Kindred vs Ivern

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kindred's superior early game pressure and ranged dueling to contest marks and river fights when lanes have priority.
Focus on scaling through marks and ranged objective control rather than direct early duels with Ivern's utility-heavy playstyle.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize pathing around expected mark spawns and lane priority to secure marks and deny Ivern's buff-sharing routes.
Contest Scuttle and dragon setups aggressively when lanes can collapse first, using ranged kiting to punish Ivern's low dueling power.
Track Ivern's position to counter-gank his early ganks, leveraging Kindred's mobility and damage to punish his lower solo threat.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Ivern's teammates can collapse, especially when lanes lack priority.
Beware of forced smite fights near dragon or Rift Herald without vision control, as Ivern's utility can swing team setups.
Be cautious when low on health during clears, as Ivern can capitalize on reduced escape options with his crowd control.

Early game

Start with a clear path that secures early marks to leverage Kindred's scaling and avoid wasting tempo contesting Ivern's unusual routes.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to safely contest river control.
Avoid forced early fights without lane priority, as Ivern can evade with pathing tricks and team support.

Power spikes

Kindred's early mark access and (E) execute power spike enable strong skirmishes; use these to force Ivern off camps or objectives.
Respect Ivern's (Q) root and (R) knockup windows during grouped fights to avoid getting locked down.
Kindred's (R) fight reset is key for extended objective control; use it to outlast Ivern's utility in fights.

Win conditions

Convert early mark tempo into objective control by using ranged DPS and (R) resets to win extended fights.
Use superior dueling and mobility to counter-jungle Ivern safely when lanes have priority, denying his scaling.
Leverage gank pressure and river control to snowball marks and scale into a late-game ranged carry that outperforms Ivern's utility.
