Riot should never have nerfed Shyvana before removing Devourer

Very low play rate since devourer was removed and meaningless buffs that did nothing to improve her since then. The nerf on her q should never have happened in the first place. If you think her early dueling was too strong you need to look at her win rates top lane

I would agree shyvanna got shafted but she and other champs also abused a broken item.... but the issue was the item not the champs

Riot should have never even removed devourer. Simple as that, just revert the rageblade to season 5 version and everything would have been just fine, but Riot decided that they knew better, and decided to make things worse than they were before.

There's a particular reason devourer was removed. Not only that, but they shouldn't have tried to re purpose it, they should have removed it forever.

Shyvana is fine. I'm saying that as someone who plays Shyvana a lot; she's fine.

I've been a Shyv main for 2 years. The issues I have:

  • She's not that strong early on.

  • Her pre-level 6 ganks suck

  • Your only hope is split push farming

  • No CC, stuns or slows.

  • She doesn't have the health/armor that she used to.

Farming is the only thing she does better than anyone else. People like Jax/Yi/Voli/Lee are better fighters. People like Vi/Yi have much better ganks. People like Sej and Grag are much better tanks that provide more.

And thus how Shyv has always been, even when she's strong. Those things define Shyvana's idenity, and are the only way you can justify her absurd strengths. And I doubt they're gonna rework her any time soon.

Devourer was the perfect item for Shyv, and she's been lost without it.

Other than a rework, she could use a buff on her E or some extra armor/hp.

I'm inclined to disagree. Shyvana item 1416 item 3078 item 3748 item 3111 item 3742 item 3075

Shyvana summoner 3 summoner 11 still works unless you're a baddie that tries to gank early game.

It's a problem when it comes to balancing item. Instead of taking small bite of the cake(nerfing the item or champion that uses that item) Riot shove the whole thing down their throat(nerfing both).
