Im a shyvana main but I have no backup to it since I usually ban Warwick . She is the second highest winrate jg and is the 4th most picked champion. I've actually been seeing her pop up more now but when that happens, I need a counter to stop then form using my own weapon against me. Anyways who are some champions that counter shyvana jg

Sejuani, Rengar/Kha'zix (if you snowball enough), Yi (if you snowball enough), any other tank jungler (if you gank enough).

Tbh Rengar is one of shyvana's easiest matchups and especially since he suffers from a similar issue being almost no ganks until 6 on top of shyvana's faster clear.

I mean, if you snowball as Rengar you can easily take her.

I'm not a jungle main, but in my experience, Tryndamere absolutely crushes Shyvana in all stages of the game because her lack of any form of CC outside of her ult active. Every Tryndamere I have ever seen since I started playing in season 3 has absolutely destroyed Shyvana in 1v1 situations. This also means that you have to force duels with her though because Tryndamere isn't all that usefull in team fights if Shyvana's team has CC. Tryndamere just does Shyvana's job better than she does early-mid game. Clearing fast and winning duels is what they are good at, but Tryn is stronger until late game when Shyvana gets tanky.

How about you try Trundle Trundle? When they both hit level six, her ultimate helps your ultimate. Ulting after Shyvana ults will help Trundle steal even more resistance.

Olaf Olaf is also good. I used him as a suggestion and as I read, he does out-sustain Shyvana in extended trades. However, it is always good to know how to play against a champion regardless of who you are using in the matchup. Here are some of the general tips that I found for countering Shyvana (note I use these tips and find them to be effective):

Avoid clustering when team fighting against a Shyvana, as Shyvana's abilities become AOE in her ultimate dragon form. Play more aggressively when you see that Shyvana's fury bar is low. This means that she is not able to use her ultimate anytime soon. Shyvana does not have any CC abilities, making her fairly easy to kite.

Champions that can slow Shyvana or speed up themselves and either kite or out damage her, while her Burnout is not active, are great picks against Shyvana. Examples of such champions are Kha'Zix, Aatrox, Kennen, Swain, Lulu, and Kayle.

Don't fight Shyvana while her mark is on you or she will deal massive extra magic damage equal to 2% or your max health per auto attack. While Shyvana is auto attack reliant and is likely to build attack damage items, Shyvana's Burnout deals magic damage, which scales off bonus attack damage and the on-hit effect of Flame Breath deals magic damage based off the target's maximum health - this gives Shyvana high mixed damage that is difficult to itemize against.

Overall, it is better to build magic resistance over health and armor to counteract her kit's magic damage, though attack speed slowing items such as Frozen Heart and Randuin's Omen may help to lower her damage output considerably.

Rammus is pretty strong against most basic attack based champs. I don’t think he can 1v1 her but in a team fight Rammus is the better option. Countering Shyvana isn’t all that hard especially if you deny her dragons. I usually drop a control ward on drag pretty consistently.
