Shyvana Jungle in the Preseason

Anyone tried it out what do you think?

I think any of the initial Machete upgrades suit her but only Devourer and Juggernaut enchants really are ideal for her. Juggernaut for tank and Devourer for late game scaling and dps. Warrior won't work good since 60 to 80% of her damage in any given game is magic damage the armor pen is pretty wasted. And AP Shyv is fun but no viable.

As for the initial, ranger's would really let her build up her stats quick and survive the new non sustainable jungle and let her counter jungle decent. The poacher knife would let her counter jungle and try to keep the other jungler from being successful early game, might be her best bet... The stalker's blade chilling smite might let her gank effectively but a 2 second slow isn't gonna magically let her get kills imo. Besides gank heavy champions like hec and lee will get alot more mileage out of it than shyv will and the red buff slow was decreased. The saber would let her scale very well with devourer late game and also let her increase her dueling potential and possibly split pushing and still let her try to counter jungle.

I guess it depends how much she needs and benefits from the faster clears of rangers, vs the perks of the other ones since she has no sustain. Ranger and Poacher seem really relevant to her though, I feel most will probably try to gank with the Blade or use the Devourer + Saber combo. Riot did a good job making us choose, as there's really any path she could take.

Since smite is on such a long cooldown now, I feel she doesn't benefit from Saber until late game, it would let you solo ADC and that would be really good. But it's a late game gambit for sure. Blade for Chilling smite is tempting but I think with smite on 60s cooldown is actually the worst buy for her. She won't outgank a leesin or kha'zix even with that item and she won't have sustain like either of them. So that leaves Poacher's if you want to live in the enemy jungler which I feel once people know you have a poachers teams will start warding thier own jungle like crazy if they're any good so I am not sure how that will play out with Shyv who has no way to really jump over walls without blowing her ult and alot of the poachers knife benefits come in early game, but it's something you could try to do for sure, especially if you keep smiting their wraiths for the ward clear. And rangers.. I feel like rangers + devourer is probably my favorite build but I'm not sure how it will work out in actuality. It will allow her to try to counter gank pretty well as she'll have sustain, and with it have maybe the fastest clear speed in the game and with all the smite benefits she could be loaded up on buffs. Shyv is also a great split pusher and ranger's also helps with that significantly. You could also go juggernaut with rangers for a rush your tank build approach. I feel there's people that will just make better use than her of the other routes but I can see me taking things situationally such as a Sabre if they have some hyper carries like Yi or Vayne who I want to own late game. Maybe even take exhaust with her smite for the ability to truly shut them down. I can also see Sabre a default pick against invis champs like Kha'zix, Vayne and Twitch and Eve and Shaco.
