Heels are just awful for the type of character she is. She's a brickwall badass, not a strutting eyecandy. She's a violent vicious hateful brawler, and heels are just so out of place on Shyvana.
I mean if it was any other female champion besides Vi, I wouldn't mind but both Vi and Shyvana are female powerhouse characters, can we please get some big ass badass stomps?
Reposting my comment from your other thread here:
Honestly, I'd like for them to remove all high heels from the game. For example, Vayne is a mobile character, she shouldn't be wearing ankle-breakers. Leona is the Wrath of the Sun (TM) who dives into the enemy and whacks them with the power of the Sun, why would she be wearing things that interfere with her balance?
I think the legs are the part of the skin that needs worked on the most (if at all). The rest of the outfit is clad in bulky metal armor, which makes her look like the cool back line diving tank she is. But the legs are far less bulky than the rest of the outfit. They also pointlessly show off a small snipet of her thighs where almost the entire rest of her is armored. I feel these two differences hurt the overall theme of the skin. I think they could keep the look of dragon foot boots without making them thigh highs (perhaps full greaves?) or looking noticeably more thin than the rest of the outfit.

So basically you're saying the heels are only allowed to be worn by certain types of women? Or that heels in general make you perceive a woman in a certain way?
She's a brickwall badass, not a strutting eyecandy.
Dude they're shoes, they don't turn a woman from a brickwall badass to eye candy. That's not how heels work. If a badass woman wears heels, she literally looms over you as she becomes taller. In Vi's case she'll be tall enough to look down at you with a balled up fist and threaten you to tell her what you said again. Shyvana becomes this massive dragon, and when she's a human she's got the heels to prove she's still bigger than you.
Taller women can be very intimidating because guys never seem to want to be shorter than a woman.
can we please get some big ass badass stomps?
She [i]is[/i] wearing a pair of badass stomps. If a woman doesn't know how to wear her heels in an intimidating stompy way then she's just not badass to begin with. I wear heels almost everyday and I don't get treated like eye candy because of it. You assert your dominance the same way you would without heels.
Those are regular heels. Not sexy heels, actual dragon/animal heels. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
Like I said it really depends on the person. I can run the mile in my sneaker wedges faster than I can run a mile in my track shoes.
Kay you're 100% full of crap and lying. It's one thing voicing an opinion, but Lying is not ok. Do not lie to people, do not fib, do not say things that aren't true. I know for a fact that, that statement is completely false because wedges/heels literally break the human stride that allows us to run efficiently. Heels, especially wedges 100% restrict the actuation of the tendons involved in push off, meaning you'd be using only your calves with no mechanical advantage, you wouldn't even be able to run at 75% the speed of a full human stride because so much of what a makes our stride efficient is completely lost when a person wears heels.
Stop lying to people. You're not getting anything past an Anthropologist, I know the anatomy of not just one but the 5 human species that were critical to our Evolution.
Running on tip toe is normal, heels or not. Heels are not good warfare attire and never will be.
The point is, If you cut off the heels, she'd still stand like that. and seeing how one of my favorite girls in school complains that if you wear heels for a good hour then switch to boots or any flat-footed footwear, that you will be lost in balance for a while. not to mention, I feel that heels on championship Shyvana are quite necessary, as it also explains why and how she can stand on her tip-toes all the damn time
What the f? Seriously what the hell
She doesnt stand on her toes all the time. her original skins and class are all flat footed boots. No they are completely out of place. Man there's no physical possibility that someone would have better balance in heels, it's completely out of mode of human physiology.

Actually it's not normal at all to run on tip toes, it's extremely ineffecient and stressful. Normal human stride the heel of the foot contacts the ground first, then the rest of the foot follows down to the ball and then the toes planting onto the surface ground to grip. As the runner moves forward their Tendons are loaded with elastic energy and as the heel of the foot comes come up off the ground this energy is refunded into the runners stride and it forces the toes down into the ground where they grip and shove the runner forward. It's incredibly efficient and strong for long distance running.
High Heels break this pattern, a pattern that hominids have been running in for millions of years.

Well I believe we run on tip toe when sprinting, could be wrong. That's what I was told to do by my track coach.
But....combat stilettos are awesome. She can kick ass and look fab at the same time.

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM-you forgot LEONA tank heels.
I wholeheartedly agree. Also lol your name.
You people are seriously kidding me right? That is not a high heel...
