2019 Shyvana Rework Idea

Digione·6/4/2019, 5:15:22 PM·2 votes·2,124 views

Dear Riot Games and anyone in the community that would like to hear my thoughts on a Shyvana rework.

Personally, I think Shyvana is in a funky spot right now when it comes to meta champs specifically in the top lane and jungle. I do believe that she deserves a rework and so do many other players in the community.

Passive: Keep her passive the same when it comes to the dragon buffs, but add her Q to the passive. I'm thinking much like how Vayne's W works. On every third auto for Shyvana, it triggers what her Q does now. I can see how the damage output from that being her passive would have to just scale over time with leveling which i think is pretty fair.

Q: I believe her new Q should be her skillshot which is her E now. But maybe think of adding some type of CC to it seeing as though she lacks that very much being a Jungler.

W: When it comes to her W, i have no complaints on it. I do believe that its fine because it gives her movement speed while doing aoe damage which is pretty sweet.

E: Her E is the fun spot. I think it should maybe be changed to some type of dash/leap/dodge of some sort. This would add to her outplay potential, making her an even cooler champion. But I can understand how that maybe wouldn't be the original idea for her seeing as she's a half-dragon so maybe like a dash into a ground slam that can knock up enemy champs in a certain proximity with a fitting cooldown seeing as though the new Q would be CC as well. I'm thinking something like Galio's E.

R: Transforming into a dragon for the R is obviously still pretty dope. Her abilities would be enhanced but I think her W should add either lifesteal or maybe leaving a burn effect on enemy champs caught inside the aoe from the W for too long, making her an even more formidable threat while in Dragon form. Her E which is now her Q is the same while in dragon form, more range and more damage. Her new E while in her ultimate would not only knock up enemies in a certain proximity (this would be a slightly larger circle than from her regular E) but if she leaps through enemies, they are also knocked up as well.

~And these are my thoughts on a pretty cool rework for Shyvana. I really hope this makes it to Riot Games and they maybe consider it. If they do decide to just take a look at it, Thank you very much! And to the community, Play On!

She may get love after the other 2 being that she also was mentioned directly by RIot. It's very promising.

Passive: Keep her passive the same when it comes to the dragon buffs....

This needs to either be more powerful or a team-wide buff. Her current passive is far too weak for the effort that goes into it. And power she gets out of it.

but add her Q to the passive. I'm thinking much like how Vayne's W works. On every third auto for Shyvana, it triggers what her Q does now.

This is interesting. As it remains in the realm of "onhit"

Q:

I'm just going to comment on the new E instead if this is going to be the E.

W: When it comes to her W, i have no complaints on it.

If we are keeping Shyvana almost the same, then we need to remove the decay on the W and swap the ratio to total AD so that AP or On-hit Shyvana remain equal in power.

E: Her E is the fun spot. I think it should maybe be changed to some type of dash/leap/dodge of some sort....

If Shyvana was to gain mobility it should only be on her ultimate. I'd have to say no to mobility, since we don't need more of it. Shyvana is a Juggernaut not a Diver.

R:Her abilities would be enhanced but I think her W should add either lifesteal or maybe leaving a burn effect on enemy champs caught inside the aoe from the W for too long, making her an even more formidable threat while in Dragon form.

Personally I like Riots approach of NEW abilities and not empowered ones while in dragon form. Especially if that comes with CD resets. We need to pull Shyvana away from the stat check queen to more options.

Her E which is now her Q is the same while in dragon form, more range and more damage. Her new E while in her ultimate would not only knock up enemies in a certain proximity (this would be a slightly larger circle than from her regular E) but if she leaps through enemies, they are also knocked up as well.

This is where mobility is fine for me. If Shyvana is dashing forward knocking people to the sides, then this is fitting for a dragon.

My favorite iteration of her ulting is Aatrox old Q where he rose and then dashed down as she transforms knocking up enemies on impact. Galio ult would be the same animation but free cast. The AOE is no where near as large as Galios though.

I don't totally agree with you, her w is the less fun part of her kit imo, just something you press thatdoes some dmg around you for a bunch of time, this is more likely the kind of thing you wanna see in a passiv but mordekaiser already got it kinda^^ also it helps with jungling so balnce wize it's important. Then i don't really agree about q being removed as aa reset is a very simple and enjoyable mechanic that helps making champs feel more fluid. and it also helps out more bursty build as well while putting it on a passiv that trigger stuff twice means going on hit is kinda a must have maybe... i don't know but i don't see how it could suit her different builds well And shyv should have a dash other than her r, she is meant to be on of these juggernaut bruisers, they are great duelists but you can kite them, if you give her dashes she lose that identity. actually shyv is pretty simple mechanicly but have different builds that work very well will having very different gameplays, which is rare inLoL she is mainly a bruiser/ tank duelist but eventually an assassin, a poke mage or a on hit melee carry. some of these are worst than other but depending on the elo you can pull them off and actually have a lot of fun^^ i agree that her passiv is not fun tho
