Tryndamere [heimerdinger]] Jayce there's a lot of counters. Either some sort of ranged harass or out dpsing/ sustaining her sustained magic damage. she's not a burster, she's still going to take like 20 seconds trying to kill your adc if the adc can kite.

Remember, Shyvana is not hard to peel, nor does she have any cc. Your only worry should be her Burnout in a tf by stopping her from auto attacking. I'm not saying pile your hard cc onto her, I'm saying just don't let her auto then BEAT THE **** OUT OF HER.

Basically how I play LoL

I just use Nasus and Rengar and it seems to work.

Olaf is really irritating to play against as Shyvana, I can confirm this fact.

Olaf is irritating to play against any melee champion really, from Poppy to Yorick.

But yeah, Olaf is really good against her.

well, I feel like I suck at top lane, so I wasn't just gonna say Olaf counters Shyvana after one game where he was annoying as **** to lane against. Which is what I get for first picking her because three other people on my team called support. xD

Nothing with mana.
Shyvana can and will outlast any champ that uses mana.


She gets totally bullied by Jax, though. I don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet, since I didn't read all the thread, but Jax is a pretty typical soloq counter to Shyvana.

Other than that, both Renekton and Dr. Mundo hold their own, though Dr. Mundo might have to take it up the *** a bit until he completes Spirit Visage to become unkillable like Shyvana does.

Jax gets **** on during the early-game and Shyvana is really good at snowballing that.

Really? From what I've seen, it's the opposite. As long as Jax weathers past level 1 and perhaps 2, Shyvana gets bullied quite hard. Other than a literal kill in those levels, there's very little in the first two levels for Shyvana to snowball an advantage.

Counter Strike is easily avoidable and Burnout still chunks you even if you use it. Jax's early-game (level 1-5/1-7) is really weak compared to most bruisers and Shyvana can abuse that.

Hm... well, that sounds plausible. Which makes it strange, since Jax is the third most popular pick into Shyvana after Renekton and Riven.

Edit: On another topic, I just noticed that Moon advocated Nidalee as a theoretical parody for Zed. I took the liberty to look this up just now and noticed that Nidalee actually wins 51% of the games against Shyvana at Diamond. Might not indicate much, but it was just something interesting.

Other successful champs include Riven, Dr. Mundo, Renekton and (strangely enough) Wukong.

I beat a Shyvana as Lee Sin a few days ago, must mean it's a counter amirite

...In all seriousness though, I would personally use Elise. Olaf and Teemo should win, too.
