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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
