Rework Shyvana already!

She gets bodied at everything she's supposed to be good at. She's so easy to counter jungle and invade despite her supposedly "fast clear". Her objective control is atrocious without CC, Mobility, or anything that allows her to get out of a bad situation. She becomes useless when it's time for team fights as she constantly has to find things to hit in order to get her ult back up while everyone else get's there's back with plenty of CDR to spare.

Shyvana is squishy, even when built tank.

Shyvana's AP build might be bursty but it's invalidated by any sort of Magic Resist or Spell Shield.

Her viable runes are used better by so many other champions; Conqueror takes too long to build up, Grasp doesn't scale fast enough to be worth it, Press the Attack would be awesome if you could catch any body, Dark Harvest is a meme for AP build, and using something like Aftershock is out of the question despite how much it would help if your W procc'd it.

Her itemization is all over the place and she excels in no area of play. Fix this Riot.

SHUSH! I'm enjoying her. Don't beg to hasten her ruination.

Keep your paws off of Shyvana, please.

Very few champions use Conqueror better than Shyvana does. She procs Phase Rush easier than anybody, I think.

Challenger Shyvana tells me that Shyv can be played with all of the keystones that you mentioned, PLUS PHASE RUSH and HAIL OF BLADES and LETHAL TEMPO and GLACIAL AUGMENT (and probably Kaleidomancy) through Grandmaster.

I asked his opinion showing him my build for Glacial Augement Shyvana - BoRK, Gunblade, Randuins, RG, Twin Shadows. He liked it and said this build could be played even in Grandmaster (except in Korea).

Sorry that you're frustrated. I'm having a lot of fun with her recent buffs. Considering the stress on JG objectives in Season 10, Shyvana is huge. Support your team.

you know your champ is bad when the only viable strat is full ap.

What I love about Shyvanna is that she's the only stat-check that's actually fair to play against. She's simple yet she has counters. Unlike fucking Tryndamere and Mundo. However, you could argue that she is only fair to play against only because she isn't that consistent in the meta.

I love her diversity, she can build just about every jungle enchantment viably in the game. I do however agree with you and in China she's the most voted champion due for a rework.

I once learned about a champion that turns into a dragon. I am a huge fan of the Breath of Fire series, so that got me to try League. Many years later I had mostly given up on Shyvana, but I have been having great success and fun with full AP. I have to whole heartedly agree though... having one spell that is your absolute everything for CONSISTANT damage can be painful til you get item 3115. I really wish they would make the Ult leap AD and make the burnout ap, makes more sense too.

They can't rework 50 champions at once bub. You gotta wait like everyone else
