Shyvana (The Half-Dragon) - Champions - League of Legends

She currently has an absurd win rate. Just bc she isn't horribly obnoxious and you don't see people complaining about her doesn't mean she isn't too strong rn. She is simply too good to not be nerfed

I think you're missing the point. The reason people are frustrated with the Shyv nerfs is not because of her winrate, but the fact that she was pigeonholed into the Jungle position after being repeatedly nerfed from the Top Lane. Also, while Shyv is strong, it's not because of her kit, it's because she synergizes extremely well with Sated Devouer. The community in particular would rather see a nerf/rework to Devouer rather than nerfs to champions who abuse the item, then follow up nerfs on the item and then left to rot for a year (perfect example is Sejuani with her synergy with Cinderhulk)

Of course, but a complete rework of am item just isn't realistic right now. I dislike devourer so much, it has too much synergy with some champs, but it would take too much effort and time as of now to completely rework it. So then what option are you left with? Nerfing the champion. (*****note that I REALLY think this could be fixed by just getting rid of devourer or completely changing it)

EXACTLY. She needs to be nerfed further. She's still too strong.

No, that is what NOT needs to happen. You can keep nerfing her all you want, but when it comes down to it, her power comes from Sated Devouer. Once the item is nerfed.. She will be in a horrible, low winrate, low pick rate state for a year or two before riot decides to even look at her.

When she still destroys you before sated, that says a lot. Granted Devourer is still a really OP item given that it makes everyone who relies on it a permaban. For now they could tone her down until the item rework and then revert her changes when the item isn't so absurd.

Honestly she needs to be buffed to top lane again and sated needs to be nerfed. A dragon doesn't belong in the jg she needs to kill enemy champs not killing useless jg mobsShyvana

Well yea, but I don't see a devourer rework coming anytime soon. This is really the best they can do to stop shyvana from being borderline gamebreaking

Oh game breaking like WW was? LOL ok

But see that's different. Ww was gamebreaking because of his outdated and stupid kit combined with items that had WAY too much synergy with him. Warwick is a horribly designed champions and when someone like that is strong, it snowballs beyond belief.
