Shyvanna is a NICE fucking champion. A+ no. S+ for design

Shyvanna is the most frustrating champion in the game right now absolutely. honest to god. and I don't believe in god. frustrating experience against this champion in ~Platinum Elo. just absolutely infuriating an Unhealthy to the absolute maximum playstyle that this champion has diseased summoner rift with ever since she was buffed few months ago.

not only she is by far the tankiest DPS champion in the game. and HELL. shes a juggernaut. how many juggernauts do DPS. with 1 damage item. 0. who are the juggernauts

Juggernauts

Nasus Darius Mordekaiser Illaoi Trundle Olaf Garen Shyvana Udyr Dr. Mundo Volibear Yorick

Lets see here.

ONLY ONE. of these champions has a gapcloser. and yes. its obviously shyvannas ulti. Now. thats fine and all. when you don't consider the fact that combined with her Mashing all her buttons. and her R. she is absolutely going to wreack hell in AOE mixed damage. she doesn't just do damage. she does damage that squishies and bruisers CANNOT itemize against. she does mixed damage. she does too much mixed damage. she Does both DPS from magic and sustained PHYSICAL damage.

Ok. so if you're a jungle main. you know which champions farm the fastest. Udyr Mundo Kayn and Shyvanna. lets ignore the Kayn because he is item dependant damage dealer

Mundo and Udyr ARE atrocious early game. Mundo falls low. Udyr is mana hungry. Shyvanna has neither of these issues. Neither. Udyr is SPECIFICALLY a single target damage dealing champion that has a Movement speed buff WORSE than shyvanna's NEARLY 100% uptime W. and her absolutely ungodly high base movement speed. FOR A JUGGERNAUT. she has the highest base MS out of all juggernauts. and she is the only one with a gapcloser

Now. you will say well "She has no cc" and she does not. but when your a jungler you have access to red. and at the same time. HER FIGHTS don't last long. she bursts people at every single point of the game. she is not master yi. master yi for example. DOES pathetic damage without items. she will outdamage him at every point unless he has MORE damage items in both sustained and DPS damage.

Now .all of this above. can be completely fine and justified. the unitemizeable damage profile. the only juggernaut with a gapcloser. the near 100% uptime movement speed buff. the insane AOE damage that has a high uptime.. this all could be fine if it wasnt for her tankiness

first off. stupid passive. boring and hidden. but very effective. she can solo drake at 4. because why not. and practically solo it every time its up unless multiple team mates go to see beause quite frankly nobody can solo her that early into the game

Statistically. she dies the least of any jungler that builds any sort of damage items. this is a direct indication to 1. either her safety. and two. her tankiness. considering shes melee with 1 gapcloser or escape. its probably the latter

well shyvanna has the 15th highest Base hp in the game with 2210. and she is the ONLY one out of any of those to have the ability to FURTHER increase the HP. because what would you know. lets just chuck an extra 150-350 health to her ultimate because a knockback. aoe damage. Increase auto attack range and increase damage on abilities is TOTALLY not enough for one of the lowest ult cooldowns in the game that practically is how long it takes her to clear one side of the jungle.

She has high mixed damage to fuck both Tanks with % hp . and squishies with high base AD damage scaling on her Q and an obscenely high and large AOE magic damage W. which I will never really understand

I think shes losing some 3 ad or something laughable on the PBE like that thats practically worthless. but this champion is the most unhealthy thing I have ever seen since. no wait. I never seen anything this tanky that can do this much burst and DPS. ever. since season 4. tanky juggernauts always did either some dps (usually needed items) or time to scale. nasus for example. or Udyr. Udyr needs more than 1 damage item often 3-4 to actually do shyvanna level of damage.

You have to decide between DPS and tankiness. you can't be a tanky DPS. mundo levels of dps. cool. he has a shitty attack speed and mostly tied to landing a SKILLSHOT. not a beast tank-y juggernaut that autos your face with 1.5+ attack speed and an AA reset while having more effective health than a volibear.

she doesn't get to do what every other champion in the game doesn't. SHE EITHER buys DPS items like TRIFORCE and (other items) to do this kind of damage you know. just like Jax or irelia or a lot of other bruisers that build it. OR. build tanky with 1 or no damage items just like EVERY other juggernaut and do SITUATIONAL burst damage. you can't do Burst. Mixed damage. and DPS. while being TANKY as fuck like this

** TLDR: Shyvanna is just an overbearing Mix of tankiness/dps/burst/mixed damage and stupid-proof because she has next to no mechanically possible way of failing an auto attack farming champion that is good to go from level 1.**

this is as thorough as I can get. she is by far the most frustrating thing to play against. no matter what role you are. she is practically immune to assassins. if you're an adc main. well you will not outrun her. unless you're vayen. jungler? well. don't play that role at all because she is gonna clear both her sides and take your other side before you're done warding lanes

shes too failsafe
