Spirit Ivy was always pretty good at this team fight support. Gun Ivy was just more powerful than it early on, so no one really looked at it. Now with a lot of spirit resist items getting changed to bullet resist, and the new buffs (especially the range buff) people are actually seeing it for how strong it really is.
@BackwardsPancake

People have always slept on Ivy in general. She takes time to build up for anything other than support, but once she gets going I'm pretty sure there's no item setup that's outright bad on her. You can build for spirit (as shown), you can build for gun (Fire rate has innate synergy with toxic/tesla; Pure damage works too because it only feels like a joke until you hit critical mass and then suddenly it starts melting people), you can build for heal/survivability (innate synergy from watcher's covenant and stone form), and her innately good mobility means that she's good at getting off active items on priority targets too.

I thought that too. The passive 15% ability range is really good though and even binding it to your ult doesn't sound too bad for the extra nuke damage. But having it bound to Kudzu does mean it can consistently proc the big AoE slow every time and provide extra utility that way.

At lower level I would probably rather go echo shard than refresher, kudzu being a non ultimate ability, echo shard will be on a 21s CD instead of 212 from refresher. Sure echo shard is less useful in teamfights (can't stack kudzu, and can't refresh ultimate) but it means that Ivy will always have at least one kudzu charge available at all time so it will have a better uptime overall for skirmishes and farming. You know for sure that in matchmaking your team will pick a fight when you're out of kudzu and refresher is on CD

Yeah this looks really good. Might try something similar. I personally use Kelvin with a build centered around the ice bombs. Big AoE, frequent casts, improved damage and healing.

Mystic reverb is useless on kudzu and all non-burst abilities, it will only do an extra tick of dmg every 6 seconds, its like an extra 40 dmg every 6 seconds the dmg increase is negligeable at best, you are better off using the slot and souls on something else. On the other hand characters like lash benefit greatly from it since you do one big instance of damage instead of many small ones.

It will get hard countered by a wiser team and she quickly loses a lot of effectiveness. She's basically doing what Malzahar or Venomancer does. Squishy teams with zero sustain will get decimated, but anyone with any meat can completely ignore the dot and she rapidly becomes a minion.
