AP Shyvana needs to be nerfed in ARAM

Keiyani·Dec 2, 2019·3 votes·2,621 views

Rare ARAM main here (ranked when, Rito?).

Shyvana is fun to play as either full AP or tank in SR (and allows for diversity), but she is incredibly frustrating to play against in ARAM. She outbursts some of the burstier mages/assassins, and can take a considerable amount of damage despite not having any tank items.

EIther her AP ratios need to be nerfed or her damage intake needs to be increased. This is just not fun to play against (and not fun to watch even when she's on your own team) and there is very little counterplay (even when building mr items). One E doing 700 damage at 7 minutes is a little disheartening to play against.

I rather they bring bans back.

Separate issue, but I definitely agree. They at least help guarantee you wouldn't get the same stale champs each game. For a 'random' game mode, I sure do see a ton of the same comps/champs.

I own over 130 champions and I get the same 10 or so every game. If it wasn't for rerolls I think I'd end up playing Ornn every other game.

I saw a rare Skarner the other day. Haven't seen him pop up in 6 months or so! But lately there's been a Shaco or Shyvana every game. It's like they pick a "flavor of the month" rotation.

Had an AP Shyv do 28k damage in a game. This is more than twice anyone else. Watching helpless Kalista on the other team lost 50% of her HP with 1 E then a DH proc killing her was just sad.

I played against an AP Shyv as a "tank" Neeko with 65% magic reduction and almost 3k health and still got two shot. Pretty sad feeling to know my mr did nothing. :(
