Shyvana Rework Concept

With the recent update list given out, I figured I'd play around with those champions and see what I could come up with. Below I more or less just went with some of the stereotypical dragon things you see in movies, but I did aim to differentiate Shyvana's base form from her dragon form by making her dragon form more of a disruption tool in exchange for the raw dueling power granted by her base form. I also tried to change her passive to make each dragon more interesting and to reward her for contesting unique dragons, even if her team is not the one who slays it.

Fury of the Dragonborn

Whenever an elemental drake is slain, if Shyvana dealt damage to it within the past 5 seconds and is within 1000 range of its death, she is imbued with that dragon's essence. For each type of dragon essence Shyvana has absorbed, she gains 5 bonus armor and 5 bonus magic resistance as well as a special bonus based on the the type of essence absorbed.

Cloud : Dragon's Descent gains 100 bonus range. Infernal : Increases the damage dealt by Flame Jet by 25%. Mountain : Tail Whip grants Shyvana 20% damage reduction for 3 seconds. Ocean : When Shyvana damages an enemy champion with Entrapping Bite, she heals herself for 8% of her missing health.

NOTE: These effects do not stack with this iteration, but that would be another balance lever that could be added. NOTE 2: I think that in modes without Drakes, Shyvana could just have access to all of these things innately.

Entrapping Bite (Q) –

Shyvana instantly roots the target enemy champion for 0.5 seconds, during which she reaches out and bites them, dealing 25 / 55 / 75 (+100 / 110 / 120% AD) physical damage and applying on-hit effects. She then tosses that enemy up in the air for 1 second, pulling them up to 125 units closer to herself in the process.

RANGE: 200 / 225 / 250

Tail Whip (W) –

Shyvana swipes her tail in an arc in the target direction, dealing 50 / 90 / 130 (+70% bonus AD) (+10% bonus health) physical damage and briefly knocking back enemies and stunning them for 0.5 seconds.

Flame Jet (E) –

Shyvana channels for up to 2 seconds, unleashing a torrent of flame in the target direction. Enemies caught in the flames are dealt 30 / 40 / 50 (+5% bonus AD) (+10% AP) magic damage every 0.25 seconds and are lit on fire, taking an additional 10 / 12.5 / 15 (+2.5% bonus AD) (+5% AP) every 0.5 seconds for 3 seconds. The burn duration refreshes each time an enemy takes damage from the stream of fire.

Dragonform Ideas

Shyvana gains an additional 0.3% movement speed per 1% bonus attack speed while in dragon form.

While in dragon form, Shyvana's body radiates immense heat, dealing 10 / 15 / 20 (+3% bonus health) (+10% AP) magic damage to nearby enemies every second.
