So.. when's the last time Shyvana got touched? Got that rework to her passive and E and R changes but that's it. I remember she was my first champ ever and I one tricked her. I have always loved playing her but now she's just pretty bad. Maybe show her some love? I know we got tons of reworks coming like Urgot and Evelynn along with Kayn but maybe at least buff her? Just something to get her relevant again
DunkinNoobs2 votesMost Shyvana players don't really understand her playstyle and her statistics suffer for it. Whenever Shyvana's stats are good, she's broken on people who really understand what this champ is about. I wouldn't mind some Shyvana buffs, but as someone who already does quite well with her, it really wouldn't take much to make her broken again.

She's basically riots eternal whipping bitch just like pantheon is riots eternal whipping boy. Those 2 champions are never really allowed to be strong.
DunkinNoobs1 votesYou realize that Pantheon is the highest winrate top laner in the game right now, right?
Big Lincoln1 voteselucidate me on shyvana, I never could get consistent results with her
DunkinNoobs4 votesYou never will. She's a hard farming counterjungler which is bound to fail a decent amount of the time simply due to the flaws in that playstyle. But execute it well and you can easily expect to win 60% of your games on her. As for the specifics, there really aren't any. Just keep a few priorities in mind as you play: Farm hard early. Invade to steal camps if the enemy jungler ganks on the other side of the map. If the enemy laner roams or is forced to back, push his lane and take his tower. You'd be surprised how often you can get first tower just by showing up when the enemy is gone and killing the tower with your laner. This is especially effective top lane where just 1 tp bot lane can be enough for you and your top laner to get the tower. After early game, you'll just want to keep lanes shoving towards the enemy at all times while you live in the enemy jungle and punish bad rotations by taking towers. You're not great at teamfighting so you want to avoid those unless you can come in late and play clean up Master Yi style. You're really fast, you push really fast, and you're a great duelist, so you'll want to split constantly unless you can end the game or get huge objectives by grouping. You're also amazing at taking Baron and can rush it at basically any time, so always be looking for that.
d4rkshock1 votesShyvana is one of those champions that riot doesn't want to be super strong as it appears. I feel you. Shyvana was my first champion and I have the money St mastery points on her. I played her when she. Was one of the better top lanners. She was op toplane for a long time then when she started sucking, I heard about sated devour and kept fucking shit up. She got me into the jg role. Too many champions that use sated devour becomes a problem along with guinsoos the who cinderhulk sucks Sunfire cape debacle. They move phantom proc to guinsoos and bring back madreds bloodrazor. They tried to make guinsoos work on her but it didn't do anything. She isn't a diver because she lacks cc. They also tried buffing her ult and that also did nothing. They then have her a rework and she was good again and then they nerf her 2 patches later. They removed the 20% bonus damage to monsters from her w. Also during this time, shyvana's items kept getting nerfed as well because of other champions. That's basically her balance issue. She's strong then gets nerfed and left to rot. Also her passive creates a feast or famine playstyle. They should give her a cc ability and some kind of gapcloser pre 6. If they decide to rework her, they would likely change her into some kind of diver.
Immaculate Rhea1 votesShe's supposed to be a diver, but her only REAL diving skill is her ult. But other than that, she has nothing else. Even if she's built like a tanky frontliner, she can't do much else because she just used her only diving ability and has no cc and will get kited to hell. Sure, building items like Deadman's, chilling smite or frozen mallet can help a little but it only goes so far. I've been a Shyv main for a few years now and while I like SOME of the changes, I really feel that this was lacking. So i agree, they should give her some type of gapcloser pre 6. W can only do so much

As imentioned, what I think they should do is give her some cc. They should make her a diver. She is not a diver. She is a juggernaut. Maybe if they gave her a knockup or a stun, she would be good. She also needs to be good pre 6 and not so farm reliant. I would like to.see a full gameplay update in the future. Her visuals are fine by today's standards. They already updated her visuals 2 years ago.
PapaGreg211 votesRiot has a really hard time with attack speed juggernauts. They really should get rid of that class completely and just make them want attack damage instead like Garen, Darius, Skarner, Wukong, etc.
