I just remembered shyvana exist

Shyvana What's going on with her? I just got done crying at skarner's position, and then saw shyvana is in an even worse position after getting her minirework.

Her passive is absolute shit. It literally requires you to force objectives in order to make use of it, which isn't healthy in her playstyle (forcing objectives to end game faster on a late game champion?) and basically kindred's her to get baited or rely on her team to help her. (except unlike kindred, there is less opportunities to make use of the passive when behind or losing.)

Her Q is so strong that you can't give her power anywhere else in her kit without her destroying every champion in the game. (two on hits+auto cancel is really strong with bloodrazor and other items.)

Her W is underwhelming, all it really does is boost some movement speed to chase (did you catch though?) and give some AoE so raptors don't eat her alive.

E is just a shitty version of skarner's E, except no slow and marks her targets so she does onhit %health damage (which makes her Q even more powerful)

R is her only mobility which isn't that great since she pushes targets with her, meaning you could just push people closer to their towers or help instead of gap closing and going from in front of them to behind them. Its an overall damage buff with some AoE and tankiness but its not useful early game making her have the same issues as old WW, and late game she is just outclassed by everything else as a diver, as a fighter, as a skirmisher, as a juggernaut, as a draven, and as a tank.

Overall, her weakness is her being kited (which in this season has been a weakness that decides viability with how much mobility there is), getting out ganked, getting caught trying to make objective plays, and falling off as a hyper carry late game.

I think shyvana needs revisited (or given a VGU sooner than later) because her rework last season did almost nothing for her and she's in a worse spot than she was prior to it, all it did was make her broken for a patch or two and then rock bottom again. There's no reason to pick shy over hecarim or even skarner which is pretty hilarious.
