This is my Shyvana Guide. I would appreciate any feedback that you guys have.
Shyvana is a great champion, and is alot of fun - because you can deal burst damage and use your Ult Dragon's Descent To control fights.
Her abilities/passive work well together and allow for some attack speed items and decent jungling. Although in this guide i will focus in on her laning power.

- Q
This ability is your main damage dealing ability it makes your next attack hit twice. this ability works well with "on hit" effects such as Wit's End. the oooldown of this ability is reduced on every auto attack, so it benefits greatly from AS items. In dragon form this ability has a Cleave affect and hits all enemy's in a cone, use this in dragon form on multiple opponents to keep the duration up.
-W
Shyvana deals magic damage per second to nearby enemies and her Movement Speed is greatly increased for 3 seconds, Movement speed decreases over the duration.
I prioritise this ability the most for the farming capabilities, and you can constantly use the ability without cost dealing aoe damage and giving movement speed for catching up to opponents, in dragon form the ability leaves a trail of fire behind you, Acting like Singed with his Poison Trail.
-E
Shyvana unleashes a fireball that deals magic damage and melts the target's Armor for 4 seconds. I always max this ability last because it doesn't scale on AD, but getting it at level 3 is good because it apply's a armor debuff to whatever it hits, should be used first in a fight. In dragon form this skill hits all targets in a cone and applying the same debuff.
-R
Active: Shyvana transforms into a dragon and takes flight to a target location. Enemies along her path take magic damage and are knocked toward her target location.
Passive: Shyvana reinforces her scales, increasing her Armor and Magic Resist. Defensive bonuses are doubled in Dragon Form.
This ability is great, Not only is it a long jump skill, but it also pulls your target along with you and gives all your abilities additional effects. It can be used to pull opponents through walls for a easy gank and is great dps.

All of your fights against enemy champions are setup with 1 basic combo.
+ +
Burnout closes the gap between you and your target, Flame breath removes armor and twin bite hits them hard and gets them low. If necessary use Ignite if you think they might get away.
If dragon form is up, Use Burnout to get in front of your target and then activate your ult and pull them away from any turrets or ally's, then proceed with the combo above.

Runes
Why I chose these runes
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist - Early Magic resist helps you to stay in your lane longer.
Greater Seal of Armor - Early Armor boost helps you to stay in your lane longer.
Greater Mark of Attack Speed - Fury of the Dragonborn Benefits from Attack speed.
I take Burnout at level 1 and max it first for the farming and chasing power it gives.
Then i take Twin Bite at level 2 for damage and max it second
I then get Flame Breath at level 3 and max it last for the Armor reduction.
And make sure to get Dragon's Descent at level 6,11 and 16.
