Funny how before these PBE testings showed up even in text, i was thinking of a new jungler champion, specifically a tankie one so i'm not stuck with vanilla master yi which is a squishie zerg type of jungler, Udyr & Warrick are in the same state, royally screwed in terms of gap closing (san's warricks ultm but that's the only thing keeping him slightly workable, emphasis on SLIGHTLY), with both of them just just following a cho'cho train auto attack spam style to wrek stuff, being ruined by good old slow and CC that everyone wants to run in the form of kit or itemization, that or just being even more ungodly mobile with deadman's plate, luden's echo, etc.
With lastly though she's a squishie, i still consider
the best Jungler period, For any kind of champion who can innately build low damage, focus on utility from items first and melt tanks with ease is best to be the slayer of tanks and show assassins how you really do it, not just using a yolo jump ability but show'm a good surprise and shoot'm down to where they either run back to base or die before they get under the tower. Not to mention she can still mix tankie items like
combined with
and be literally impossible to escape from with simple running and still do her job swell.
Never the less, i was definitely in need of a good 'tankie' jungler and you can't say Shyvana is not one of those great picks for swooping in and starting a party by burning everyone alive with her W, smack some tanks or just priority down quite a few health pegs with her current E+auto attack max hp % kill combo and throwing in Q for extra double hits to keep the fun going strong. :3
Shame i was kinda having trouble deciding if i wanna pick her up because the assassin update made Rengar apparently really strong (which also as a resourceless AD type of champion makes him a prime candidate for items like
and
to melt thru even tankie targets, chase them down pretty easily especially when you stack his ultimate on it and do a big old damage boom hit to help out (which if i recall his leap would proc it too?).
