Stats
The subsequent tables clarify several vital Karthus versus Ivern counter stats that can help us grasp the differences and similarities between the pair. Karthus’s KDA ratio ([kills + assists] / deaths) of 2.2 is not as good as Ivern’s ratio of 3.1, demonstrating that Karthus may be less central to his team's team fighting effectiveness than Ivern. This observation is largely caused by the differences in kills, deaths, and assists.
Karthus often has a much larger longest killing spree than his counter does. On average, Karthus takes more damage than Ivern. This often reflects differing health capacities; however, it can also indicate that the champ with higher health has less agility and thus is unable to flee from further harm when engaged or poked.
Karthus often racks up much more CS than Ivern. Champions who on average do not amass very much CS usually do not require much CS to be effective. They are capable of scaling properly off their abilities alone. Yet, champions with plenty of CS, such as hyper-carries, typically have to have a lot of gold to be effective. In either case, try to do better than the values presented here to do well.
