Should I just play shyvana as kind of an "attack nunu".

Shyvana is the farming jg. she's super efficient in terms of farming. She has come back into the meta a bit because of recent buffs and isn't picked alot because she just farms due to the lack of ganks. Anyways, shyvana is known to be a good counter jungler. The few that can beat her are xin zhao, Yi, trundle, and Warwick at least until the late game. The reason I say "attack nunu is because nunu is the counterjungler. Ive also played and his ganks are sub par and he can't really fight that well. His use has been defined as not making the enemy jg useless but discoing it down mid XD. Don't do that. Just as bad as inting and riot, fix your ban system. Anyways he just keeps stealing camps. Instead taking camps, you also hunt the enemy jg and gut them like a fish. What this does is puts them behind in gold and exp because they lose camps and play black and white simulator while you take camps.if they try taking your shit, they've just kicked a hornets nest because you have your teammates. They can help you. Also the way I do it is I start whatever side they are least likely to start like if it's an Eve or elise, I start their red but if they normally start red, u start their blue. If they can do either or, I start top side. I don just take the buff, I also take the raptors for red and for blue, I get both gromp and wolves. That slows their lvl 3 down by like a whole minute enough time to clear the rest of my jg and back for items. I also take scuttle for HP. So I can clear an extra camp. Of course, you need to gank if you can. I tried this strategy against a ww and I put him at a lasting gold and lvl disadvantage. I couldn't beat him 1v1 though but they eventually surrendered at 20 because our ADC was good. Anyways, is this a good way to use shyvana.

I I've mained ever since sated devour and 6.9 is a Vietnam war flashback. Now you only get that if you get guinsoos. I wonder how full as on hit shy and would work out. Anyways that aside guinsoos isn't a good item on her even though he auto-attacks alot. Either your target is dead or you're dead by the time you stack it. But what I mean is you counterjungle the fuck out of the enemy and if they dare oppose you, sounds slit their parents throats and bring them tgeir heads in a bag then you tie them up and execute them by stabbing them 37 times in the chest afterwards.

Um... Well... I've played Shyvana a lot (have level 7 on her if that means anything). When I play her I find ganks really easy, sure pre level 6 ganks are harder because she's really only good in her ult, but her early game damage is rather insane. Get chilling smite and you can 1v1 most laners. I don't understand why I never see any shyvanas, and when I do they're not too good. You can solo dragon at level 4 after you back, and you can 1 shot adcs when you have ult up.

When I jungle I always start whatever buff my bot side is on, its good for keeping a good health bar. Most times I don't get raptors or krugs unless I know I will back after I get them because of their damage output. Getting rift scuttles in between camps is very vital.

I wouldn't recommend counter jungling too much, because you focus more on that instead of ganking. Even if you think you aren't you are. Honestly shyvana W+chilling smite against a pushed up lane is pretty much a guaranteed kill (Unless your lane is special :/)

I also played her alot and she's my most played but I've kind of broken away because how things have been going lately. When they reworked her, I was savage. I murdered Everything in sight. I also take ghost so I can go for a lvl 3 cheese gank. I just heard she's back in the meta. I've been playing Yi in the jg as a substitute until she's meta again and here she is. I also take dragon lvl 4 if I can. It even adds an extra dragon to the game which allows me to get 30 Mr and armor for free basically

Yeah, she's a very good champion.

I've played a variety of champions in jungle and shyvana is one of my favorite. Master yi is a good one too. Level 7 on him too.

I agree and shyvana and your are very similar in terms of playstyle. Shyvana is basically tank yi. But what about a more counterjungle oriented playstyle. The idea is to be a complete bully and murder the fuck out of the enemy jg and basically keep them down and while they are respawning, gank if you can. That's what I mean. Also be sure to take dragons lvl 4. I always do that and nobody ever expects it. Don't know why. It always works unless your super unlucky and they find you.

Shyvana is really good at taking raptors early actually. Krugs are just kinda slow to clear
