Shyvana's Twin Bite is now a bad ability

PapaGreg21··16 votes·1,242 views

After the nerfs to make devourer more balanced on her, twin bite has almost no bite to it. Instead of an empowered attack, it feels like merely another autoattack. The other thing that hurts her is that now you really have to try to level it earlier instead of her e just to make it a relevant ability. It's not even a really fun ability and provides little aid to her kit outside of an aoe attack while in dragon form.

I knew this was going to happen. As soon as they started nerfing her and Yi before Devourer we all knew they were screwed.

This patch it is 52 but the last couple it has been under 50. Her play rate has consistently gone down every patch post devourer so once the play rate gets around 2 or lower the win rate isn't as relevant because it is just assumed that the champion is weak and more anomalies can occur.

The nerf was stronger than you think. I am not sure if you play her a lot but it definitely impacted early trading and really destroyed her laning phase.

We at riot believe this has made Shyvana's gameplay healthier, and introduces more choices when it comes to her gameplay.

And they "compensated" for losing up to half of a bonus damage on an ability AND an item which made her into a problem in the first place by increasing her goddamn AP ratios. Too bad she ain't Zed I guess, then we might've hoped for something which actually has an impact.

Honestly I feel like the new blood razor item is a noob trap. Auto atk junglers should just go for cynderhulk like ww and shyvana and warrior for junglers like jax yi and xin xhao. But if they want to make people buy blood razor they need to cut its stats in half and give it stacks like rageblade with phantom hit once u cap the stacks.

If it isn't going to do any damage, give it a slow so it at least has some utility.

Yeah, it sucks. Funny thing, the Q nerf hurt more Shyvana top then Shyvana jungle, since her trade in lane is much worse now, but in the jungle it doesn't really matter.

Good. She's extremely powerful anyway.
