Nerfing Shyvana the wrong way?

Hi Im a lil Shy··1 votes·564 views

Hello,

I'd like to share a few thoughts on the shyv nerf on the PBE. I think picking at her clear speed is taking away the identity of Shyvana. I agree that she needs to be tuned down, but in a different way in my opinion. The current problem with her, is her midgame I guess. She just gets out of control there, and then falls off later as other people reach 5-6 items.

What I suggest is nerfing said midgame a little bit, without hurting the very characteristic clearspeed she has. The E in dragon form is definetly very strong at the moment, and could use some tuning down on the flat damage part for example. (Maybe in the early ranks, and leave the damage the same at max rank) Also, the Ult in Dragon form could give a bit less health at levels 6 and especially 11 for example. (Still giving her the same late power at 16)

This is just my humble opinion. (I have 900k on Shyvana though)

Opinions would be appreciated

They already talked about what they would consider nerfing about Shyvana post-buff a little while back and they said at the time that they would probably go for her bonus W damage, primarily because Shyvana players wanted a jungle-specific nerf so that top lane Shyvana didn't take yet another hit and maybe there'll be less of a difference between the two. Yeah, targeting her clear speed isn't necessarily ideal, but on the other hand it's very nice to nerf her in a way that ONLY affects her clear speed, and not anything else. Most nerfs to jungler's clears also make their PVP worse, so Shyvana is getting quite a good deal in reality.

What most don't know is that this hardly effects her early clear at all :)
