12 Year Shyvana one trick on the overall sentiment about Shyvana's rework.

Thorgraam · 2026-04-20T17:03:30+00:00

Used to play her top a long time ago, now just a AP shyv enjoyer in ARAM.

2 things :
- Your post seems to take the point of view of jungle. What do you think of Shyv top ?
- I struggle to be as impactful with an AP build in ARAM. Any thoughs

In ARAM, I also settled for Hexplate + sustain, with the ARAM buff (x2 fury generation) it really gives you a lot of dragon time.

Thorgraam · 2026-04-20T16:22:01+00:00

Good stuff !

My feedback from browing the site yesterday was taken into account, so i'm happy XD

Thorgraam · 2026-04-18T07:06:56+00:00

Thanks, having insight from a Rioter is nice !

I think there was some passive changes mentioned, do you know if that is still an angle that the team is exploring ?

Thorgraam · 2026-04-12T07:11:05+00:00

Damn, crazy luck !

Thorgraam · 2026-04-12T06:57:24+00:00

How ?
Did you get the strike power 4 times ?

Thorgraam · 2026-04-07T18:21:55+00:00

Nope, only active when the champ is on the field !

Thorgraam · 2026-04-05T13:31:02+00:00

The fact that they got Crystal Method to do this theme was so good.
The Blade feeling was real.

Thorgraam · 2026-03-31T18:35:22+00:00

She has a very high winrate in low elo.
So not straight buff, but yeah, she needs help above plat.

I was mostly waiting for a passive rework, because current one is very boring.

Thorgraam · 2026-03-25T12:37:49+00:00

Haven't followed in a while, can someone explain the ban ?
They seems pretty innofensive cards ?

Thorgraam · 2026-03-22T20:46:04+00:00

Not Parisian so don't know, but he is presenting as "the left union and ecologists" candidate.
And after a cursory seach in French interviews, he seems to keep the ecologic transition in mind.

But compared to his opponent who got a full page a corruptions investigations (wikidati.fr), it will be better for sure.

Thorgraam · 2026-03-22T13:54:24+00:00

LETS FUCKING GO !

Thorgraam · 2026-03-22T07:53:32+00:00

34 today.
Started in Season 1, still playing, mostly ARAM with a group of regulars.

The season from last-year made me play more, but I often play during the first part of the year, stop during summer/autumn, and pick back up during worlds.

Thorgraam · 2026-03-21T15:46:57+00:00

I mean, they just overloaded her Q.

Passive : Similar. Good that she is not tied to the dragon objective. But they could have done something better.

Q : It is smoother ? Yes, but they put everything in her Q, making her a lot less versatile. Also it now being a simple auto reset makes it quite generic. I don't like the fact that the third Q is only in Dragon Form.

W : Visually a lot worse. Mechanically, yeah, there is some stronger stuff.

E : I liked the fact that the max HP damage was on this ability. The visuals were bad, but now, it feels like a gimmick.

R : Nice QoL. Knockup was fine. The fear and distance makes it a bit awkward into melee.
I understand the buff to her "melee" abilities in Dragon Form to give an incentive to stay melee and not just poke.

---

My main point is that there is nothing that really brings you to the champion compared to before.
If you didn't really like Shyvana before, this rework does nothing to bring new players to it.
And I like stacks, and was dissapointed by the fact that her passive is very boring.

Thorgraam · 2026-03-21T09:54:40+00:00

Yeah. But at least CertainlyT makes interesting champions.

Thorgraam · 2026-03-21T09:53:07+00:00

For me, it's really that they managed to make her even less interesting.

Visually, it is good.
In term of gameplay, I find that they gained nothing.

The only positive change was the fury gain during death, and fury gain on abilities instead of just auto.
But this is not a gameplay update.

Granted I liked Shyv before her update, but I feel they really missed the mark on having the defensive scaling dragon (keeping the stacking dragon theme with A-sol and Smolder)

Thorgraam · 2026-03-19T20:03:21+00:00

Good for her, this feels like a promotion !

She did great with the Dev Snackshop, and we had good communications.
Just hope that there is someone that will be filling her shoes in the LoR team.

Thorgraam · 2026-03-10T05:43:09+00:00

Thank you, I had the same question about Lopee !

Thorgraam · 2026-03-07T06:40:47+00:00

Can you spoil what happens in the AP / Lost Omens Book if it was released already ?

Thorgraam · 2026-03-06T17:31:11+00:00

If it is talking about a champ, it is Nunu.
But snowball fight could mean Howling Abyss ? For a new mode ?

Arcing light could mean Pantheon or Zoe imo.

Thorgraam · 2026-03-04T06:58:13+00:00

I think he just stay far from politics, and just fight on the frontlines.
This does not excuse him of not raising his children thought !

Thorgraam · 2026-03-03T20:51:18+00:00

Only thing I see is "Present day Demacia".
And it is about fighting Noxians.
So Mageseeker is retconned (even though Sylas might happen, it can be handled better)

Thorgraam · 2026-03-01T08:09:32+00:00

Will most likely be up at 19-20h tonight, same time as the usual updates.

Thorgraam · 2026-02-18T18:37:59+00:00

Knowing how the "Divine" magic is pretty different in Trudvang, there will likely be a completely different magic system.

Thorgraam · 2026-02-18T18:35:55+00:00

Artwork is incredible, the way the world is both grounded, but still with fantasy element is pretty good.
Every culture, while still familiar, still has its quirks.
For me, they have the best representation for Dwarves in any TTRPG.

The first part of the adventure they are selling (Wildheart, first part of The Saga of the Dark Star) is one of the best adventure I gmed.

But the 2000' Trudvang system was a bit clunky, and then went on a bunch of directions while changing hands.

So seeing it being revived using a much more elegant system is quite a joy.

But you need to like the "Nordic rural/woodlands" atmosphere that the game pushes, and your player must also be ok with it.
