-E Mark dependence
-Gameplay lack depth(a bit) / Elo Skewed
-Difference between dragon and human -> Perma dragon form or human and dragon closer
-Too Squishy
-A Bit too Selfish Champ (Doesn't help the team much) -> Tankier (Frontline), CC



---------------------###Lore/Thematic :
-Survival in the Wild
-Parents
-Discrimination (mageseeker) / 2 worlds
-Love (J4)

-----------------------------###Rework General Rules :

---###Global :
-Good PVE (Waves, JGL camps, Towers)
-Full crit/AP Shyv Should ~Work
-The Kit Should ~Work By Spamming every Buttons
-MU to consider : Karma, Gragas, Trundle, Olaf, Darius
-AD Shyv = 66% AP 33% AD, AP Shyv = 90% AP 10% AD

---###Kit :
-Shyvana Doesn't need a big cd ult as her big moments can be on mega AOE Setups
-Skills needs to mix(On hit/Attack Speed) with (SpellCaster) Gameplay (Spells boost AA and AA Boost Spells) (~Orianna)
-Most Skills should Be a AA Boost or Work While AAing
-Keep W Spam MS

--##Possibilitys in Kit :
--##Stats :
-Slow Resist /+ Tenacity
-Increased Healing
-Reduce % Armor + RM
-Attack Speed
-Resitances +/ Health

--##CC :
-Slow
-Stun
-Silence
-Bump
-Moving units
-AS reduction
-Terrain

---###Items :
-Tiamat Items
-Sheen/Spellblade
-On hit
-AP Burn

---###Pitch :
Shyvana is a half dragon PVE oriented champion,
Her Gameplan is to out tempo the opponents to take objectives and a gold lead to take advantage of
Her Core gameplay which is creating additional targets that deal single target damage to strikes with her AOE abilities.
She is a High movement speed on hit champion supported by caster skills and with a precious dash on her ult.
Overall a champion with an infinite scaling few CC, weak PVP early and a lot of power potential.


-------------------------------###Base Stats :
-Keep High base Stats (350 MS)
-150 AA range (Reduce Dragon's form AA Range buff)



----------------------------###Trash can :
-#Delayed Explosion On Hit :
-AP Damage
-Cauterizing wounds : Healing on Explosions if Shyvana is close
-If Explosion is created on top of another the first one explode







-------------------------------------------------###REWORK 1 :
>Simple Rework


---###TLDR :
P : Infinite scaling + on hit effects
Q : Same but limited max targets
W : More Defensive + Create Flame orbs (unit that can be attacked by shyvana)
E : ~Same + Slow CC
R : CD


-----------------###PASSIVE :
#1 : Transcendence (Prevent from building Navori):
Shyvana auto attacks alternate between two on hit effects:
1) Deal Max health Physical damage (X% AD Ratio) and heal for Y% of damage dealt
2) Reduce all CDs by 1 sec.

#2 : Dragon essence
On Hit shyvana gain Dragon essence,

Shyvana can buy (in the shop) an ADJUSTED stat anvil (from Arena game mode) for X Dragon essence or Y golds


---#Intentions :
#1 : Transcendence
-Always have some power available even when she has no spells up(avoid feeling like CS),
-Splitting the max health magic damage from the mark to always have it a little bit active to limit relying on the mark too much
-Reducing the CD on hit = amazing + fun gameplay -> should be core shyvana's gameplay which would be quite nervous (fury/furious gameplay)


#2 : Dragon essence
-Infinite scaling is part of the dragon gameplay in league and make a lot of sense shyvana, she is a scaling champ
-Usually infinite scaling involves 1 part (e.g. Nasus Q) but I wanted to create a two part thing where you first have to get Dragon essence and then spend it in the most appropriate way.
-Very important for shyvana to be able to spend gold infinitely as she is a PVE oriented champion (also gold = classic dragon theme)

Stat anvil are an amazing gameplay with just the right amount of luck and offer interesting decisions for the player.
Works really well on shyvana who benefit from every stat in the game.


----------------###Q :
Same as current +
-More CD
-Can Duplicate "single instance on hit" (e.g. grasp, heartseel, Sheen, ...) <- Not sure about this
-1 Permanent Dragon's Claw Buff.
-If Shyvana could have hit more than the maximum number of targets she can hit she gains Dragon's claw for 5 sec

Dragon's claw:
Q Strike up to 1 additional targets in the area around the main target (Prio Champions), this buff stacks

--Dragon Form:
-+2 Dragon's claw
-Increased Dragon's claw AOE


--#Intentions:
-Keep Infinite Q AOE Scaling + Perma CD Reset in way that is balanceable because current Shyvana's Q is her most unique and defining gameplay ability
-Enemies get punished the more they stay packed -> leaves counterplay
-Potential to generate a lot of Dragon Essence


------------------###W : Dragon's Wings
-X% (AD + AP + Bonus HP Ratio) decreasing movement speed for 3 sec, Extends the duration by 1 sec on hit up to 7 sec
-Ghosting?
-Spawn a flame orb in front of shyvana

When she first attacks a non building unit or when she presses W again (after 1 sec) She Gain Dragon's Scales

Dragon's Scales:
-Gain a shield for X% of maximum life for X sec
-Refresh Movement Speed buff?
-Spawn a flame orb in front of shyvana

Flame orb:
Unit attackable only by shyvana with 3 lives.
If there is a linked target:
-Take X (AP + AD Ratio) magic damage when the orb is being hit
-Take Y (AP Ratio on tAD Ratio) Magic max health damage when the orb is destroyed

-Dragon Form:
Flames Surrounds Shyvana:
-The Flames Deals Y (AD Ratio) magic damage every second
-The Flames Deals Z Magic Damage (AD Ratio) on hit


--#Intentions:
-Added AD + Bonus HP Ratio -> every shyvana build needs a lot of MS in 2025 (Stat anvils could fix this too) + Emphasis the E>Q>W max
-Allow her to gain MS under tower without getting the aggro (Like Trundle's W)
-She Can Trigger Dragon's scale herself (standalone) and increase W Duration by hitting the spawned flame orb
-Flame Orbs are the way for shyvana to create additional targets that she can hit with Q to benefit from her AOE capabilities even in a 1v1.
They Require careful positioning from both shyvana and the enemy and can be used with her passive to heal or reduce CDs.
-AP Ratio on AD Ratio (more AP = Better AD Ratio) doesn't exist in league and Emphasis building AP and AD


-------------------###E :
--Fireball :
-Shyvana Shoots(cast) an exploding fire ball, she can AA while casting.
-Targets hit by the fireball takes X(AD + AP Ratio) magic damage and are marked for Y sec

--Mark:
-Shyvana deals Z% (AD Ratio) Max Health Magic Damage on hit to marked targets
-Every Y sec (Reduced by. 2s on hit) the mark on the target explode

--Mark Explosion:
-Slow by 30% (AP Ratio) for Z sec <- Only in dragon form?
-Deal U (AP Ratio) Magic Damage
-If The Target is an enemy champion: Spawn 1 flame orbs from/around the target.

-Dragon Form:
-Fire Ball's Explosion AOE Increased ~*2
-On Mark Explosion:
Spawn 2 flame orb instead
Create a fire field that deals P (AP Ratio) magic Damage over M sec


--#Intentions:
-Make Shyvana's E more fair by allowing enemies to place the fire fields.
-Keep The Spell caster part of shyv
-Cast Time Almost instant on melee fireball
-AD Builds needs the mark to explode faster


---------------------###R : Dragon Form
Same As Current but:
-Fury Required Removed -> 240? Sec CD
Reduce Passive CD on ult during ult?
-MS Ratio on Dash Speed
-Can cast E Mid Air
-Gain 100 fury when cast -> loose fury / sec + gain fury on hit
-No dash version available at level 1?


--#Intentions :
-Ult CD when dead
-Keep the ult cd reduction on AA -> More Interesting than ult that just CD
-E can be cast mid air -> Make Shyvana's TF Combo faster
-Remove the moments where the best thing to do is stop AA to loose dragon form -> generate fury = always good


--------------------###Overall/Conclusion:
-Easy to play hard to master -> --Complexity ++Depth
-E W Q Combo still exists
-Level 1 Start Q + passive should be good stat check power (Like Trundle Q Start)
-Basically Current kite + Flame Orbs is the biggest addition -> They fit really well into AD shyvana's gameplay by bringing depth to it (Skill expression),
They also allow AP shyvana for a caster + AA playstyle.
-Spawning flame orbs (with W) allows shyv to always have something to hit.
-Both forms are much closer in term of power (no longer a CS in human form)
-Human Form is a base linked to physical ability, Dragon form goes on top and is linked to Flames Ability's















-----------------------------------------------------------------------###REWORK 2 :
---###TLDR :
P: Infinite scaling + Fury
Q: Current Q, Dragon form: limited max targets
W: MS + Wildfire, Dragon form: Current R
E: Current E + Molten Spikes + Max hp shield, Dragon form: Can Be Channeled
R: Change form, Available at lvl 1


---###INTRO/CONCEPT :
-Fantasy of "Warrior who transforms into a fire-breathing dragon" -> Shyvana should change form every ~5-10 sec

------------------###Champion Spotlight :
Start in human form to get all the BUFFs by using W > Q > E.
W Will Grant MS and make E create Wild Fire in its wake which enhance W MS,
Q Grant AS to make the E cast Faster
E will create Molten Spike(s) Behind the target increasing the distance that a champion running away have to travel
which will help to land the W Recast and Q to get Maximum Fury.

Follow up with R to Transform in Dragon form and use E to damage and create more Molten Spikes
then use AOE Q on the linked target and on the spikes behind the target to destroy the spikes
use W To Force the enemy to all the other Molten Spikes and use Q Again to Destroy most of the Spikes.
Finish any run away targets with a Channeled E + Flash and/or AAing the leftover Molten Spikes to deal damage to linked targets and with Wild Fires.

If The Fight continue transform back in human form to refill Fury and use every CDs


---###Conclusions :
-Earth/Molten/Slam Abilities really fits Shyvana (Dragon/Fury/Warrior Theme) and are missing from the current kit
-Old W Flammes replaced by wild fire, Old E Mark replaced with molten spikes
-Might need a display for the CDs of the other form
-Overloaded / Too Complexe?
-Too weak vs kiting?
-Skill ceiling too low?
