@Meddler What are the plans for Shyvana?
I wanted to make this discussion to talk about the changes planned for Shyvana after the removal of Devourer. I know you added AP scaling to Shyvana's W, but I don't think it will make any difference for the champion. The new Guinsoo stacks on auto-attacks, not on-hits, so Shyvana's Q will only proc 1 stack and after I played with the item for awhile, it's not that great on her. The reason why Guinsoo is mediocre at best on Shyvana is the fact Shyvana doesn't have a big uptime on targets, so it's better to have a dps item like BotRK/Titanic who does damage from the start and make use of the "momentum", rather than a stacking item, because once you get all the stacks you probably got kited already. Guinsoo might be better for a laner than a jungler, because you can stack on minions and then trade, but you can't do that as jungle Shyvana, especially since she has got no Atk Speed steroid ability to begin with. I wish you could somewhat revert the nerf on her Q, because I feel like she needs some power back, especially in the top lane. I'm not saying you should bring her Q numbers like before, but smooth them out a little better, example:
- PRE-NERF: 80 / 85 / 90 / 95 / 100% AD
- LIVE: 40 / 55 / 70 / 85 / 100% AD
- PROPOSED CHANGE: 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100% AD
She will still keep her fantasy of a "mid game" champion, but at least her Q won't tickle early game. Another thing I'd like to see is her ultimate being "unstoppable", meaning it cannot be interrupted by any ability or cc, reason why:
- It has a fairly short range
- When interrupted, it hinders her stickiness by a lot and she's a champion who gets kited pretty easily already
- It doesn't fit thematically, a huge dragon being stopped by a random knockback is really underwhelming, especially as an ultimate
I know you're already buffing Bloodrazor on the PBE (so she just might get balanced around the item), but I just want to know what the plans are for Shyvana and if my suggestions are reasonable.
