Shyvana has been utterly sidelined first with nerfs to her, then to her items and runes. she's still playable but only just and its ridiculous how you have to try so much harder to win games with her vs other junglers.

Option 1: Add lifesteal vs jg creatures. No impact on clear speed but would improve quality of life and give Shyvana more oppertunities to affect the map earlier in the game rather than forcing her to farm for the first 10 minutes every game.

Option 2: Add a .1 second stun to the Q. Wouldn't affect jg clear speed but would reduce damage taken early game and would give shyvana more opportunities to make plays early game.

Option 3: Buff her passive. from 5/10/15/20/25 to 5/15/30/50/75 total AR/MR on each elemental dragon. The current passive does not reward Shyvana enough for successfully taking dragons. If you manage to take all of the dragons you damn well deserve to be rewarded for it and it rarely happens unless its a stomp. But it still wouldn't be too outrageous with only 3 dragons taken which is really common in games. There are other champions like Veigar, Kindread, Nasus and Chogath who have infinity scaling abilities so why not give Shyvana something to compete with these op monsters.

how to buff shyvana

remove her bonus armor/MR for dragon kills, instead makei t give her additional dashes (like the intiital cast of her ult) for each dragon she gets

this means getting dragons lets her have burst mobility with more CC, but is less tanky

shyvana gets an additional jump om her ult for each dragon she kills however these bonus jumps deal 20% damage and have a 5/3/1 second CD per jump.

this gives her mobility, and CC rewards for getting dragons instead of raw stats.

it has counterplay from dragon control, she will be squishier, and the damage aspect is toned down and it scales with level as well so rushing 2 dragons before lvl 11 wont let her jump jump jump, she still has to wait on the CD based on R rank.

You absolute monster, Shyv with three dragons would have 225 armor and magic resist off her passive alone. Thats like, three thornmails and 4 Abyssal Mask's worth of resists. Tank Shyvanna would be ridiculously tanky with the same damage, and damage Shyvanna would shit on puny mortals while still being tanky

Does she need a buff? I thought her not getting played recently was due to the faster pace of games in general.

I know her playrate is low, but so is her banrate. It's very easy to get shyvana right now.
