Why is jungle Shyvana not building jungle items?
Oh, the jungle items are pretty bad on her now. You know riot, it's pretty bad when your #1 power farmer in the jungle isn't even bothering to buy the item that is meant for her
because it costs her a few points of win rate when she gets it instead of something like the Bork. As much as I'm glad bloodrazor doesn't require people to farm for 20 minutes to fully stack it, as it stands right now, the item is pretty weak. When you've got a champion like shyvana who scales off of attack speed and she's not getting the AS item because it is hurting her, it's pretty obvious that the item is just bad.
So the question is, is the buff in AS going to fix the item. I don't know. I mean the extra 10% AS is going to be nice but frankly so few champions scale well off of AS, it's hard to say it will help. Let's be honest, AS doesn't make your skills hit any harder nor does it make your attacks any stronger. Then we've got the issue of how it deals physical damage. I think that's making bloodrazor weaker than it should be. Your average tank builds 300 armor and next to no MR. That 3% max health physical damage turns into 1%. Now for better or worse champs like shyvana don't build armor penetration (hard to justify it on shyvana and a black cleaver doesn't do her win rate any favors), nor do champs like Yi.
I think this is a pretty telling failure from riot's perspective. I mean sure someone like Yi probably should build armor pen, and unlike Shyvana his winrate is actually improved if he gets a last whisper item. Still, you have to look at what people are building across all elos. Tanks are building a lot of armor but for someone like shyvana, you can't justify a slot on armor penetration because she does mixed damage and shyvana gets one, maybe 2 damage items top (her most common build is just the one damage item). I think the only reason she's getting titanic hydra right now is because she's building enough health to make it viable.
So I think that bloodrazor is probably going to stay a bad item even after the 10% change just because the type of damage it deals. While some junglers could consider a good armor pen item, champs like shyvana can't. Bloodrazor isn't great on her by itself and I don't see shyvana getting a 3rd damage item to make the on-hit damage go through loads of armor.
. I would have preferred to get bloodrazer but im convinced at this point that cinderhulk is more efficient on her. Rageblade is a trap on shyvana. Don't get it. Far too expensive and not worth unless you are going a near full damage build with additional on-hit.
