Ivy is a standout character in Valve's hero-based shooter, Deadlock, portrayed as a sentient stone gargoyle with versatile support and combat abilities. Since the game's closed playtest gained traction in 2024, Ivy has inspired a wave of memes, primarily focused on her 'Air Drop' ultimate which allows her to pick up and fly allies over the battlefield. This mechanic has birthed a variety of 'carrying the team' jokes, both literal and figurative. The meme often features Ivy in her stoic stone form, contrasting her durable nature with the chaotic, high-speed gameplay of Deadlock, making her a symbol for dedicated support players everywhere.
