How do you shut down a Shyvana?

CitadelOfIce··3 votes·1,194 views

I have alwase had a problem with this champion when she jungles and short of tricking her into ulting into a allied tower I have no clue how to take her in a one on one. I've been playing her recently and I cant find a solution form the inside either. I vaguely remember wining a 1v1 duel as ChoGath but that was way into late game. Lane isn't the problem either because I can get the creeps to wreck her early on. I just don't know how to shut her down in the JG.

Shyvana needs farm. Pick a strong jungle champion, and gank lanes early. There's no need to go ham, just get your lanes pushed and pressure her out of the jungle. If you can get Shyv focused on ganks pre-6, you open her jungle up for counter-jungling. If your lanes are pushed, your jungle is safer because Shyv wont want to be caught by a roaming mid due to poor vision. Once you start clearing her camps, you can start balancing your ganks. Shyv will leave lane to farm, but her camps will be farmed out. The trick is getting them away from their jungle. That's where lane pressure comes in. Have you ever had a bad jungle game because a lane needed you to babysit? It isn't a coincidence.

Stop dueling her.

The question is like "omg Master Yi broken how do I beat 6 slotted lvl. 18 master Yi 1v1?"

There are answers but you won't like them.

I think you just kill her over and over again.

as a shyvana main here are tips

  • first clear, kinda weak. she'll probably be low as fuck by the time she hits blue. kill her
  • WARD YOUR JUNGLE. shyvana will counterjungle constantly to stack devourer, after she gets her first jg item (which you can get with your first clear) her camp clear is ridiculously fast, and any good shyvana will counterjungle the fuck out of you, leaving you one small chicken / krug / wolf so you lose a ton of xp and gold
  • counterjungle her, she's not a very strong duelist before she's sated, you might be able to get a kill out of it. if not, just take the big part of the camp so she cant stack
  • if you catch her off guard in your own jungle, ping your team to come help. had this one game a few days ago against a sejuani where her team refused to help her when i was in her jungle, so she literally couldn't even go into her jungle because she would die. ended the game like 7k gold behind me
  • speaking of which don't play sejuani. or naut. or any slow tank junglers.

trying to 1v1 a jungler shyvana with sated is asking to be killed

try to take the crabs from her, and she is pretty weak pre 6, IF you let her get sated, you must get at least 3-4 other players to take her down

{quoted} I have no clue how to take her in a one on one.

You're asking the wrong questions. You don't win the game by being the best 1v1 duelist, otherwise Master Yi would be the best champion in the game. To beat Shyvana, you force her to teamfight and then take advantage of her weaknesses as an auto reliant melee champion with no CC. Beating Shyvana 1v1 once she has Sated and Botrk just isn't a reasonable expectation unless you're insanely fed.

The reason for the 1v1 is because that's what I keep getting pulled into. I'll be Kindred walking down to get dragon and shes there waiting for me. Bot lane is in a pitched fight and mid is too focused on there own micro game to even notice us.

Then you kite back, jump over a wall, and ping wildly.

You don't always have to fight her.

Shyv does have a few weaknesses that you can take advantage of. For one, she's a farming jungler. Take her camps through counterjungling will delay her Sated which she needs to unleash her godly mid-late game powerspike. Second being she's fairly immobile pre 6 with only her W ms buff and can be kited quite a bit. Even after 6, her ult is only up situationally. She has to have enough fury to activate her ult (which is her only form of closing gaps), which she has to gain mainly from hitting things, and if she isn't hitting you, she probably doesn't have her ult as her fury bar won't be full.

shes one of the better counter junglers in the game. its hard to do that. she clear camps faster than pretty much any other jungler in the game. u just have to kite her. and cc. because she has ms boost on her burnout i believe

On her first clear? Yeah, thats a good idea.

After that however? Unless you are an even stronger duelist than Shyvana, HELL NO!!

darkmatchwaldo1 votes

Play stronger duelist=problem solved.

You also don't have to fight her if you're not a strong duelist. Any champion can counterjungle if you're smart and have good map awareness. All you have to do is ward her jungle and track her movements, farm whatever side she's not on.

any mele carry that depends on auto attacks and uses devoure. is really strong right now. 1v1 or even 1v2 is stupid.i main jax and when i get 3-4 items if the other team doesn't have absurd cc they won't usually win unless my team is bad. ad mele hypercarries with on hit abilites that benefit from devoure are just broken right now.

Why 1v1 at all? Tell your ADC to buy item 3034 Then tank for the ADC while he shreds her.

Use summoner 3 on her. No it is not a support only spell.
