You're turning her into another feast or famine champion. She's either going to completely stomp your team, or fall flat on her face. This is not a healthy style of gameplay, and it is going to be a dread to play against i feel if these buffs go through.
EDIT: oh yeah, i forgot to add that it's RNG - an interactive mechanic
Raiku Kawisa3 votesShyvana was already feast or famine. The rest of her kit is good enough for her to still have an impact even without getting any dragons. Though I do agree the passive is the main thing that worries me with these changes.
Big Lincoln2 votesjust the passive is an issue, IMO. Either keep the current or give her something that's more dragon-y and not "I get extra stats from an arbitrary, randomly-spawning map objective"
everything else I'm quite alright with, though I feel she still has no way to contribute to a team if she falls behind.

Feast or famine. She either snowballs the game to hell, or can't get any objectives and essentially loses a passive.
Big Lincoln1 votesI like the E change in this respect; it's a little small IMO but it at least offers her a little bit of zone control in fights.
Meep Man2 votesHow many times must I quote that they will balance her kit to be able to succeed without her passive?
The Fast2 votesRiot has said Shyvana will be balanced around her not NEEDING her passive, but using it as a way to influence her gameplay patterns.
Big Lincoln3 votes"win more" mechanics - thought riot was trying to get rid of those
WoonStruck2 votesPassive change should not go through. Map-specific win-more mechanic. That's not okay design.
Oglaf1 votesYup.
Just let her keep her current, solid Passive instead of the new gimmicky and unreliable one.
Pretty please, Rito.
