Reminder that Shyvana Still Doesn't Have a Passive

She really doesn't.

+5 Bonus Armor and MR +5 Bonus Armor and MR per Dragon killed by her or an Ally.

Your team would have to kill every dragon that ever spawned just so she could reach +30 Armor and MR from her passive.

That's not fun. That's not rewarding.

That's bland. Killing a dragon is a major objective.

Do you know what would have been even better? If Shyvana received a bonus to the dragon buffs she has.

Cloud Drake: Instead of +25/50/75 Movement Speed out of combat, +30/60/90 Movement Speed out of combat.

Infernal Drake: Instead of +8%/16%/24% increased AD and AP, +10%/20%/30% increased AD and AP.

Mountain Drake: Instead of 10%/20%/30% true damage to Epic Monsters and Turrets, 12%/24%/36% true damage to Epic Monsters and Turrets.

Ocean Drake: Instead of 4%/8%/12% restored missing health over 5 seconds out of combat, 5%/10%/15% restored missing health over 5 seconds out of combat.

This would make prioritizing dragon for Shyvana even more important and slaying it would mean an even bigger reward for her and, by extent, her allies.

She actually has 10% increased damage against Dragon. It is a passive. Maybe one of the mist lame in the game, but still one.

Rito specifically said that new passive is supposed to be weaker to compensate for the rest of the changes.

It was tested on PBE(or at least something very similar). It got scraped, dragon slayer buffs are very powerful, granting someone even more buffs for killing drakes leads to very unhealthy snowball patterns (also new passive was supposed to be weak).

But that's boring, lazy, and unfulfilling as a player. Yeah, she's got some bitchin' actives, but a lot of champions have those AND real passives. Like...okay well not Syndra...or Viktor...or Hecarim...or Jayce...wow Riot really hates passives...Jhin! Found one!

Are you drunk? He gets 40 armor / MR for free and if he wants to go tankier he gets 15 more.

what you're proposing was already essentially tried prior to the passive she has now. I'm not sure if it was the RNG aspect or if the passive was too strong/weak, but they scrapped it for what she has now.

shyvana never really had a passive...and this never seemed to stop her from being god tier before.

5-40 armor/mr scaling is not "[no] passive." It makes a HUGE difference in her survivability.
