@Meddler, Shyvana's Twin Bite (Q) does not need to be that weak with Devourer gone

PapaGreg21··4 votes·412 views

Those nerfs to twin bite were just not needed in this post devourer world as it has become little more than a second autoattack instead of an _empowered _autoattack. Not only that but you have to level it up after burnout or it stays horrible for the majority of the game, so in reality it is an indirect nerf to the kit because you have to wait to level up flame breath. Let's make this a real ability again and not just a boring and weak sauce second auto even if you have to do something different than just throwing damage at it (i.e. giving it a slow, proc flame breath, etc.)

I used to really enjoy shyvana,

but then a new item entered league of legends item 3074 after the tiamat rework, i feel shyvana lost niech in top lane. and in the jungle, she's basically a stat stick. as much as i enjoy her thematically in the jungle and in top lane, i have to admit that right now, all i getting for playing her is stats on legs.

i feel she needs to be somewhat re-worked. a reason for picking her should exist that is not "dragon is bigger and badder than the average cat/bear/wofl"

I think she is close to being very well balanced and fair. I think her ultimate needs to have less abilities interrupting it and twin bite should have a 25% slow if used on an enemy marked with flame breath (similar to skarner's kit) that allows her to autoattack a champion in fights without getting kited too badly. You don't even have to change her off and def stats even after the twin bite nerfs during the devourer era. Right now her play rate is dipping pretty low, showing that there are a lot of better options.

Perhaps she "needs to spend some time out of the spotlight" like Sej did. Don't worry though, just like Sej Riot will buff her back up...

next season.

I had an idea for a different shyvana Q

I was playing baldur's gate 2 and during a dragon fight, there's this move where the dragon knocks you away from it in order to get it's breath attack off...

So i thought, why not have shyvana's Q be 'Wing buffet' instead of twin bite, where she knocks a target away from her about 100-150 units, and when in dragon form, she swipes her wings from outwards in and grabs people close around her and clumps them up that 150-ish units in front of her to make them vulnerable to more AOE spells... that move wouldn't need to apply onhits twice or get CDR from basic attacks

although it would lower her early clear speed a bit, the CC on it would also lower the damage she takes from camps and give her some CC for pre-6 ganks so it would slightly compensate, and it would also give her a way to disengage from fights as a laner, and give her a bit of followup to her dives during teamfights
