Final nail in the coffin for shyvana (w nerf)???

d4rkshock··4 votes·1,263 views

So shyvana is receiving a nerf to her w. It no longer deals bonus damage to misters. This is a problem since I've played shyvana for a long time and now the 150k mastery points down the drain. That's a huge hit because she needs to be able to clear fast because she needs alot of farm. This doesn't effect her dueling power but she needs alot of early farm to be good. This isn't the first time this has come up. Remember when sated devour was causing a ruckus in solo queue with udyr, yi, and shyvana. They originally thought of that with shyvana. It's like they reworked shyvana so she can be good and now they don't want her to be good. The change to her w was good because the dragon form upgrade had no place on anyone because it's not a run simulator like singed. I understand that she's really good in low elo but I don't se her too much. I do know that the Koreans use her alot but I don't see her snowballing too much. How will this effect shyvana.

you are kind of slow

the nerf which they test on pbe will indeed ruin her completely

the poor girl can't be good more than 2 patches

What kind of mini rework buffs a champion the causes them to have to make them a shit champion again. The new jg was originally the final nail in the coffin and now this. I just can't play her anymore. I knew she was god teir low elo but I don't think she was that big of an issue with the I don't see her too much.

Winrate =/= champion power. She was one of the strongest junglers for two patches.

It pushes Shyvana out of the jungle and back into top lane. I would not say shes ruined though. Shes just not a jungler anymore.

Remember when Graves was changed from an ADC to a Jungler? Well this will change Shyvana from a jungler to a top lanet.

So now she's basically another splitpusher. I'm not sure if she's even good top. Never tried ever since preseason 5. I'm also wondering where the ww rework at but that's for a different day. Now I need to find a new jg. Welp, I guess I Need a new jg. Until then, I will be playing mid.

Yeah, people that tested it were clearing the jungle for 10 seconds longer than before.

That's nothing. Shyvana is still one of the fastest junglers.

Good to know. The thing that riot wants to eliminate is the farm jg's. Shyvana is an extreme case of that and if that's gone, she will basically become about as bad as urgot. O don't think she's good top. Luckily, it's not that big of a hit. That would've been a waste of time for riot to rework the dragon form and nerf her into the ground. Shyvana has had a rough second half of s6 with all of her items being nerfed to stop others and riot not paying any attention to her at all.

Do you even read what you are saying?

You're a lost cause. Just stop playing her and don't complain then. You're a moron if you honestly believe that 10 damage less will destroy her

^ this this right here, I don't understand why ppl are freaking out over such a small change lol, her clear is still the fastest one in the game.

What made her good (reliable gapcloser on ult) is still there. You're hysterical about this but the 20% bonus damage were kind of just there. She never really needed it. And now that she got so much power from her ult and also from her new E she really doesn't need this bonus damage anymore.

You won't notice a big difference ingame.

good, then you already know that the bonus damage isn't actually necessary and that outside of toxic metas shyvanna never actually had said bonus damage while viable aside from when she was going full tank and actually needed the extra clear speed.
