Riot, I love you. Give my woman Shyvana some loving CC.

It's a hard life being a half-dragon.

And why is that?

For starters, the Demacians I fight with make me think I have a Fear ability. My E has been taken to the nerfing block quite a bit, My Q basically has been cut in half (props to patch 6.6[6]), and despite my W being buffed, I rarely build AP unless it's for Guinsoo's or lolz.

Dang. AP is all me.

The worst part, other than my sad Wukong passive, is my lack of CC! Even a slow on my E would be nice!

Also I am not your father.

This cheesy dialogue has enlightened your minds (I hope), everyone.

~~btw what if she just got a complete rework?~~

tbh I'd much rather see efforts made to maintain broad spectrum viability than new champions. I seem to be in the minority of belief that never being disappointed with a champion pick represents a better game than one with something new every X interval.

But maintaining viability over the 100+ champ pool is harder and probably less profitable than new content. League is big enough that there are probably a myriad of untapped revenue streams without jeopardizing the balance integrity with ever new appealing champ releases or something less palatable to League being one of the premiere and historic free to play havens. Becoming a middleman facilitator of master players collecting coaching fees and taking a percentage? Just spitballing. Perhaps the client is at its limits - I know I have my share of freezes and crashes.

Anyway... Keep on hope'n. At least Shyvana is still good at clearing the jungle. Aatrox is bad everywhere.

Riot has heard my cries. And they nerfed her again -_-

i would not be surprised if they gave Shyvana CC and neutered her damage, now that they've admitted to trying to stifle farm jungling

we can't have any of that diversity riot loves to preach about

but she has a shitty knock back, that's technically cc..

She's getting at least a mini-rework during the preseason, so hopefully they'll give her either CC or sustain in that.

Honestly? Just let her ult act like a Malphite or Hecarim ult and make her unable to be CCed during the leap and I think she'll be fine. Which speaking of, why the hell doesn't she already have that seeing as her ult is a carbon copy of Malphite or Hecarim's ults?

Shyvana ult should definitely fear.

She's not a champion designed around CC, that's supposed to be her one weakness to make up for her insane mixed damage. She's supposed to be a late game hyper carry with insane DPS that is incredibly hard to build against due to the magical and physical damage.

You give her some major form of CC on her ult other than the knockback and you take her playstyle and identity away by replacing it with other power.
