Hey I've seen some people play Shyvana mid. Is that just troll or does she do well there? What roles should she be filling?

Well anyone can do well against anyone in any lane if they're skilled enough and it's a decent match-up (like taking a bruiser instead of a mage against Zed, for instance).

If you know why the meta is like it is at the time (it changes), then you know how to work around it. Shyvanna, IIRC, has some poke and melee, and her ult is a decent gap closer. She pokes you down, then charges in and locks you up. I haven't seen it, but maybe it could work.

Yesterday, my mid afk'd after first death (classic) so I had to go midlane as Vi against Vel'Koz five minutes in. I ended the game at 20/9/4, and most of those deaths weren't in lane... :/ So it's possible to break the meta, but only if you know what you're doing and why.
