Ivern vs Viego Counter Pick

With 575 games behind it on patch 16.13.1, this reading is firmer than most jungle pairings offer, and it lands at 48.5% for Ivern — computed as even, and still tilted against him.

• Resources: Viego spends nothing at all, while roots, brush and shields all draw on Ivern’s mana, so repeated pressure costs one side more than the other.
• Sovereign’s Domination lets Viego possess any champion who falls near him and heal for it, which turns a lost fight into a continuing one.
• Blade of the Ruined King deals bonus current-health damage on hit and strikes twice against enemies recently hit by an ability, so 2,313 health at level 18 provides no real cushion.
• Movement reads 345 against 330, and Harrowed Path adds camouflage and further move speed along haunted terrain.

Ivern’s angle is the 475 range advantage over Viego’s 200, plus the fact that Spectral Maw must be charged before it dashes and stuns, which gives a visible tell worth respecting. Triggerseed is best spent on whoever Heartbreaker is likely to execute, since padding a health bar above the threshold denies the reset entirely. Both champions open on 630 health, so the early difference sits in armor — 27 against 34 — and in the 106.9 Ivern reaches at level 18 against Viego’s 112.2. A difficulty rating of 5 against 7 favours Viego on ease of use as well.
