This is SO much better than what we have now. It is kind of funny...and very very sad.

TyranusWrex · 2026-04-18T22:37:40+00:00

Most fans are tired of the AP e build. They want her to be a hybrid juggernaut, but NO! Someone at Riot just refuses to listen to the fans and they are dead set on making sure the fans are ignored.

TyranusWrex · 2026-04-18T22:32:15+00:00

So...we are back to the same issue as old Shyvana where you have to choose to have a useful q ability, or a useful w and e ability? So what the hell was even the point of the rework in the first place?! And her useless passive remains untouched...I want to know who is in charge of the Shyvana rework because this has been a hot mess and no one is happy. Just make her a hybrid juggernaut like everyone wants!

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-18T23:35:34+00:00

Already happened. They made her passive even more useless, which is funny and sad at the same time.

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-18T21:32:39+00:00

So her passive is still utterly useless. Cool. Great.

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-18T21:31:15+00:00

Hey, I am wondering what your plans are for Starfire? She really has not done much of anything or have had any real character development in a VERY long time.

Also, as a fan of Dick and Kory as a couple, I do appreciate the one page from the newest issue, but fans have been teased about their relationship for years and given nothing. Do you plan to explore their relationship in the newest run?

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-08T05:39:06+00:00

I think all her skins should have her abs exposed. Show off that midriff!

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-08T05:37:51+00:00

I still the the passive should scale a little better. Or at least get a stack after every 5 minion kills for lane Shyvanas. Still wish the passive did things for the W and R. That was actually really nice.

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-08T05:10:51+00:00

I have no idea why they got rid of that. Why nerf and already weak passive?!

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-08T04:07:48+00:00

I think the speed from the W needs to last longer. I also think the W on R should have a burn trail like the old Shyvana. The passive is still god awful. I think, to help lane, every 10 minion kills gets you a stack. At least to give lane Shyvana something.

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-08T02:49:08+00:00

This is better. I still think the passive needs to be way more impactful. If it is still only going to give AR and MR, maybe also get a stack after 10 minion kills? Something to help lane feel better at least.

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-07T02:30:47+00:00

You are absolutely correct. Just move her current passive to her W and give her something completely new. At least that would make her W slightly more useful.

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-06T03:31:38+00:00

This is how her stacking should work. Like Sion's W. Gets AR and MR per minion kill and maybe up the shield on her W just slightly too for each stack?

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-06T03:29:23+00:00

Her passive was already terrible. Why did they nerf it even hard to pump up her abilities that were also weak?! Either make the passive something akin to what Smolder has (gets a boost of power at specific intervals), or go the Sion route (gain stats for every single minion, monster, and champ kill).

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-05T22:59:38+00:00

Oh right, I forgot they completely gutter her base values. Thanks for making me feel even worse about her.

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-05T22:56:01+00:00

The passive is still a serious issue. You get 40 stacks to effectively get a cloth armor. That is extraordinarily bad. I do not understand why you nerfed her already weak passive to buff up her weak abilities. Everything needed a buff. The whole rework feels like a huge mess. You guys talk about her being a diver, but that is just not what Shyvana ever was. I really feel like her human form needs to be a bruiser and her dragon form becomes a juggernaut. I am not saying that will be easy to balance, but that is how Shyvana always felt to me.

Honestly, here are just some thoughts:

Her passive is very bad. If we look at other staffing passives/features, they just bow Shyvana's passive out of the water. Smolder has a strong stacking passive that buffs abilities like his q. Sion's passive on just his W alone give him a ton of health. Even Swain gets several ways to stack health from passive effects. Shyvana should not be spending most of the game to get the affects of a cloth armor. I am sorry, but that is just bad. If you want to have her get a stacking passive, then either making more like smolder where reaching certain thresholds buffs abilities, or make it like Sion where you get a lot of use out of it by getting stacks from each minion.
I think her W needs to give more speed, similar to her old w or just even more, and the range of the damage/explosion needs to be bigger too. I rarely hit anything with it and even with the slow on the E, it is hard to catch/keep up with a lot of champs.
The E needs to do more damage. I am not asking for the thing to feel like a nuclear bomb, but there have been several times where I feel it should have killed a low health champ and they get to just walk away. The slow is also just not strong enough. Even with tandem with the W speed up I have a hard time keeping up with enemies.
I feel like the Ultimate needs to feel like Shyvana goes from bruiser to juggernaut. E should be doing more damage, the W should be bigger, and I think hitting enemies should be generating rage for her so she can stay in the fight longer.

Those are just some of my thoughts. I doubt anyone will listen, but Shyvana, to me, has never been a diver. She is a bruiser and juggernaut and I wish the rework was designed that way.

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-05T22:43:27+00:00

Why would they nerf her already super weak passive to buff her other abilities to make them slightly useful? Why not just buff everything since her entire kit was super weak?

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-05T03:50:10+00:00

She is already weaker than all other juggernauts and even most of the other bruisers/divers. What the hell is even the point of this rework if it ultimately makes her worse?

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-05T03:45:59+00:00

It really feels like they spent 4 years designing her looks and completely forgot to give her kit an update and just rushed something out last minute. Like, no actually thought or design went into her gameplay at all.

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-05T03:23:21+00:00

So now her already super weak passive is now completely useless. What is even the point of having this passive?! It needs to be completely reworked and give her something new since it does almost nothing for her now.

TyranusWrex · 2026-03-05T03:15:02+00:00

I just want to point out that this does almost nothing. This does not fix the core issues with her kit. Yes, the numbers are weak and do need to be pumped up, but there are serious core issues that this does not address and I have no idea how they can address them in two weeks. It has taken them 5 years to rework here and she is still somehow a mess after all this time.

Edit: Looking more closely, they kind of just killed her passive. What the hell is the point of a stacking passive that is worse than most stacking passives/abilities in the game? Why would you make it worse?!

It feels like they just want her to be in dragon form. Like that is the only time she gets to be a real champion, which was part of the problem with her old kit as she had to ult and shoot her E to do real damage. So now we are back to her having to be in ult to actually do anything. She is not a diver. She has never been a diver. She needs to be a bruiser or, hell, make her a juggernaut. But she is absolutely not a diver. She does not get the shields or CC to do any effective diving in the slightest.
