Who even played Shyvana apart from Saint and I think Diamondprox played her a few times? Like she was never really played very often I don't think, I am not sure if she ever really was that good of a jungler.

There was a big Shyvana FotM on NA for a while after Saint and Diamond started winning with her. I remember TSM had Oddone play her a bunch of times even though he was absolutely god-awful at her, but they would insist on first-picking her because she was the big FotM at the time.

The problem I have is that I think the first goal I pointed out, it wasnt the way they wanted the champ played, is a bit TOO important with a lot of the balance changes that Riot makes.

Yes, Riot tends to over-philosophize about what they believe will be fun or un-fun for their players. I've said this for quite a long time.

Fuck them. I was original Dragonbitch lover.


Yeah, dragon bitch was best.

TD and a few others here (me <_<) loved Shy for a month or two before Shy became popular.

Her top is pretty good against champs who are mainly melee, since her dueling is pretty top notch. It's really hard to trade against her if you don't have a hard escape or poke to weaken her beforehand.

the more i tried to play shy the more i realized that her kit is pretty crappy. i don't feel tanky enough and i don't feel like i do enough damage. jungle clearing was cool but that was about it. ganks were terrible unless you took exhaust. you could counterjungle but that was probably it. even when i got fed i didn't feel that useful.

Shyvana would either win or lose the game by level 16. She was the jungle equivalent of Leblanc in that sense.

You either got enough resists and health to tank everything the enemy team threw at you in midgame fights and used that to snowball the game from there or you didnt and you likely lost. There was no middle ground.

Her free stats are really what helped her do this, but the differentiating factor between her and say Udyr who basically tried to do the same thing was that Udyr had to walk in and take free damage at the start while Shyv got her ulti to jump in.

Right now she isnt the only one who can do that thanks to the jungle changes enabling single target junglers like Xin, J4, and Vi to pace with her in terms of the items and stats you get, along with having the same benefit of being able to jump in.

At that point the distinction basically comes down to Shyv just not having enough CC to be able to compare to the rest of the current top teir jungles and not having the benefit of additional tank that she used too.

I mean, Hec and Shyv basically have a similar kit in terms of what they do in fights and how they clear the jungle, only Hec W does way more for him than her free stats do for her.

Top always felt like it made more sense to me than jungle, because her early-midgame farm demand is actually quite high, and she doesn't accomplish that much IN the jungle. Plus she's a manaless champ, and manaless automatically = good in lane right? (jk)

She was good at the beginning of S2 because the jungle was in a unique place where she straight-up had higher farming efficiency than everyone else, and that was good enough.

I could see her digging a Locket+BOTRK+Wits build from top lane.

Interesting thing would be if she could survive a 1v2 lane. Her E would help, but it would be a question of if she could use W without getting massacred.

I could actually see her doing well in a 1v2 lane with Hydra. Hard for enemy to shove into your tower when you can destroy the lane with an auto-QW combo. Plus regen and lifesteal rock with her free resists, ofc.

even though you were being sarcastic, that's 100% why she's a great top
no mana constraints = 1 less resource to manage
split damage type = no real way to itemize against her
double-auto reset + speed boost + dash = splitpushing monster
she still does really well against melee tops that don't have a ton of ranged harass

that being said, the most recent strong tops, rengar, elise, jayce, zed have all had really strong ranged harass, and the only one that didn't (darius) is just a straight-up better dueler than her

i bet shyvana could do well in s3 if there was an item that was a bit more suited to her. idk what that item would be but i feel like a lot of the new s3 items are underwhelming on her and the old s2 style of all-the-resists just isn't as good. maybe i'll toy around with her some

warmogs sunfire like everyone else but then wits end maybe
shyv is like a burst damage monster at level 16 and also has an aoe 15% armour debuff
and her W does more damage than you think since it can double proc if they sit in the dragon fire shit on the ground as well as the normal w damage i think

all my shyvana games where I raped were either top lane or jungle where i end up constantly farming top (mostly normalz tho but I do shit like trying to quadra 1v4 and sometimes succeed)

theres really no reason to jungle shyvana any more since the weird power farming/counterjungling niche is gone.

Unfortunately, you dont get a hydra at level 1.

She can stall pretty well with just W and picking off farm with E. Her speed boost makes her pretty hard to dive early levels unless you have chain hard CC.

Oh the other annoying thing is that the S3 item changes ruined Zeke's for her when in S2 it was like a 4-part combo of everything she wanted in jungle (Lifesteal for sustain, HP to complement her resists, CDR and attack speed being the most efficient combat stats for her due to her high ability base damage and synergy with her passive). The switch to it being AD-based and Vamp being more awkward to build make it less appealing, and the design of the jungle around Machete items is awkward for her because neither Razor nor Spirit are perfect for her.

I dunno. I feel she would REALLY like Liz elder since it would proc each time on her W, plus she likes AD.

But then we end up in a scenario where she doenst get the benefit of wriggles proc interactions with her Q

Finished Lizard Elder is nice, but it's really lopsided and the buildup sucks.

Wriggle's+Q was honestly overrated anyway. As an item, Wriggles' stats were actually way less sensible than Zekes' for similar cost.
