Shyvana Rework Proposal

I believe that Shyvana sits in an odd place right now, among the champions. She used to be a feared and fierce top laner, but Riot has pushed her into a high farming jungle meta, but not rewarding her kit in any other way. She is easily kited, has no significant crowd control, and her passive is thematically lack luster and temperamentally under powered in comparison to other champions; Let alone other champions with similar passives for stacking armor and/or magic resistance. Dragons are fierce, magical, predators. Given their razer sharp teeth and claws and their natural power for elemental attacks; With their natural affinities for magical properties, natural and physical appendage strengths and flight, Shyvana does not master any of these things. Her ultimate is called, 'Dragon's Descent', suggesting a trail blazing fire monsters descending upon their victims. Not! A dragon with wings, jumping over a wall and being kited away. She's pretty much Buzz Light year at this point and she is just falling with style. I also find it strange that when you do use her ultimate, it scales harder with ability power than it does physical damage. Would it be broken if it did scale with more physical damage? Perhaps. But given the fact that you have to fight for her ult, I'm sure they could tweak the amount of damage she is putting off, let alone the amount of time she has as a full dragon. I have some proposals, most are just within this rework. Remember, all numbers can be tweaked to make it not broken. (So don't say, "That's too much! Broken, won't work!") Because there is always a way to tweak things. That isn't a helpful response into the champion's development. Simply adding large resource costs and scaled damage with a long cool down can make something 'fair by the community. Which I would imagine she would have most of those things with these proposals.

I believe we should increase her character base size. Only a little bit for Shyvana herself, given the fact that she is a dragon warrior and seems smaller than a lot of normal humanoid characters. But her dragon form alone needs to be almost as big as Cho'gath with max stacks on his feast ability.

Fury of the Dragon born Passive: Updated As Shyvana gains fury, her fury will begin to create a small flame shield around her. This flame shield will deal a small amount of magical damage to all enemy units surrounding her, over time. The more fury she gains, the more damage they will take from the swirling flames. When she is at full fury, she will be able to transform into a full sized dragon with a large flame shield around her that will rapidly decay, as well as her dragon form, while she fights and especially if she cannot fight. (So this part is unchanged, except for the flame shield. I want the shield because I feel like her passive gaining armor and magic resistance from dragon kills is temperamental at best and even maximized, is still weak compared to other champions. She is all about how long she can stay in the fray, so maximize her flame themes and keep the ball rolling, sort of thing.)

Twin Bite Q: Activate: Updated Shyvana will strike twice on her next attack, (Unchanged) and will reduce that target's armor by a small amount for a short duration. (Added but could be removed. No thoughts on her old Twin Bite passive saying that auto attacks reduce its cool down.)

Dragon Form: Updated: Shyvana will instead, bite her next attack and will deal a large amount of attack damage equal to her target's missing health. While she deals this attack, the attack will deal damage to all nearby enemy units in a small cone radius. (Ability was changed into a bite for theme, as well as the damage changes. The cone has stayed the same.)

Feel the Heat W: Passive: Updated Enemy champions dealt damage by Shyvana's over time effects will begin to suffer rapid movement speed reduction over time. (Added minor crowd control and will work with her passive, her W active, and her new ultimate.)

Activate: Stationary Channel: Updated: Drains a portion of Shyvana's health to use this ability

Shyvana becomes stationary but is able to change direction during this channel. She will begin to fire flames from her hands that deal physical damage to all enemy units hit; Increased damage over time for the longer you are hit, naturally. Possibly giving that enemy champion Grievous Wounds.

**Dragon form: Updated Activate: Channel: Drains health and rapid fury Shyvana gains increased range in Dragon form during this ability. **

She will use her dragon breath to launch a continuous wave of fire energy towards a target location, dealing physical and magical damage to all enemy units hit. Enemy champions are set Ablaze for a short duration. If Shyvana focuses her flame breath on one incoming enemy champion, she will begin to knock them back and disrupt their movement.

Draconic Intimidation E: Activate: Updated: Shyvana will roar in an AOE radius around her location, reducing all enemy units magic resistance by a small amount.

Dragon Form: Shyvana will fear all nearby enemy units around her and reduce their magic resistance greatly for a short duration.

Dragon form R: Activate: Updated: At 100 Fury

Shyvana jumps into the air and will be able to barrage a linear area with a flame attack from above. She will then be able to return to the ground in an AOE radius as a full dragon, altering her current abilities.

This flame barrage will deal physical and magical damage to all enemy units within it and will set enemy champions Ablaze for a short duration.

Ablaze - They will take magical damage over time for a small percentage of their health pool(s). _ Example of ability: Hit ultimate, your screen will zoom out like Jhin ult. You will gain the ability to place two parallel lines in a linear skill shot fashion in a target area where Shyvana just was; Like an Ornn ult. Once you place it, Shyvana will fly back on screen and deliver a large flame breath in that area, dealing the respective effects to all units. Once that is over, a large AOE radius where she just was will appear, like Elise's 'Repel ability. You will click on a target location where you want Shyvana to land, and she will, transformed into a full dragon._
