Today is yet another League of Legends patch day, and with it comes an issue impacting a champion that received an extensive amount of help from Riot Games this patch.
The League development team notified players via Twitter today that it is actively investigating a bug caused by Ivern’s W, which places a brush in a desired area that, as of this patch, provides a few new effects. According to the team, certain champions are becoming unable to cast their abilities while sitting in a brush made by Ivern and having their basic attacks empowered, effectively removing key elements from their kits.
Notably, Riot has not disabled Ivern from being played, meaning those who pick the champion may experience this bug in their gameplay. It is unclear which champions exactly are having their abilities disabled when sitting in this brush, but it does not appear to be impacting every champion.

Ivern’s “midscope update” went live today as part of Patch 13.11. Following weeks of testing and conversation between Riot and Ivern players, the changes are being treated as net buffs for the champion rather than an overhaul akin to Rell—whose midscope update is also now available. Players noted upon the changes’ release on the PBE that they seemed to unnecessarily affect areas of Ivern’s kit that didn’t need such tuning, ultimately leading to their delay.
As Riot is actively working on a solution to this bug that can completely turn the tides of games, it is likely that a fix will be implemented within the next few hours. If not, Ivern is likely to be disabled from the game until a solution is discovered.
Update June 2 9am CT: League content creator Vandiril posted a video yesterday displaying the Ivern bug in action and how it can impact several champions, including Xerath, Jinx, Twisted Fate, Nami, Vi, and Fiora.
