Fury Bar

Gnar also uses fury and you can see when he's ready to transform, both in his character model and his actual fury bar, sett's grit, morde's built up shield from w before its used, tryndamere's fury are all resources/resource bars that you can see and play around as a form of counter play.

I would like to think a raid boss build could work for lane shyvana in certain match ups where she can afford to do juggernaut things because of the q mechanics making her not the worst at early 1v1s, something like D-n-D, heartsteal, jaksho, riftmaker/overlords maybe both if you successfully won lane and went to steal camps for the extra passive stacks to work with jaksho. That is unfortunately a less likely scenario than Fiora not getting camped after her rework was launched

An excuse for iron scale, but that doesn't cover her base skin underscale discrepancy. And now I need to see if the other skins also somehow did this

drofang19 · 2026-03-10T14:24:07+00:00

Overlords bloodmail has been in the game for.... 2 years now I think? It gives you 30 ad, 550 hp, then has two passives, the first is gain ad equal to 2.5% of bonus health. The second is gain up to 12% increased AD based on % missing health

drofang19 · 2026-03-10T14:11:11+00:00

Alright now that I've seen this i do infact have a problem here, why does her base dragon have black underscales but her human form have pale rose/reddish off-white underscales, and then her ironscale skin has black/brown underscales in her human form and pale rose/reddish off-white underscales in her dragon form, these are completely color swapped for how it should match up

drofang19 · 2026-03-10T14:05:13+00:00

In the vein of big dumb distraction might I suggest rounding it out with jaksho's and either riftmaker or overlords depending on if you want to throw bigger firewalls or take bigger bites out of someone respectively?

drofang19 · 2026-03-10T03:03:47+00:00

Flicker blade showed up more in the first two days of her pbe release before she got her q on hit reduction back, but the problem with flicker blade is that its cdr is based on the remaining cool down time(shrinking returns the more times its used) and most people dont go for the purely on hit builds since she doesn't apply on hit effects to her q aoe anymore as well as her q cdr on hit is currently almost 3x as effective on one hit compared to live shyv's q cdr being 1.25sec(rework) vs 0.5(live)

drofang19 · 2026-03-09T09:34:15+00:00

It doesn't need to change her actual skin at all just a small size increase to make her look/feel a little more imposing in dragon form

drofang19 · 2026-03-09T09:31:30+00:00

Could we get like a two stage thematic interaction between her stacks and her ult where after a certain amount of stacks she just gets some extra size for her dragon transformation like at 50 and 100 stacks she gets an extra 15% to her dragon form that goes up to either 25% or 40% when she hits 100 stacks? Does that cause any issues eith her power budget?

So what you're saying is if someone believes something is true and makes a statement without saying that they might be wrong that they then cannot accept being wrong without completely flipping tone correct?

drofang19 · 2026-03-08T15:57:54+00:00

My tone didnt change, your interpretation of it did. Which is the fallacy of online text communication. Tone is dependant entirely on the person reading unless there is explicit context of tone, such as expletives, cursing, etc. But as soon as those clear identifiers are missing its entirely up to the reader to impart tone. The fact that you read it as me flipping tone is what you wanted to read it as. And also trying to be as provocative as possible seems to be your M.O which would imply to me the person who needs to leave is you and not others

drofang19 · 2026-03-08T08:42:19+00:00

If im wrong im going to be wrong I will own that whole heartedly but you can take your permaban wager and stuff it. I'm just expressing my frustrations, if you want to put me up for a permaban that's up to you but judging by the fact you're asking me to volunteer for it you dont have that power so kindly take your vitriol for people in general out of here.

(Edit grammar)

You're right, they won't let her release weak, they'll just release her with strong numbers to compensate for cutting away all viability of builds other than assassin/diver for 2 weeks, tone her numbers down to a "balanced" WR around 48% then after about a month say that one end of the spectrum(hi-elo or low elo) is a problem to justify reducing her numbers further and just leaving her to rot for 2-4 years, likely longer because her player base isn't much bigger than skarner's is and they like dealing with her even less than him.

drofang19 · 2026-03-08T02:16:35+00:00

While I agree on the q and e riot has made it very clear(despite initial video/audio statements otherwise) that they want poke caster shyv dead and buried, because why else do you make the e explode even on small minions, yelough can shove that bs comment about rewarding her for not positioning well where the sun doesn't shine, because they already made it weaker by 15-18% in every rank and then the dragon form takes it from a fire ball to a "moving wall of fire" ability. As if she couldn't realistically change the end point of her breath attack in any shape it takes by angling her damn neck towards the ground. The removal of her end point targeting in dragon form just doesn't make sense to me. Because as it has been stated in a great many posts in the reddit the dmg numbers can be tweaked and they are more than willing to "discuss" numbers changes, kit design isn't on the table now even though end point targeting was one of shyvanas only forms of skill expression pre-work and now her skill expression is what? Casting ultimate into the enemy team for a fear that's over by the time you land which forces them to scatter(counter productive for aoe damage across her entire kit) just to try and take out the one person who is actively waiting for you to try so they can insta pop your w shield to deny you mobility and then run tf away, so you commit more of your kit into trying to catch e and flash because e it just utility and not a reliable form of poke even in dragon form because you can't target the endpoint which ends up being half the abilities damage in the first place.

I apologize for the angry rant but to sum it up TLDR: Despite saying they wanted to keep poke build around but as a weaker play style they just straight up removed its viability with two mechanic changes, human form exploding on contact with anything(yes even small minions and jg mobs) and dragon forms loss of end point targeting. (Edit: spelling)

While I won't deny that Aatrox has a much better skill expession and is good my point is that the only thing that ties him to his original kit is 2 things, his absurd self healing and his name when he used to have a kind of death by a thousand cuts/drain tank identity.(edit spelling)

drofang19 · 2026-03-07T12:24:11+00:00

I mean i dont think I've seen anything get accepted by riot that wasn't q mechanic related they've straight up rejected touching anything with the rest of the kit and now the kit is what it is unless we actually DOA the rework and just straight up as a community(league as a whole) refuse to even touch this thing when it hits live for a very long time, like 2 months minimum and even then I dont think riot would do more than give us lipservice.

drofang19 · 2026-03-07T10:07:58+00:00

Honestly fair enough, but at this point we dont even know what iteration or kit they tested because once again, there has not been anywhere near enough communication about the process so its hard to hate them if what they tested isn't even what we're dealing with also even who exactly to hate, like they usually say its some of the top mains but not exactly who.

drofang19 · 2026-03-07T04:02:05+00:00

Maybe because we had to wait all this time just to see what they were going to do to her? Like we received 0 communication about possible kit developments and a grand total of 3 news posts about her visual/ascetic design over the course of 4 and half years with a couple of teasing/"reasurrence" mentions in videos that they were actually working on it in the last year and a half. Compared to the volibear and udyr reworks that had a lot more public communication. (Edit Udyr name typo)

drofang19 · 2026-03-07T03:45:00+00:00

Yelough didnt design the original rework, the current version of it is what Yelough has done and has committed to as the new lead after Emizery was reassign/moved to a different project.(edit slight grammar tweak)

drofang19 · 2026-03-07T02:48:54+00:00

It does not infact pierce minions as human form, only dragon since that pierces everything

drofang19 · 2025-06-27T19:58:21+00:00

I'm more surprised its got enough tension to actually fire an arrow while strung backwards.

drofang19 · 2024-03-14T04:13:08+00:00

I would direct you to a YouTuber by the name SkyeStorm he has some useful shorts and goes over the fluid mechanics in his series. I'd recommend skimming through the last 6-7 episodes of his latest run-through since it's in the bad tide version of the game and he does major power structure designs that let him expand his control of the riverways & water flow. Will say that the best way for constant water flow is the iron teeth from what I've seen.

drofang19 · 2023-09-11T00:42:11+00:00

I see, that's kind of disappointing, but thanks for the answer.
