.
How Ivern wins: grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Ivern tips the fight, and peeling and disengaging to grind out the extended fight. The kit grades 8/10 teamfighting, 8/10 disengage. Play around where Ivern is thin, waveclear and mobility (3/10, 2/10), and the enemy loses their angle.
The most-played core build is Malignance, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment, which holds a 59.6% win rate across 47 games this patch. Item order and defensive swaps update against whichever enemy comp you select.
