Now for a guide to a champ who has fallen well out of the rotation despite her great potential. She can play jungle, be an amazing lane controller, or wreck an unsuspecting enemy with an attack damage build.
Here I am focusing on the most productive and annoying way to play her; the lane controller. I have a custom mod set that I use for her with this role containing Enhanced Suit of Sorrows, +75 Health Ruby of lIfe, and Empowered Cosmic Staff.
Your goal in lane is not to deal damage, just use your skills to zone and trap enemies so your carry can farm, and stack their kills. You want to be as tanky as possible so you can constantly disrupt your enemy while staying alive through it all.
To start you grab Nil Cloak, and 2 of the health and 1 will vial. The first main item I buy is Ruby of Life. I rush it to T3 for the massive health and regen boost. Now is the time to worry about will so I grab Dreamstone T2. Next, I build what to counter what my lane is throwing at me. If there is a high PD damage potential, I will start building Mirror Master's and for AD I build Suit of Sorrows. Once I start getting solid in my defences, I will start Cosmic Staff. The damage over time and wounding will help erode your enemies.
After Cosmic Staff, I pick up the optional item I think will help me win the game. This will be a pure counter to what your enemy is throwing at you.
Remember to not spam your Q for farming it will waste your will, and it is best left to dealing damage once your passive is up. That boost can help take a fleeing enemy out.
I hoped you enjoyed this guide, and let's get Atomic Posion Ivy back where she belongs on the ban/pick list.
For Coast City: Atomic Ivy can disrupt enemies, and keep them off your carry in team fights. This is very important when taking relays, fighting for the Doomsday device and in all the team fights that pop up on Coast City (there are a lot). Her Ultimate can keep ranged enemies from dealing the damage to your vital allies they need to in order to take out your team in a fight.
