imo being the dragon isn't THAT strong. the initiation is the real value in her ult
Except for a permanent armor boost, AoE Q and E, and W's trail all adding tons to her clear speed, wave pushing abilty, and teamfight damage.
Although yes, you could let it run down, have it back in like like 7 seconds and then ult again to gank something.
5 autoattacks to ult is stupid, and considering the drain rate and the facty Shyvana likes AS anyway, 20 per auto is
insane. That's 40 on Twin Bite. 60 on Auto+Q. Which alone would outpace the drain rate before you factor in other targets hit by Q.
And with her E being a conical attack that procs on every autoattack for extra damage too that's an extra 130 per target with Twin Bite [+0.3 AP]... well, thank goodness Hydra has that internal cooldown of 0.02 seconds on hitting different targets just for Shyvana, but Black Cleaver is still obscene with the shred in AoE
Honestly Shyvana dosen't need these changes. Wow, the meta isn't kind to her atm. Nor is it really kind to Jax or Irelia. Are they next to be overhauled and overbuffed in a stupid way? She's still not bad. Her winrate isn't low. She's one of the strongest junglers in teamfights due to all her AoE damage, durabilty, and havok she can cause with Mallet Q's and AoE Cleaver. Her clear speed is still stupid. Elder Lizard is a godsend item on her even with the mana regen [It's still more than cost effective without the regen, you just go Double Swords +Machette and skip the Spirit Stone]
At the same time they're buffing Eve... really? She's not weak either, she was fine atm! Finally somewhat balanced!
What's the point of changing Machette and Spirit Stone to Magic Damage Riot?
At least they're making Aatrox more interesting, making his QE cost less when he levels W, and deal more when he has W active. Now they just need to make W's bonuses scale with rank instead of being constant and it'll provoke some thought into his leveling.
Also Q has no cost at Rank 1. Yeeeeah, that seems silly.

Alistar can Pulverize while he is mid-Head Butt to do a fancy combo.
Lol.
