Shyvana, Demacia's Fury

Stormhawk23··1 votes·939 views

I have no idea how to start this so ill be brief. I'm not a Shyvana main. I've not played her much, but from what i have she feels okay. My main complaint is she doesn't feel like a powerful half dragon with the blood of the elements coursing through her veins. She feels like a mage who can transform into a dragon and gets really mad about it. So! This is how I'd change her.

Visually I would change a few things. First, I'd make her muscular, like Illaoi. If i was writing the lore I'd even make her taller than JarvanIV, but I'm not so moving on. She would start the game wearing only a chest plate and and leather pants and boots. I'd don't know if I'd keep her dragon head fist weapon things. They don't..... really do anything for her? If you have any ideas how you'd change or replace her fist weapons then I'd love to hear, but as it stands i have no clue. To me they're just a way to say "this person's a dragon" in a really lazy way. I'd give her large horns, as well as have her wings remain even in her human form. She would simply drape them over herself when not in combat, much like Throughout the game, she would armor for each dragon slain, in the order of pauldrons, leggings, greaves, helm, and then highlights matching her current dragon soul (bright orange for infernal, light green for ocean, dusty brown for mountain and silver for wind) She'd maintain her current deep red armor she currently has. As for her dragon form, i would continue to make it more muscular, make her feel like a powerful dragon fully unleashed, which was also my design philosophy for her new kit. I would also bring it in line with the elemental dragons we now have, giving her four legs and 2 wings instead of 2 wings and a two legs. Her scales would be red, with purple skin and highlights matching her armor. (I'm not an artist so while i would LOVE to show you, your imagination will have to do.)

I also want to make a brief disclaimer while that i do include some numbers, i am in no way claiming they are balanced or reasonable. They could be crazy overpowered, or crazy underpowered. Any and all constructive input is appreciated.

Her resource would remain rage in order for her to use her ultimate, which really doesn't affect much. Starting with her passive, it remains MOSTLY the same with some minor additions. She still gains stacking armor every time she kills a dragon. For those of you with a finer knowledge of stats, let me know if you would buff it from 5 or not. She would also gain 50 health from each dragon slain, capping out at 300. Finally, she gains an increase in the bonuses from the elemental dragons slain at about 1.25% of the power (maybe lower it to 1.2 or even 1.15% to account for dragons like mountain and ocean?)

Q, Twin Slash: Shyvana's next attack hits twice cleave enemies in front of her (Visually represented by a slash with both of her weapons) dealing 25/40/55/65 bonus physical damage. Dragon Form: This becomes Final Bite, increasing the size of the cleave and adding a final slam (Think Gnar w minus the stun and 3/4 the range) Cooldown: 9/8/7/6/5

W, Fury's Flame: Shyvana's rage ignites the area around her, dealing 45/70/100/135/175 Magic damage and granting her 30/35/40/45/50% movement speed for 2 seconds. Enemies hit are ignited taking minor fire damage (5/10/15/20/25) Magic damage per second. Enemies hit by Shyvana's take 2.5% of their max health + bonus magic damage Dragon Form: This becomes Dragon's Ire, causing Shyvana to passively pulse waves of fire (same damage as before) around her every 1 second. The radius is also increased by approx. 30-50% (?) Cooldown: 5 seconds

E, Vicious Leap: Shyvana leaps in a direction, dealing 50/70/95/110/130 physical to enemies caught at the end. (range equal to about a Ekko E.) Dragon Form: Becomes Scorched earth, doubling her dash distance and instead leaves a line of scorched earth, dealing 25/50/75/100/125 magic damage every 1 second to all enemies who stand in it. lasts 5 seconds Cooldown:12/10/8/6/5

R, Dragon's Accent: After Channeling for 1.5, Shyvana Transforms and takes off into the sky, revealing the area around the point of take off (about the size of 1500 units.) During this time she can land anywhere she has vision within 4500/5000/5500 units (Think Galio ult but a little longer range) dealing damage 300/450/600 magic damage (impact area is about the 3/4 the size of Galio ult). She can also choose to land at her fountain, refunding the cooldown of Dragon's accent by 25% and changing her back to human form, draining her rage. Cooldown: 175/160/145 Requires 100 rage

Like i said, if you looked at the numbers you'd probably find that my concept as it stands i widely overpowered/underpowered. But its a place to start, so ill be looking forward to constructive input! Also I'm aware that her rage has basically... no purpose now? But i wanted to preserve it, even a little.

I like the idea about how her LvL 3 ultimate CD jumps to 19 minutes after the LvL 2 ultimate CD with 2:30 minutes.

Oops, thanks for catching that!

Illaoi buff and taller than Jarvan..? Yeah no, one of her entire selling points is being a human/dragon. Being a big behemoth before even touching dragon form well...doesn't really sell that thematic.

I mean she already has purple, kinda scaly skin. As it stands she's just another League of Legends pretty girl, with the unique transforming action of turning into a giant fire breathing dragon. Now if being taller than Jarvan is too much then maybe the same height. But as it stands she's a human with purple skin that turns into a dragon when she gets really angry, with like 15-20 other girls she shares the same sort of base look with. I think making her powerfully build like Illoai would really sell her as part dragon.

I don't know about you, but Shyvanna is definitely not one of the "pretty girls".

Let's take a look at her art, shall we? Considering her model is a little old. Assuming they gave her a visual update until she could get her game play update to make her more like her art. Let's see, curvaceous figure, slender build, sharp nose, sharp chin, fair features all around. The eyes might be a bit intimidating, but you know the armor is decent. Now lets look at say leona. Lets see, curvaceous figure, slender build, sharp chin, maybe a bit rounder nose. Or maybe Katarina. Lets see, curvaceous figure, slender build, fair features, sharp nose, sharp chin. Fiora brings something a little different. more of a squarish chin and roundish nose. But still similar. Ahri? Yup. Hell, even SENNA. Sure she has the defining racial traits that we'd associate with a woman of color, but looks pretty similar. Zyra, similar, Irellia, similar. I maybe rubbing it in a little but I'm just trying to provide data. Here, let me even put some of their portraits here to show what i mean. Diana Fiora Ahri Evelynn Shyvana Take a look and tell me that they don't have the same basic design for their face an body.
