off-meta shyvana build(prepare for the fun)

now you all know is a fantastic tank. but that's no fun! who likes to play a champion with virtually no use besides chasing people, and either A; doing no damage and being forced to ult, or B; doing no damage and getting slowly burned to death or C; split pushing all day. no, the real fun in Shyvana lies in a full ad build. before you judge me, hear me out. this build only works if you DON'T have a lane counter, or if you can manage to outfarm your enemy laner hard while keeping their farm low.

the first item is situational depending on how much your gold income is. but the second item should always be one of the two im about to list. as long as you're not handing over kills left and right. if you are, build tanky and disregard this whole post.

1&2. or . if you get lots of gold early, definitely rush a trinity force. Shyvana has so much synergy with triforce it's stupid. her Q already is an attack steroid that procs trinity force's effect, essentially giving you a 3x strength auto attack, which will guarantee a won trade in just one punch! plus, the added movespeed from auto attacking and getting kills is too good to pass up along with the 8% move speed bonus you get from the item itself. is really good as a farming AND trading tool(USE DAT ACTIVE U GUISE). it gives you a great amount of AD and lifesteal, so there's really no reason to NOT build this item, as it keeps in you lane longer(much longer since you have so many auto attack resets and can vamp 1/4 of your hp in a simple active+AA+Q combo on waves).

STATS SO FAR

that's 105 bonus AD, 30% AS, 10% crit, 12% lifesteal, 100% base health regen, and a 300% damage empowered q at 2 items. pretty much enough to 3 shot most squishies, and demolish most tanks. especially if you happen to land a critical hit. also, imagine dat beautiful %health magic damage from your e, the burn from your w, and the yum yum %health magic damage every AA you get from your e. you're well on your way to becoming an unstoppable hurricane of flaming fire that can either melt turrets quickly or just melt enemy champs(whichever you prefer to do)

3.Boots. It's all about preference here, and honestly you can build any pair of boots you like(save for mpen boots thats dumb yo). my personal preference is because that tacked on with trifroce movespeed bonuses and {{champion:102}'s w makes for quick easy rushdowns of just about anyone(including that pesky{Ahri, Zed, and anyone else naturally escapey) Another solid choice would also be berserker's greaves for that insanely fast AA speed(but not really needed that much considering the next item on the build)

4. alright hold onto your pants, because this is where it gets REALLY crazy. not only do you now have 30 more ad, 10% more life steal, and 40% more attack speed, you also have a very very good passive and active that both synergize with extremely well. There should now be no reason why you can't chase anyone and everyone down and give them a faceful of fist with the active, and the passive just gives you a massive boost to damage against tanks and squishes alike(although not as big for squishes, but that doesn't matter.)

5. not much explaining needed here so i'll keep it short. 80ad+250% crit damage+35% crit+300% q damage=MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE DAMAGE. you'll be 1 shotting squishes, demolishing tanks, and vamping up so much the only thing you really need to worry about is if their team has any cc saved for you. but by this point you should just be streamrolling everyone regardless of who/what they are.

6. if for some crazy reason you haven't ended the game yet, and the enemy team is getting a little too tanky for you, build this. build this and laugh over the broken corpses of your enemies who put up a fight equivalent to that of a toddler vs Muhammad Ali in his prime.

Final stats rundown(boy this is a lot of math and is based at level 18) AD; 398(excluding bork passive on hits, also uses my adcdr runes) AS;1.41 MS; 437(without triforce passive/bork active/w) Crit; 35%(250% crit damage) 22% lifesteal let's calculate shyvana's q now, as this is the most important thing to me. max ranked q makes shyvana do basically 2 AA's at 100% damage that can both crit. with two crits(unlikely but possible) you crit for 1990 damage, and tack on that sweet little passive from tri, and you have another bonus 796 damage. that's 2786 damage on ONE q if you're that lucky.

sure you're susceptible to cc/team focus, but with all that damage and lifesteal, one dragon form cleave can negate SO much of that damage it doesn't even matter. or you could do what most carries do and wait until cc is blown in a teamfight before you go in.
