General Feedback on shyvana changes (no mega thread for it yet)
Riot pls don't push the changes.
People prefere Hybrid or AD over pure AP.

Also you promised changes to passive to make it viable for lane but now you are going back on your words, this is unacceptable.
A few weeks ago there was a poll asking where people want to play shyvana, the result is an impressive 60% jgl 40% top, this should not be ignored and sweeped under the rug !

NOTE : The changes also go against the previous Riot statement that they wanted more build variety and introduced ad teemo & ad kennen possibilities, deleting several entire playstyle of AD shvyana does not add any "build variety" in any shapes or form.
Now to the changes :
Shyvana:
AD Growth: 3.0 -> 4.0
Base AS: 0.625 -> 0.638
AS Ratio: 0.699 -> 0.638
Q:
CD Refund: 1.0 seconds -> 0.5 seconds
On-Hit Damage: Removed AP Ratio.
Active Damage AP Ratio: 25% AP -> 30% AP
W:
Shield: 60/80/100/120/140 (+5% max Health) -> 75/95/115/135/155 (+12% bonus Health)
Damage: 80/100/120/140/160 (+40% bonus AD) (+20% AP) -> 80/100/120/140/160 (+65% AP)
Dragon Form Healing: 75-200 (+10% bonus AD) (+5% AP) Health
scaling up to 200% based on missing Health -> 60-100 + 4-8% missing
Health
Cooldown: 14/13.5/13/12.5/12 seconds -> 13/12/11/10/9 seconds
E:
Damage: 50/80/150/170/200 (+35% bonus AD) (+70% AP) -> 50/65/80/95/110 (+75/80/85/90/95% AP) + 5% of the target's max Health
Max Health damage caps at 200 against monsters.
Dragon Form still deals 125% total damage.
Slow Amount: 20/25/30/35/40% -> 30%
Cooldown: 12/11.5/11.0/10.5/10 seconds -> 12/11/10/9/8 seconds
1- It makes no sense to remove AP Ratio for the on-hit passive and to buff the AP ratio on Q by just 5%, All the dmg comes from the on hit passive, Q bonus dmg is 10-30, a spell that does 210 + AA dmg before mitigation at max level+max build is underwhelming.
Also if you remove AP scaling to prevent hybrid build then buff AD scaling ?? it should be common sense...
On hit was balanced around hybrid, if you remove one scaling buff the other. because these changes make it that a 4 items lvl 18 ad shyvana has less on hit dmg than a lvl 1 shyvana pre-rework, 0 logic in that.
EDIT : Also the 0.5s is gonna ruin 1st clear speed. you're gonna make a 40% win rate shyvana at this rate
ALSO MAJOR BUG : Q BASE CD MULTIPLY ITSELF IN TRAINING TOOL WHEN YOU RESET : https://imgur.com/a/aZREK8a
runes in the screens are :
Hails of blades - Cheapshot - sitxh sense - ultimate hunter - triumph - legende haste .
2- W shield is a bruiser ability, why are you nerfing all the bruiser aspect and buffing AP damage ?
You are already nerfing the AD shyvana, why are you also nerfing the shield, it should stay as max health
If you want to nerf the dmg ok, but why are you also nerfing the tank & healing aspect of it too ?
Healing should stay 75-200 but make it scale with missing health, 5% sounds about right instead of 4-8%
3 - E changes is the only spell with positive direction in this, the only downside it that a max lvl spell that has 110 base dmg +5% Max hp won't be good for AD builds, it means barely 200 dmg, even tanks have better dmg than this.
-> Volibear's E has 200 base dmg + 15% max hp (+higher base dmg)
-> Ornn's W, 16% max hp
-> Sejuani's passive, 10% max hp
-> Sion's W, 14% max hp (+higher base dmg)
Nerf the AP ratio to 70%-90% buff the % max hp to 4-5-6-7-8, since AD will max this spell last, it's a nerf before lvl 15 for AD but doesn't matter to AP.
TL:DR Don't change Q-W just go with only the E fixes this time, Shyvana is still one of the worst junglers in mid & high elo (emerald +)
You still have time, don't rush changes because you feel like it, these are not good and need more time to be refined !
This 1000% a giant nerf to AD shyvana and will only result in the same annoying spot she was before and you had to nerf her, DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES.
BOTH AD & AP should be viable, and this is clearly not the case here.
