A passive that would be fun, based on dragons, but not detrimental

Eh, don't judge me too hard. But I think this would be cool for Shyvana.

Current passive: All effects removed.

Base stats: Base/scaling armor and MR slightly buffed to compensate. This is what I mean by not detrimental, losing MR and Armor was a huge hit to her, but they are just stats and boring as a passive, so just add some of that back into base stats.

New passive: Dragonborn On killing dragons Shyvana absorbs their souls and steals a portion of their power. Her E gains bonus effects based on the dragons she has killed.

Wind Drake: E Cooldown reduced by 1/2/3 seconds before CDR Fire Drake: E Damage increased by 5/7.5/10% Water Drake: E Now slows enemies struck by 5/10/15% for 2 seconds Earthen Drake: E AoE increased by 20/35/50 units Elder Drake: Grants 1 stack of all four bonuses. If a bonus is capped nothing is gained. (ALL NUMBERS NEED PROFESSIONAL TUNING!)

It's fun, has the whole dragonborn thing, is tied to drakes, effects her cool new E ability, and yet isn't too strong and thus power doesn't have to be taken from other parts of her kit to compensate. Her base stats are buffed slightly to compensate the huge nerf the new passive was to her.

Eh?

I don't know if Shyvana is actually in need of a buff, but I appreciate your dedication for her.

Just want to point out: I don't think this will make people happy over time. After some time people will complain that a passive, which is literally just affecting one skill of the kit, is kinda strange. I guess people would demand that this passive gets built in a passive of the E itself and demand a new passive for Shyvana.

And the additional 10% damage against dragons is actually nice to have, isn't it? (Btw, does it affect smite? If so, it would actually make Shyvana a damn good dragon securer.)

Smite used to do 10% more that was a bug on PBE (She still takes it fast as heck thx to her new dragon form E applying her debuff for double the amount of time than usual)

It's definitely cool, the first instinct is that the stacking is really strong, but then after a thought you realize that if you have 3+ dragons early you're probably destroying them anyway xD

Adding some base armor and mr back into her kit makes it less detrimental to not have a dragon, which I feel is good since even with this version the existence of Shyvana forces careful dragon watching now.

Wasn't this the original new passive? Isn't it more RNG based?

No, the original new passive effected her entire kit. Giving her things like true damage and CDR. This only effects her E and is very minor, thus letting power be added to her base stats to compensate her old passive.

But you can't control which bonuses you would like, since Drakes are RNG-spawned.

Do i understand you correctly that you want her to get base ar&mr + scaling ar&mr and then extra buffs for the typ of dragons killed?

....I could get behind this idea. Still hate how it's still tied to dragons (I just don't like champion power being tied to maps or objectives like the current passive) but here I'm kinda feeling it (to an extent). Few questions though: Is this just her Dragon E or both forms? Is the E % damage increase suppose to be her health % damage increased or the base damage of it? Are there no other effects that Earth could empower besides dragon form?
