Sated Devourer - Titanic Hydra Shyvana NEEDS to be addressed

This combo is disgusting honestly, providing good mid-game tankiness on Shyv but also ridiculous burst, especially vs squishies.

Called it! A month ago she was #1 on my list of predicted 'OP' champs.

But for real, she's definitely not unbeatable. She's got an incredibly easy to predict ult and that's her only gap closer. Early on if she's going devourer you need to be all over her jungle, all over dragon and rift herald, and all over the lanes to really push in her early game disadvantage. Denying the big stuff like Rift Scuttlers, Herald, and Dragon really puts her far behind. Once teamfights start you need to kite her. Ahri Velkoz Ezreal Bard Zilean Zyra are all excellent picks against her. I don't want to stereotype Shyv players, but considering I am one, it's safe to say that once Shyv reaches her massive powerspike she gets incredibly ballsy and downright stupid at times. Take advantage of that. Shyv players are masters of throwing.

Ahri does not belong on this list.

she was nerfed, meaning that she no longer can kite champions with dashes. Shyv can ult right on top of ahri even WITH ahri landing charm.

3 free dashes + her E (even without stopping dashes) + her Q movespeed + her spellvamp makes her pretty ridiculous to chase and catch.

Ahri is up there with Leblanc Shaco Kassadin Janna Lulu on the "Fuck that, I'm not gonna bother chasing this shit" list.

I'd honestly put her as #1 on that list. No way she doesn't belong there.

except that her only escape is on a 70 second cooldown.

Q also gives movement speed.

The Bearded BardMar 4, 20161 votes

So you're saying Ahri, who has movement speed increase on Q, charm on E, and three dashes on her ult doesn't kite as well as Velkoz, Brand, and Zyra who only have one or two forms of skillshot CC to kite with?

She does but she literally one shots squishies with this build bc she gets three titanic hydra procs off with her Q and phantom hit on devourer. It's really ridiculous...

Yea she does a lot of damage, but she does not damage if she can't reach you and then stick to you. That's the point were making here.

Kill her lanes early or kill her in the jgl. Her early game ganks are pathetic.

She hits lvl 6 faster than any other jungler.

She will hit lvl 6 faster than most ppl if she sits in her jgl. At that point an early game jgler like LeeSin , Pantheon , or Shaco can take a dump on the lanes. You also want to chose when to fight her. If her fury bar is gone you go fight her, I not wait for it to expire. She may seem like a Nasus but she can be beaten.

This has pretty much always been Shyvana's thing. She doesn't gank until later, and she doesn't gank with a lot of CC, but if for some reason you get close to her she kills you because she does insane amounts of mixed damage. She's always been this way. People could counter her before, so instead of complaining come up with a way to counter her now.

how is she sticking to you? are you playing jhin or something? if she goes devourer and rushes titanic, she has no bork, so unless she has chilling+exhaust, she shouldnt be able to catch, plus you can just flash if thats the case. I play shyv jungle quite a bit and getting kited happens to me all the time.
