Hello everyone,
I currently have enough IP saved up to get Shyvana, and I will most likely get the Championship skin as a "collector's item". I was wondering, is Shyvana herself viable in the current meta? What are her strengths and weaknesses, and what is her current place? Again, I'll be getting her anyway, I was just wondering if I can get some use out of her.
Thanks.
Can't speak for her current viability these days (I do enjoy her top though), but with the current direction of the pre-season changes she'll be a very strong contender as a common jungler.
Shyvanna's early game isn't the best, she has an extremely good late game. Not to mention she's really fun to play.
Her strengths I've noticed is she synergizes extremely well with On-hit abilities and building attack speed. She also has some great AoE damage, and is pretty good at chasing. One notable weakness is she lacks CC, which some people may not like. She's also somewhat susceptible to kiting and champions with a flat speed boost (her's wears down over time)
I wouldn't say she's top tier, but she's definitely not someone you should dismiss as not viable. As Zero Anarchy said, she feels great to play, especially in Dragon form.
One build I often use is 
, and I've gotten great results from it, even if two of the items are considered bad.
