Still trying to get shyvana buffed...

TecToNiiC··8 votes·1,788 views

After the last round of bugfixes/changes where her fire trail in dragon form now procs every second instead of every .75 seconds I was wondering why this was the direction taken. I understand that it makes for sense for an even 1 second but that kind of goes against the idea of the ability.

it is a trail of fire....why would they not go for the shortest proc interval. It's not like she is rammus where it makes sense for the tremors to "pulse." Fire should be doing constant damage while you are in it. Same with the normal part of her w.

My proposed changes/buffs:

Burnout: Duration and damage are unchanged but instead of procing the damage every one second, proc half the damage every .5 seconds. IMO this makes more sense thematically with fire. This would also apply to the fire trail procs in dragon form.

Dragon's Descent: Immune to CC during the jump and all CC applies upon landing, similar to Vi. She doesn't need to be completely immune to CC just let her have the ability to make an epic jump into the enemy team like she is supposed to and then get stuck.

She is rumored to have a new skin in the coming months so hopefully it will bring some buffs as rito has to make the moniez.

People are asking for Shyvana buffs?

Dear god this community..

Well, at least OP has a point, the remaining fire should tick every .5 seconds and have it's damage scaled accordingly.

They still need to have her ult charge while dead. Still doesn't work.

Please let it be Dragon Slayer Slayer Shyvana.

Needs something to stick it to J4, Braum, Pantheon, and Vayne >:(

Im hoping for either mecha, full metal, or a lightning themed one. It wouldnt really make sense for her to fight J4 :P

She killed the dragon that killed her father (source: lore), so I'm a bit miffed that she doesn't have a Dragonslayer skin.

TBH, I'd be perfectly happy with any non-strippery skin that doesn't make her look like a regular human. Let her keep her glowy eyes and odd skin tone!

Zeronis made the dragon colors sexy. Works anyway.

I'm with you. Hoping for a good skin. :)

she is very in need for some kind of cc reduction to be a successful split pusher. mercs alone don't help u. dragon's descent? more like pussycat jump as it can be stopped by any small cc

the feels when i stopped shywana from jumping over a wall with her ult, my team murders her in baron pit and she says wtf in all chat

She's so good in teamfights, why do we need to buff her splitpushing...?

Sire Hippington1 votes

change W to only give full ms id running towards enemy, splitpush nerfed and now we can give her a ult that is more than a glorified escape

Wheatloaf1 votes

The post I was responding to sounded like they wanted to buff her splitpushing, not nerf it...

But it's not a glorified escape. It has a huge impact in teamfights tbh...

I would happily replace her passive with some good CC reduction. Everything else is fine I think. Some extra fire breath damage would be nice, but I'm not complaining and I think she's fairly balanced as is.

Edit: Also, she's a great split-pusher, lol. Her waveclear isn't even waveclear. That implies it takes time to clear. Put a Hydra, Sunfire, and Flare on her. Lane? What lane?

extra fire breath damage? but it does percentage hp damage when you hit them when they have the debuff...to make up for that it doesn't have huge base damage because that would be kind of crazy...

MAZZ1M01 votes

ikr ;P

Like I said, I'm not complaining.

I dont think she needs cc reduction. plus cc reduction doesn't aid in the problem you listed, cc immunity does. but giving her that is not a good idea either because not having counterplay to those kinds of ultimates isnt good for the game itself.

Her E should be a CC abilty imo. Yeah Shyvana needs some love.

TecToNiiC2 votes

IMO she doesn't have enough power budget left in her kit to have cc as she has solid tank stats and good damage to make up for her lack of CC. I agree 100% that she needs some love though.

Phoneixflare1 votes

I agree with OP EXCEPT i dont think she needs to be ignoring cc during ulti casting etc...because that allows her to have guaranteed engages...that's one of the main problems with Vi and Malphite or anyone that cant be 'targeted' by cc or damage

TecToNiiC2 votes

Personally I never had a problem with vi or malph being able to force an engage. IMO that is the point of playing them and how I personally play shyvana

Phoneixflare1 votes

Except, clearly, with the advent of dragon slayer skins, dragons ARE stoppable...meaning that isnt the way they want Shyvana to be thematically or anything like that. Plus, having more of those kinds of ultimates (especially one that doesnt cost anything, only essentially has the cooldown of her 'rage' bar) that allows for guaranteed initiation leaves room for little to no counterplay. That=not fun.

Also, there are other reasons to play Vi and Malphite. Vi is very good at counterjungling due to her base damage values

Malphite is able to be a good frontline tank to absorb some poke because he builds so many resists that he can pop his shield from the poke and still take very minimal damage and then have it back up 10 seconds later or whatever. Then on top of that, he has a movespeed slow and attack speed slow, making him a walking Randuin(before he gets that item, because that item is really good on Malphite)

Hope it's good. I like Ice Drake and Ironscale, but I'd like something new.
