Shyvana

Getting right to the point, Shyvana jungle sucks right now, and its pretty obvious why.

Last seasons she finally saw some play when feral flare was a thing and power farming junglers were in vogue, but now the jungle is seemingly designed to punish her for her inherent weaknesses.

Right now, anything without some kind of sustain or shield can barely survive the first clear, and being sent packing from the jungle more frequently means less gold. Junglers need to have sustain, and they need to offer ganking power, cc and utility to make up for the gold disparity. So suddenly we see more JarvanIV and less Udyr . (but dont worry, we will never see less LeeSin )

Shyvana lacks any form of innate sustain, lacks crowd control and utility. She gets thrown on the pile of junglers that dont fit in Riot's strict jungle meta.

tldr: Fix the freaking jungle already.

And yet she still full clears a jungle faster than just about everyone. She's a terrible ganker, but saying her jungle sucks is just downright untrue. She has more than enough power to clear 3 camps for her first Machete upgrade, and from there she steamrolls the jungle.

Right. She's good at what she does (power farming/split pushing) but her big weakness is that in a teamfight she needs someone with CC and you can't really gank with her.

BTW, if you want sustain on her, get bork like everyone else.
