Can we rework Shyvanas passive all

She is a linare champion. In some ways, I feel like even Garen has more diversity in his kit

Can we please do something to her kit so she can work around it? I feel like her Passive is the place to start

Her passive is literally the only thing wrong in her kit lol

She's a Juggernaut/Diver with no CC (aside from ult), and no built-in sustain. She's not in a terrible place, but there's not much reason to pick her over many other champs. Originally, her niche was power farming and objective control. Now, Riot is actively nerfing power farming while nerfing her clear speed. Graves has better clearspeed/ganks, Nunu/Ivern have better objective control, and Skarner/Udyr/Mundo are better fighters out of the jungle.

There is a reason Ivern and Graves are getting hit with nerfs over and over and still are, they are straight up broken. She is still great when it comes to stealing camps because her clear spd is faster than everyone else just not right off the bat currently. (Graves things) She has one of the fastest clears for the Raptor camps as well, stealing those at just about every spawn time is key to shutting down your opponent. (Screw Krugs)

Objective control she still does really well even without CC simply because how fast she is, it's just obvious not to go for dragon like your life depended on it simply because it's in her bad passive. Going for that without thinking the enemy knows you want it no matter which one it is, simply asks for a bad time.

Pressuring the area around it first or getting them to take a bad drake in exchange for all the pressure you want top is worth. Gotta play with the fact you have a very deniable passive, play with their heads. She dones't need her passive to do well. (Despite wishes for her to have a reliable passive) Also saying she is not as good of a fighter as Skarner/Udyr/Mundo, whom are in WAY lower spots on the jungler boards, is just not understanding the champion to be honest.

As you said she isn't in a terrible spot, passive is just bad imo. Being in the top ten besides this fact while having a less than 2% current play rate? Isn't bad. This tank patch will probably have her being played more but only time can tell that.
