your stalkera fan of your work and I've been playing a lot withNow with those changes in the jungle, don't you think that was somewhat an indirectly great buff for a champion that take Dragons with ease such as Shyvana?
Either level 4 or level 5 for first drake seems good to me, Shyvana can do it at either level if she went back already (for example,
I have aimed to update the guide for Pre-Season 10 fully when the pre-season started on 20 November but there's probably parts that are still out-of-date, if you spot anything specific please do let me know. I also plan to update some of the videos shown, but need to find good current examples of Shyvana play - if anyone wants to suggest a good Shyvana video in comments, please do!
You can also back early - as soon as you have 350 gold - get a Hunter's Talisman and then you can stay healthy in the jungle for a long time.
The new Dragonborn passive:
- helps you in a game where you are doing well anyhow (it's possible to get 3 dragons at around levels 6, 11, 16 and now you take them faster - I've even managed to have 4 Elemental Dragons in one game)
- hurts you in a game where you are doing badly (for example lose first Dragon fight, or your bot lane is losing lane).
I don't understand why Riot would do that, as they call Shyvana a "high variance" champion anyhow...
E in Dragon form is stronger, but W is weaker. The E is especially strong if your team can CC a champion standing on the Scorched Earth circle (similar to Morgana's W).
I'm actually quite upset about the range reduction on Shyvana's ultimate, there was no need for that nerf and it reduces what Shyvana can do about being kited. Riot's logic (Shyvana's R range now matches Caitlyn's range) is just dumb, because a ranged champion shoots Shyvana while she is in flight.
I think you have to be more careful than ever with team composition now, basically Shyvana only works well where you have heavy CC on your team.
I agree with you on being careful with Team Comps now, you can't really just pick Shy with or into anything because there's a high chance you'll just get ****ed come Mid and Late Game.
I dunno though, I just really, really despise her new Passive haha
