Shyvana passive update

Éthreal··4 votes·3,476 views

Hi guys, Shyvana's passive is very weak and very situational. Most likely weak due to the fact it is situational, however - Situational passives based on a team based, objective grab, should be stronger given the circumstances. For those who don't know her passive, Shyvana deals 10% more damage to dragons. Whenever she or her allies slay a dragon, she gains 5 armor and MR. In a lot of games I play, people don't focus a whole lot of dragons unless I'm jungling. Lets say we get 4. That's 20 armor for the whole game? If you're going to do a situational, dragon passive, Shyvana should have something like, "Whenever a dragon is slain by Shyvana or her allies, Shyvana becomes empowered for a short amount of time." Possibly doubling the current dragon effects on her for a short time, increase in size, that sort of thing. Give her a Dragon Queen Shyvana legendary skin which changes and grows and changes color whenever a dragon is slain. Allow her to fly to the dragon pit whenever an ally is attacking it. Something Riot, please!

Would like to point out she is the only champion that ult cool down stops when she's dead.

I'm not following O.o Is there a cooldown when she goes dragon form? I figured the rage bar was enough

Her rage is technically the cool down for her ult, but when your dead you don't get the rage.

She is my most fav champ at low-level early game... Mannn I get hot just thinking about it. Naughty is my second for early game as well.

iah it does feel very unerwhelming and super basic. you deal more damage to dragons and you get 5 bonus armor/mr..... thats it. it does seem very super basic and underwhelming, and 30 armor (i believe the max possible amount of drakes you can get is 6 before elder, theoretically anyways) is not even much at all. so it would be nice to have a better passive iah

Most I've ever gotten was 5. And the point is, if you're in the position to get 5 drakes, the game's won without that 25 armor/mr already anyway. I.e. Shyvana effectively does not have a usable passive.

basically yeah. and i actually have gotten 6..well...before the jungle exp change anyways. i just basically did a basic clear got lvl 3 purchased a daggar and took dragon immediatly, and then take the remainder of the 5 dragons as soon as they pop up bringing you to 6 drakes. i have done it.

But yeah either way it is in fact a rather little offered passive to be totally honest. it would be cool if her passive was her ult, like gnar, she fills up fury by AAing, and at 100 stacks do something like gnar or whatever, and make her ultimate an actual ultimate, maybe like fly up into the air and jut do a large AOE fire sweep (kinda like rumbles ult, but it just doesnt stay). it could bring her into top lane maybe but...i dunno. her passive just feels weak..

thats what i was thinking as well, was being able to bring her back to the top lane successfully

it could be a cool idea tbh. and that'd be so awesome to just have shyvana jump into the sky and just have a giant flame just fall down onto the ground lol

completely how I feel. Olaf's ult passive gives him more armor and MR and quicker than shyvana's character passive. the idea is cool i suppose, but it should be stronger. like 20 armor and mr per dragon or something.

I agree. Her passive should be rewarding for objective control. At least 20 armor/MR per dragon killed but, ideally, 30/dragon. (And I'd have the buff only be rewarded if she takes part into killing it, like Mordekaiser- or maybe even only when killing it herself, like chogath's R - so she doesnt get a buff for sitting in top lane). Simples as that: lets talk statitics: how many times a team takes more than 3 dragons in a game? It's usually 2-3 dragons per match, if so. Specially depending on the RNG regards what dragons will spawn. Most people dont bother with ocean and cloud drake, so if she's willing to try and take those, she should be better rewarded for taking that risk. And those numbers dont seem absurd at all, because, honestly, what's 40-60/60-90 armor in late game when everyone's got tons of penetration, lethality, %HP based-damage, etc?

I completely agree. Im not sure why Riot only gives her 5 armor and MR per dragon.
