@Citriclol It's so sad how they handled Ult haste; instead of it just being an option to get your ult faster, they nerfed baseline fury gen to force us into building haste. Ironically, even at max level with 30 Ult haste, the fury gen is still less than pre-rework.

5 Shyvana Changes Riot MUST Implement: 1. Decouple human form and dragon form ability cooldown so she can actually be a champion in human form. 2: Remove the fury bar so she can actually benefit from bruiser items with ability haste properly. (And stop forcing ult haste on her) 3. Make Q3 an execute. 4. Let her throw fireball in flight during R. 5. Give her a real passive. (Making her a fast objective taker was actually interesting) None of the number manipulation matters until these changes are made. Make the changes and THEN tweak the numbers.

@RiotPhroxzon Shyvana needs a better passive, and Q should be like Riven, not Aatrox. You are also doing the same thing you did with AP Shyv when she came out, but with AD this time; The build path is there, but it's so nerfed that it's just not worth building. You shifted her from AD to AP...

Patch 26.9 Full Preview (Champions)! No changes to the items or systems changes, so just wanted to focus on Champions today. Ambessa - After being out for almost a year and a half, we've learnt a lot about Ambessa's power curves, strengths and weaknesses, good and bad matchups, etc. - One area we feel has slightly less counterplay than we think is long term healthy is Ambessa's ult warning - Given its long cast range, it often feels more missable (burden is on the caster) than dodgeable (counterplay for user) - We played around with several timings and think this timing strikes the best balance between dodgeability, requirement to combo CC and still satisfaction for the Ambessa player Shyvana - The goals of these changes are to increase differentiation between the AP and AD builds - Create satisfying incentives for Shyv players who want to be more of a durable Dragon, rather than a squishy burst champion - It's also been a common pain point that Shyv's shield is both easily popped and having the Movespeed tied to that makes her play pattern quite binary and unsatisfying in the moment, so we're making the Movespeed from W more consistent and available - In the AD build, we're looking to have the Q + W pattern be more supported, as she needs to stick onto targets more and be more durable (W cooldown should help here) - In this build, we're looking to balance the satisfaction of Q button presses and repeatedly attacking - We've also added more incentives for her Sheen synergies with Trinity Force in particular by buffing her AD growth - While she's lost a few incentives to build AD overall, we intend to support the AD Bruiser oriented build as best as we can - In the AP build, we're looking to create stronger incentives for E to be maxed and play around E + W - More of a fireball oriented in and out pattern - We'll continue to followup to ensure that Shyvana's tuning supports her builds as they play out Zeri - While Zeri has been statistically balanced in her more bursty form, especially across ranks, her satisfaction and identity have taken a hit - These changes are aimed at trading off some of her damage output to re-emphasize her speed outputs (some of the main reasons players play her) - Along with this are some feelsgood changes (like E refunding on attacks vs everything) - While we're increasing some of the speed on her ultimate, we'll keep an eye on the stack dropoff duration to ensure it strikes the right balance of fantasy fulfilment and balanceability Tahm Kench - We overnerfed Tahm Kench last patch; we intended to buff TK support overall and these buffs are more skewed there, though they will overall affect both roles Briar/Warwick - Briar is a bit too strong, especially in average play, where she is also building very squishy on first item (often Collector, etc.) - These changes are aimed at incentivizing her to build a bit more tanky - Warwick on the other hand has been languishing, especially in Average play where we'd expect him to succeed

@Shyvadi0 @RiotAugust Wild Rift Shyvana also exists if they are too lazy to come up with something original; at certain thresholds, your abilities get a boost. This could also help her problem of being kinda worthless outside of ult.

Hey @RiotAugust I know that these changes for Shyvana will boost AP again and may make her feel more like she used to, but I'd still like a more interesting passive. Perhaps scalemail stacks will grant her tenacity/armor/mr that she can pick like aphelios level ups?

@Spideraxe30 So we giga nerf AD just to nerf AP before it's even in live😭😭😭

Continued Shyvana changes: - E AP ratio reduced from 75-95% to 60-80% (70% flat live) - E subsequent damage reduced from 50% to 40%

@PabloMakes There were also A LOT of people asking for Voruna 4 changes news since you guys said it was at a stalemate, and they all got full-on ignored😭😭

Got asked on devshort why I don't think raids work on WF, so sharing my thoughts. tl;dr I don't believe you can have good raids without challenge. And you can't have challenge without balance changes. 1/10

@smokesthegiant Korra SHOULD win, but she's so aggressive and cocky that I'm convinced she'll find a way to lose; Azula can easily outsmart her.

Who do you think is winning in an all out battle between Azula and Korra??

@salmoona_ Magik is WAY better on console, people legit can't turn around and punish her for bad positioning/engages; unironically, she's a tier or two above what she is in PC.

What I'd imagine the marvel rivals meta looks like in console bronze

@diogoael Not really, AD Shyv is borderline dead. Thanks to Twinbites plus AD scaling on E, old Shyv could very well go AD, new Shyv not really.

eu não to acreditando que em 2 patches os caras saíram do discurso de: "fizemos uma nova shyvana hibrida - é muito melhor do que só fazer ap ou ad!" pra "toma de volta essa porra ai" e praticamente desfizeram o rework inteiro

@RedDragonVera I'm sorry, I'm kinda confused; Where is the 120% coming from? It says 75%-95% scaling with 50-110 base, or do you mean something else?

This means Q cd is going to background model, only explanation E tuning is absolutely fucking ludicrous and won't go live, expecting it to be blockable again, even then 120% on 8 seconds is VERY stupid This is very messy and we need to wait for monday for real picture

@I_iz_LuNadi @Citriclol That's why I said, "I hope I'm wrong". Still, killing AD doesn't seem like a smart thing to me, since it limits build diversity. They shifted her from an AD bruiser to an AP bruiser.

@VirtualYetti @Citriclol They also are making hybrid items and items with beneficial effects. We are looking at shyv changes through isolated stats and we haven't even played with the new changes yet. At least give it some time.

DING DING DING Good changes, on the spot Riot does not miss.

@Shyvadi0 Like last time when they said they would buff Top Shyvana if she was weak? Oh, wait, they never buffed her, did they?

why does everyone think she's dead, these changes are good overall. Just bad for ad, which is sad but august already told me that they will buff ad if it's bad.

@RiotAugust She's too binary; she literally can only go all in, then she either dies or gets a kill. There is nearly 0 skill expression; she's a win-more hero: if you are winning, you are going to win harder; if you are losing, there is nothing you can do. She needs a better neutral.

The team has been working on some Shyvana changes for 16.9. They should be showing up on the PBE soon.

@RiotAugust Can we do something about her ult? She literally can't do anything without it. For instance, you could let us ult without full fury, but remove Q3 true damage unless we have 90+ fury when we ult. Also, you could let us end the ult early to maintain ~33% of the remaining fury.

@RiotAugust Didn't you want to give her a more interesting passive? Like, Wild Rift Shyvana is right there if you can't think of anything original.

@Waifu_diff Azula not being in the movie was a crime

Katara Toph Ty Lee Azula sfw

@RiotPhroxzon Really hope the future Shyvana changes are good, being that they are taking quite a bit to come out. She really needs help in higher elos, too easy to kite and abuse due to her lack of mobility, pair that with her new Q doing way less dmg, she lost her main carry ability.

@mmmmmmmmiller They didn't give her a team-up with Peter?!

‼️ NEW TEAM-UP ABILITY: CAPTAIN AMERICA + BLACK CAT For a brief period after Captain America activates Black Cat's Fortune, the radius of his shield is expanded, and its projectile deflections gain pinpoint accuracy. #MarvelRivals #BlackCat

@rebbford Break that Voruna exalted stalemate, Reb. I need to see my queen in her full glory; her 4 being a subsume slot that requires an augment just to be usable is not normal nor healthy.
