How are you supposed to beat Shyvana?

Diananmen Square··2 votes·2,175 views

I need some tips to counter that annoying dragon. I'm pretty sick of seeing her in 1/3 of my games , running devourer and seemingly having no weak point in the game.

She has good early, mid and late game. She can 1v1 pretty much anything and she is hard to kite because of W movespeed. She also 4 shots you with just Devourer - BoRK - Tank items.

How do you exactly beat her? I've tried loads of stuff but they seem to all fail.

you can't really fight shyvana one on one. she's essentially a raid boss. but there are a couple of champs that can take her down on their own. Vayne Trundle Veigar (if he gets lucky and it's really REALLY REALLY late game otherwise that item 3091 and item 3102 will be too much) and sometimes Jax

what you want to do against her is KEEP HER OFF THE ADC THE WHOLE TEAMFIGHT really just never leave the ADC's side or she will show up from behind and break them over her knee unless they're Tristana if you can't catch her out alone you may have to save fighting her until after her team is dead, but you need to keep her off your squishies, and you need coordination.

most important thing to do when trying to fight a particular champ is asking yourself: what is this champ trying to do to win, and how do i deal with that

she's going to kill the squishiest champs, and move up from there. if you can keep her off of your guys long enough, she dies, essentially. rengar e and veigar e are your best bets, as well as saving focus for when she comes for your adc

Thanks for the tips.

Waht can I do in the early game though, if she for example, invades me or I happen to run into her in the river while killing Mr.Scuttles? She just explodes me and I can't escape from there.

it depends on what jungler you are. if you're something like a lee sin, xin or elise you might be able to fight her. if you're sej just run lol. if she starts invading you ward up your jungle and hope your mid and top/bottom are doing well enough and pushed up far enough to collapse on her.

mostly you need to count on your team when the enemy jungler is stronger than you early on and is abusing that. if you see a shyvana, make sure to ask your laners to be prepared to come help you kill shyv

You have to pick an equally broken with Sated jungler. WW Yi and Xin work.

I am talking about Counterplay, not Counterpick.

I want to beat her using my favourite champions (Rengar and Veigar)

Probably not gana win with those 2 champs.. at least not in terms of countering.. Both excel at blowing up squishies, which shyvana isnt. Shyvana is susceptible to kite. Slows, Stuns etc.

Rengar used to be a pretty good counterpick to Shyvana before his nerfs... Now I am not sure

Rengar is better for other things.. killing tanks isnt 1 of them.

You have to snare or hard CC her. Then kite her to death.
