As a top lane shyvana main (62k mastery points) and the champion i used to grind out the 1-30. she is very special to me and im very scared that i wont be able to play her in the top lane ever again. i started playing league right at the end of S4. right when i reached lvl 30 s5 started so i wasnt around when shyvana was the top lane god. i was around when she was balanced and fun to use. after she got some buffs and long story short, became pick or ban in the jg. shes has been getting nerfed massivly. now people like me who play shyvana top cant really do that anymore. i havnt used shyvana in over a month because she just gets dominated in lane now adays. shes not tanky enough to beat malphite/naught. and she doesnt put out enough damage to beat riven/irelia...ext. shes stuck to the point wheres shes just flat out useless in the top lane. and now theses nerfs are making it so i absolutely can not play her any more in the top lane. she must be a jgler to overcome her very weak early game. and because she cant get devourer in the top lane she will do very little damage compared the other top laners around. i feel like shyv will need a compensation buff to her E. that way it doesnt effect jg shyvanna in anyway, but it will massively help her top lane dueling power. not the E passive but the scaling in her E. this could help her with poke, farming, ext. or we could help out her ult a bit. when using it its clunky, doesnt hit right, doesnt feel right. i dont want her to be over the top broken like how she was in the jg, but i still wanna be able to call shyvana top viable. THANKS!

As someone who has a passing interest in Shyvana I say her hope is tucked away in the Juggernaut update/ rework they said they were gonna give her.

But who knows if that's still happening.

I really like Shyvana in the top lane as well. It's a shame she was demoted to jungle rank. I feel that if they were to make her a juggernaut of some sort she'd be amazing to play.
