why cant you just fix shyvana?

Shyvana has always been a problem because she doesnt have enough utility as a champion. Every time she is worth picking its because she clears the jungle fast, gets ahead and does lots of damage. She then either does too much damage for her tankyness or doesnt do any damage and is pretty much a walking minion.

My proposed fix would be to simply make her ultimate actually do what it says it does, which is carry the people shes in flight with, and make it so you can carry allies too so you can drag em over a wall to safety.

'But that would be op' -riot

Really? So being able to move a bunch of targets in one direction after getting in melee range of them is broken yet gragas ult, which does that from RANGE isn't broken? Not to mention gragas already has an aoe knockup dash ability tacked on as well as that ult.

The problem with shyv has always been that her ult is so damn underwhelming her dmg/clear have to be beyond broken in order to make up for it. And its kind of sad that this fix still hasnt come yet. Ultimates should be awesome, and feel good when you use them well. A good ult for shyv right now is literally just using it to ult away from your enemies after stealing a camp and thats pretty pathetic.

You can nerf shyvs damage after her ult fix but im telling you this would make the champion far more healthy, fun and rewarding to play in my opinion.

She's a diving fighter. If they do that group next I'm pretty sure she'll be looked at.

this... makes sense! Diving fighters either snowball out of control and win games by themeselves or disapear at 30min mark. Lee, shyvana, xin zhao, nocturne, ... all of these apply for the group. Can you thinks of more champions that we can add to it?

Riot said they were releasing a list with the classifications in the future. No I don't know when that is but I'm excited for that list^^ I think its any champ that once it gets on your squishies you say 'o crap'. In my head the list is roughly Diana Ekko Elise Evelynn Hecarim Irelia JarvanIV Jax LeeSin Nocturne Olaf Pantheon Renekton Rengar Riven Shyvana Tryndamere Udyr Vi Volibear MonkeyKing XinZhao Zac I'm probably missing a few though that 'could' fit here.

olaf and udyr are more "counter-bruisers" and "frontline breakers" than diving fighters

Play adc and have one dive and kill you, then come back to me on that.[slayer-pantheon-popcorn] jk. I know what you're saying though, but since champs can go in more that one category I just put everyone that 'could' here. I saw no harm in listing them...

if they do a diving fighter update, and shyvanas ultimate isnt rectified ill be salty. Right now it moves people 150 units max, but flies so much further than that, so if you want to use it when you already melee range it doesnt even look like shes flying. Sad on so many levels
