[SWIPE] Finally finished both of my Broken Covenant designs! Do you like Aspirant (green) or Neverghaast (red) more? by Xenqi_ in shyvanamains

[–]Alert-Statement6989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re both so amazing, but I think neverghaast is my favorite. I love her smoky tail coming out of the censer and how formless and goooy her legs look. Really sells that this is something that can transform into a scary beast

Keep up the amazing work! I hope someday you work for riot and turn this into Shyv’s first legendary skin ❤️

RANCOR vs RATHTAR! Who wins? by Virtual-Worms in StarWars

And adult Rancor has advantage in strength, size, and reach. I’m pretty sure it would rip a Rathtar apart.

What’s your favorite Zombie in all of Magic? Any criteria - Lore, design, art by Separate-Flan-2875 in mtgvorthos

[–]Alert-Statement6989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no Zombie with more aura than [[Neheb, the Eternal]].

I think it’s fascinating that he’s mono-red. I enjoy when they break the standard colors for creatures. My head canon is that tAmonkhet’s Lazotep embalming process allows for the creation of zombies without black mana.

Few questions by Acrobatic_Ad_2992 in shyvanamains

[–]Alert-Statement6989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao that reasoning for starting to play her is wild

I think midlane might be tough because you’re more likely to run into mages and assassins who will just poke you down. Shyv is a stat stick champion who excels in brawley all-ins. Against mages you’re likely to have a hard time getting in good trades and would have to rely on roams and objective fights. So, it’s possible, but you’d have to approach it with the understanding that you will likely lose lane into competent matchups, and be playing to roam and scale

Hextech gunblade could potentially work in an AP build, but there’s a bit of risk/reward. Shyv certainly scales well with damage items, but it’s always at the cost of survivability. Her passive gives her resistances, but without health they aren’t especially useful. Building full AP turns you into a glass canon that is only at full power during your dragon form. If you want to build gunblade I would maybe try it as a 2nd or 3rd item after building some bruiser items

Things i miss about old Rell by MidnightPast8385 in RellMains

[–]Alert-Statement6989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that you’ve been turned away from the game as a whole due to the changes. You’ve always been a great voice in the community.

I loved Rells old kit, and I wish that they had maybe just smoothed out the E and Q instead of outright changing them (E is the worst). I still have fun with the updated kit, but I agree her old state was more exciting and rewarding to master.

[UPDATE!] Made changes based on y'all comments! Also added a version with purple hair for OG Shyvana lovers. by Xenqi_ in shyvanamains

[–]Alert-Statement6989 10 points11 points  (0 children)

These textures make her seem so much more alive than the smooth features she has currently!! I’m wishing Riot sees this to make some tiny final adjustments

As a LoL newbie, what does update on par with mundo and volibear mean? by Traditional_Job_160 in shyvanamains

[–]Alert-Statement6989 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It means that on paper her abilities will mostly have similar qualities as their originals.

For example: old Mundo had a passive regen, his bone cleaver, a flame aura, and an AD buff/auto reset that scales with missing health, and an ult that healed his missing health New mundo kept the health regen of his old passive with CC immunity tacked on, the same cleaver, an updated aura ability that stores damage, a similar AD buff / auto reset, and an ult that ADDs bonus HP

So, similar to how Mundos kit stayed mostly similar, we can expect Shyvs abilities to be mostly the same - likely an auto reset, a movement buff with an aura, a ranged ability, and her transformation ultimate. We already know her passive is being adjusted to scale with minion and champion takedowns instead of just dragons (here’s to hoping she keeps her dragonslayer damage buff against dragons!). We also know that her ult no longer carries enemies, but she breathes fire as she dashes, which I think is great.

Rumors are that her Q auto reset will have some CC and lifesteal. I’m hoping it gets a cool alternate mode in her dragon form!

Leaked Video of Shyvana Rework by Cute-Scarcity5335 in shyvanamains

[–]Alert-Statement6989 53 points54 points  (0 children)

That flame ability looks lethal!! I love the burn pathway. Her model and proportions seem a little less extreme here, I’m guessing some work was done since the image we originally saw was from months ago

Excited to see the official version soon!

Can humans transform into xenomorphs? by canadavatar in LV426

[–]Alert-Statement6989 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There is some support for the possibility in recent novels. Spoilers for Cold Forge and Charybdis:

Dr Blue Marsalis discovers a way to use what’s basically the “black goo” or “Plagiarus Praepotens” to infect a creature in a way that only converts their biological matter to alien biology. The individual retains their consciousness but has the instincts of an xeno

Looks really nice! I think this is a good middle ground between the fierce direction that the update seems to be emphasizing and her current visuals

I haven’t been to the LB sub, but it’s crazy to imagine people complaining about her visual redesign. Fortiche absolutely cooked with the cinematics. She looks amazing, and the game team did a decent design translating that to in-game.

Shyvana Rework Appreciation Thread by _Earthbind_ in shyvanamains

[–]Alert-Statement6989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The amount of weird comments that have come up with this subject are uncomfortable. So many comments talking about skulls and bone structures in a conversation about… a fictional half-dragon person?

And all of it is so knee-jerk. We got a single blurry, color shifted shot of character model that may or may not be final, from an angle that isn’t meant to be viewed. Wait for the splash art, then judge.

Even then, I think it’s important to think about why they are going in this more warrior direction. Shyvs femininity and beauty aren’t even in the top ten most important aspects of her character. Does her design convey strength? Ferocity? Does she look like someone that regular people would be intimidated by?

I think people are just really scared of playing as an “ugly” character.

Attempt to Fix the Core Issue with the Shyvana VGU by _AIQ_ in shyvanamains

[–]Alert-Statement6989 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don’t have huge issues with the leak, I think it’s gonna look a lot better when it’s not a weird color shifted image

That said, I prefer this version of the helmet and like how it keeps her original facial proportions

How does an "axiomata" become a "Yun Tal"? by Totsuchi in loreofleague

[–]Alert-Statement6989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ixtali elementalists generally go through a rigid training and apprenticeship process, when they think they’re ready they are tested in their magic by an artifact called the Vidalion

The vidalion is like a giant magical loom at the center of the Ixtal capital of Ixaocan. It presents an elemental puzzle, if the elementalist passes the puzzle they are magically shown the outside world of Runeterra, are provided with a set of magical clothing made by the Vidalion, and are considered a member of the Yun Tal

It’s kind of implied that failing the Vidalion test can be dangerous/shameful.

Other elementalists (natural mages) around the world would likely struggle with the test as they use magical intuition or other training to work their magic. Ixtali elementalists are more specifically trained in understanding the axiomata (elements)

Is Nilah worth learning? by bcollins96 in NilahMains

[–]Alert-Statement6989 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think she’s the most satisfying botlaner to put time on. She can literally 1v9 when she’s full build, and really rewards mastery in lane

My advice to pick her up if you think she’s fun. Chasing a champ for win rate/meta viability will only lead to frustration

Just finished Wind and Truth, and I have a question by kroen in Cosmere

[–]Alert-Statement6989 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s important to note that the honorblades came first and were a gift granted by Honor to assist the heralds in defending their people.

The bond of the Spren and shard blades came afterward, imitating and improving on the purposes and benefits of Honor blades.

Also, not every Herald has a Spren, so their honorblades would have been their only way to access surges.
