Adapting to the loss of Devourer - Rest in Pepperoni

So, as a Shyvana main, I have had some trouble adapting my playstyle (farm until sated, then go and destroy the enemy carry). The removal of Devourer has hit our small community hard. But what I have discovered (maybe other have as well) is that Guinsoo's Rageblade now produces the exact same effect as Sated Devourer. For Shyvana mains, I recommend Stalker/Cinderhulk for a bit of tankiness and a slow, Blade of the Ruined King for life steal and attack speed, and Guinsoo's as your third item. I like to build Frozen Mallet for the health and slow, but you can decide where you want to go from there. If anyone else has other alternatives to Devourer, I'm always happy to hear them!

guinsoo is terrible on shyvanna. hell the old op one was bad on her and nobody built it on shyv. in 6.11. trinity force on shyv is the way to go. and possibly wits end. into titanic hydra

Her Q and item 3124 lack synergy. Unless there is another on-hit effect item Guinsoo is wasted. I tired it and it performance was lackluster. I had better results with Grasp of the undying + cinderhulk + bork+ full tank or Grasp of the undying + bloodrazor + item 3053 + tank - if enemy jg is building bloodrazor. ( stacking hp against bloodrazor isn't a good option).

I'll probably try item 3078 + item 3053 + item 3116 for maximum base damage wit h E+W+Q combo. E+AA+W+AA+Q+AA, should kill any squishy. TF providing 20%CD+40%AS. ult up FAST, Q,W,E are always ready in 8 sec ( one full combo, more attacks means W is active for longer).

I'm happy devour is gone imo. No more flame for being a toxic devour jg, i can be helpful earlier and nobody b*tches at me for not building devour on her.

So now i can get away with my fun builds on her without getting called a troll as i explode the adc/midlaner/jg with 1 Q+AA

Buuut I agree item 3124 and Shyvana are a no go unless you build her full tank (which you shouldn't). I am looking forward to 6.11 to see how new item 3078 is going to be on her.

To tired to get into specific build paths i go with, been item 3070 though at how much it sucks when the enemy team gets a good lead on your team before you can really become relevant.

I build Shyvana oddly.
