Hello, all. I don't own nor do I play Shyvana. I've tried her multiple times, during her various free weeks, but... I don't know. She just bores me. But, seeing how relevant she's been in the past and how powerful she can be, I do want to play her. Anyone have any tips? What makes Shyvana mains feel strong and draconic? And how should you build/play her most effectively?
I'm still a relative noob when it comes to anything but Shy is my main for the most part. She is the only champ I have taken out of easy difficulty. When I play her, based on what I have read on some people, is you want to work on attack speed and movement. I see alot of builds use both 
and/or 
to this regard. Depending on who you are fighting against or how you play will depend on your build of course, but if you want to give her W a bit more oomf I would suggest either buying 
to give it a more AOED or 
so while you are running through the enemy hordes you can deal some extra damage from the stacks you build. If you do go Sunfire cape though, be carefuller of the towers, as you may damage an enemy who snuck into the ring without you noticing and whom you are not damaging without noticing. You can also take her in a different direction and build on AP. I would recommend taking her against a few robot teams in intro and beginner till you feel you got a winning combo that makes you feel all warm inside. I can say that when you reach level 8 and are bulldozing the towers and inhibitors. Or if your like me, nothing puts a pep into your step nearly as much as when you solo a dragon as Shay (usually around lvl 9 or more). Most players will tell you to go ahead and max out your W, but if your running botm lane or playing off of mid lane you may want to invest in your E for damage when they hide behind minions. Don't be afraid to use your W for a bit of movement speed boost as well. If you are trying to get from recall point back to your tower at top lane, you can typically fire off two or three of the W and still have it cool down in time to use when you get there. Hope even a little bit of this was of help for you!
