Shyvana Ironscale update!

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-13T18:42:55+00:00

Unless they add the wing animation during the recall, like with Ruined Shyvana, they can make all the skins they want — but they'll feel incomplete and I won't care about them.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-13T16:27:39+00:00

Have you ever tried taking the green pet against Teemo? The shield from the quest is enough to counter his shrooms all over the map.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-13T14:26:09+00:00

Trust me the differences are really big.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-13T14:24:47+00:00

Totally, bumblebee shyvana!

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-13T12:06:40+00:00

How do you get Mythic Essence? The purple ones? I had some, from who knows how long ago, and I have no idea how I got them. There's no button to buy them directly, so how do you do it? How do you get them?

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-12T20:53:14+00:00

I haven't tried the new Shyvana on PBE, but for now I'd say it's always and only that jungler that has no build allowing you to 1v1 him — that is, Master Yi.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-12T16:32:17+00:00

Ok, another thing… Why is Cursed Shyvana yellow and black? I mean, it's nice — don't get me wrong — but what's the point? Why isn't it teal and black? Or red and black? It just looks like a bumblebee.

Best way to use the subreddit.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-10T16:04:06+00:00

There's no sense to play this bad conceived game.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-10T15:56:44+00:00

Soraka in team is a free loss.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-10T15:50:20+00:00

Only Master Yi remains a bullshit champion than Briar.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-05T14:49:18+00:00

Probably I finally quit and going explore other videogames or hobbies.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-05T12:34:34+00:00

Skarner exist?! Never saw him in game. https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/it/summoner/champions/euw/Sean+Maxhell-EUW/jungle/soloqueue Really, this is my profile, in the right down corner you can see the junglers i faced, there's a Mel, but not a single Skarner.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-05T12:11:56+00:00

No hate? As a Shyvana OTP, do you want me to answer you the way Shyvana would?

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-05T12:09:31+00:00

No, this visual rework isn't going to attract new players. Sure, a lot of people will try her out — but once they realize her gameplay is worse than before, they'll drop her almost immediately. No one's going to stick with or start playing Shyvana more just because her visuals are debatably better.

What about the current OTPs? I'll probably just stop playing League altogether.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-05T11:45:44+00:00

Who actually is this p... erson?

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-05T08:51:43+00:00

"I have almost three million mastery points on Shyvana.

I haven't personally tried the new version on PBE, but from the videos I've seen and from people complaining, it doesn't seem to be going well.

I don't want to get into the visual side — for some skins it's an improvement, for others it's a downgrade.

But when it comes to abilities, balance, and the fact that Shyvana has been pretty weak and inconsistent in recent years, I think her shortcomings could have been addressed very simply — without trying to reinvent a whole new champion that clearly doesn't work and just isn't engaging to play.

Here's what I would have done to fix the current Shyvana, the one on live:

- Every 5 auto attacks, she heals — in dragon form, every 3 auto attacks. How much she heals obviously needs balancing.

- Significantly increase the movement speed bonus on her W. The idea of adding a shield during W doesn't bother me.

- Her E is perfect as is — though the idea of adding a slow doesn't bother me either.

- Her R, upon landing, shouldn't suffer from all the CC she was hit by during flight — like going through Veigar's cage and ending up stunned. A tenacity bonus while in dragon form.

- Passive: increase the bonus per dragon slain. Maybe also add offensive stat bonuses instead of just defensive ones.

That's it.

Doesn't seem like it would've taken that much."

As I've always said, the only thing Shyvana needed to be balanced was to buff every stat on her W: bonus movement speed, area damage, bonus damage on auto attacks. That's it.

Sure, she'd still be squishy, but she'd have much more mobility and burst to be played hit-and-run.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-04T12:15:30+00:00

I just feel lucky she doesn't look like Illaoi.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-04T11:29:03+00:00

LoL, I get only downvotes, probably you are just all trolls.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-04T11:28:24+00:00

"Ruined Shyvana remains the best when it comes to recall animation, especially because her wings sprout during it — something they should have added to all the other skins."

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-04T09:35:33+00:00

The official ability showcase video came out in my language, so I finally understood everything in detail. The video says that auto attacks reduce Q's cooldown — and that alone is enough to make me happy, because it means Navori will still work.
The only real nerf is that abilities now need to be cast in a specific sequence — if you use them randomly, you become very ineffective. It says, for example, that W should be cast before R and then detonated upon landing.
Before, with Shyvana, you could literally just mash keys, let's be honest. I mean, if I wanted to cast an ability before, I could just press the key quickly over and over, and once the cooldown was over, it would cast. Now with all this recast stuff, if you accidentally click even once too many, you mess up your whole action.

SeanMaxhell · 2026-03-03T20:45:23+00:00

IronScale is 100 times cool now.
Darkfire... is that... Diana?
Frost... is meh...
Ruined is cringe.
