Now don't get mad about this title, I'm not proposing anything as for lower damage or increase damage, but is there anything planned for Shyvana right now? I feel she is a bit too strong right now, or I'm lacking the knowledge to counterplay. I had no problem facing her in Pre-Season 5 and before. Any tips?
Powderkegg1 votesShyvana has a pretty weak early clear so try picking a jungler with high early game pressure such as Nidalee, Reksai, and Lee Sin, just a few examples. Also most Shyvana's build straight damage with no tanky stats making them very squishy and vulnerable to cc and armor.
Marthian1 votesall the Shyvanas I see build two damage items and the rest tank (or third damage item being Black cleaver.)

Her clear is actually fairly decent due to her aoe and % hp damage. Also, I'm talking about the Shyvanas who are competent enough to buy Devourer, BoRK, Randuin's, Locket/Other Defense, Spirit Visage, and Boots (Usually Merc. Treads or Berserker's Greaves.) They are unkillable menaces with really high damage.
Lugg1 votesShyvana or Devourer need nerfing. Period. Shyvana with sated is THE most OP champ I have ever played. It's not even a challenge to win with her right now, you can 1v5 the other team.
Erockandroll1 votesShyvana has very high synergy with AS. Which is why she gets so much power early game, buying a late game item. (Devourer)
Your probably not going to be able to simply out duel her Early game. But she will lack Ganking pressure. So your best bet is to Get the other lanes snowballing before she ever gets a chance to become sated.
She also won't be building tank until after a few items, So with a little focus, your team can still crush until that point. (that's with focus)
It takes a team effort to win the game.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesShyvana has long-ish cooldowns early and she doesn't have any innate sustain. This result in her being vulnerable to being counter-jungled at her first or second buff; while she's a good duelist, you should be able to beat her if you catch her with her abilities on cooldown. This is further exacerbated if the Shyvana takes Exhaust instead of Flash.
Shyvana has to be in melee-range to deal any significant damage, so she can be susceptible to peel and CC. Displacement abilities are especially annoying since Shyvana's only really gapcloser is running at her target (with the exception of her ultimate, but they will usually lead with it in teamfights).
Shyvana is pretty weak at ganking lanes early in the game. It's not impossible for her (like most junglers, she can easily gank an over-extended lane, especially if they lack an escape and/or wards), but it is much more difficult. Gank-oriented champion can take this time to snowball their allies and put them ahead of the enemy laners.
In my experience, a good Nunu is probably one of the worst opponents for Shyvana to face. In the early game, he can control buffs, Rift Scuttlers, and Dragons to deny Sated Devourer and vision control. Later in the game, Nunu can prevent you from sticking to opponents with his Iceball and ultimate while Bloodboiling his ADC to increase their DPS and mobility. While Nunu can't duel Shyvana, he can easily escape her or chase her down with W and E and there isn't much she can do to stop him. Nunu can easily build Sightstone for track Shyvana throughout her jungle, preventing her from ganking and letting Nunu know where he can counter-jungle safely.
