@Meddler Thoughts on Shyvanna's Ult?

webhippo·3/31/2015, 3:04:43 PM·17 votes·1,178 views

So I was going through some champions and noticed that some use their body to cc when they ult. Some examples are Malphite, Hecarim, Sion, and Vi. These champions travel or move to apply their cc. So I'm excluding champions who need to find other methods to travel to their destination and then ult ( Amumu, Zac, Galio).

And one thing I noticed they had in common is that they're all unstoppable or cannot be disabled while moving with their ult. This brings be to Shyvanna. She also uses her body to cc when she ults. Yet, she can be disabled or knocked back mid flight. Thematically, I feel like a massive mountain of rock, an ethereal horse, an undead general, and a cop who punches down walls should be unstoppable if they want to charge in. But I also think a dragon should be too.

What are your thoughts? And thanks for your time.

Edit: I'm glad to see the community participating and some healthy discussion below. I never really clarified why this was @Meddler though. I was just hoping for some context and if they're keeping an eye on her and such. Alrighty, continue having a good day everyone.

It would be super awesome if someone from balance or design would comment on this, especially since her ult also seems to be extremely hit or miss as to whether the CC is even applied or not. Many is the time I have ulted directly over sprites without them moving, especially nautilus for some reason? Also I have seen ALOT of posts on this issue over the last two years or so, many reaching 100+ upvotes/comments, and to my knowledge they have thus far been entirely avoided by red interaction, which is disheartening to say the least.

That being said she has received a few buffs that are quite nice, especially the jungle change to her burnout.

It would be nice if her R moved everyone she hit towards her final destination and was also CC immune

That plus making her W Physical damage would put her in a good spot again

For now, I'd settle for her ult dragging people the full distance. Or at least not dropping them off at random.

She needs more than an ult though. I really hope Riot doesn't fix this and say "K we got Shyv, let's not look at her again for another year or two."

CC Riot. For all that's good in this world, give her some cc. W slowing champs would be wonderful.
