btw sometimes I cannot get shyvana and so a more epic game occurs instead. This game with Han was one such game:
I spent all my money on Boots of Mobility, 4 gold items, and as many wards as I could afford. Enemy udyr's jungle was constantly full of wards. Look how pathetically small his farm is and bear in mind that 800 of that was wasted on oracles that we killed.
Han and I are 2 of our random allies (who were apparently Q'd together) were laughing hysterically all game.
Enemy team may have reported me for being rude and yelling things like
"NICE FLASH BROSKI" every time the enemy did anything wrong.
I will not be touching LOL until the Dragon Lady autolocks die out. I need someone like Sytha to check out Olaf's new buffs in the jungle and tell me if they're good or not. If they are i'll buy him and if not i'll keep saving up for Nocturne.

Olaf didn't get any buffs that affect his jungle, dude. His buffs were 1/15th increased missile speed on Undertow and Ragnarok can be used while CCed but lasts 6 seconds regardless of rank.

Shyvana seems really cool, but I have no idea how to build her. Attack speed to take advantage of her passive? Hybrid so her E isn't useless? Or just loltankydps?

Also sunfire cape if you need beef. It's not that sunfire is WHOAOMGAMAZING, it's that it has good synergy. Come to think of it, a malady could be pretty ballin' on her - makes Burnout stronger and has the attackspeed and AP to help.
Spoilers anagram, that's because tanky DPS are versatile. Find me a carry that can jungle well or solotop and I'll find you hateful lies. Power creep has made it so you can't send a carry mid, or a caster bot without a heavy kill setup. Tanky DPS are the champions who can mix it up most.
(And also, RIOT is STILL looking for a winning Tanky Deeps formula. They haven't found it yet, which is why they've gone and nerfed all the Xin Zhao style tanky deeps who were crazy strong due to being able to gapclose while doing damage.)

I know they're versatile and everything, but hell. I joined during the Vayne patch. Since I joined, these champions have been released: Orianna Yorick Leona Wukong Skarner Riven Xerath Graves Shyvana
Four non-tanky DPS (and one of them is literally a tank), and five tanky DPS (and let's not forget that Graves is designed to be tankier than normal carries). Granted, okay, they're extremely unique, versatile tanky DPS champions who don't play similarly at all (except Wukong, who is made out of existing abilities and unoriginality), and I really do appreciate that they're able to do so much with a single archetype, but come on. Just come on. The last zero CS support who was released was Sona.
I just really hope the next champion is an AP carry or a support.

Two syllables: BO-RING. Most people don't LIKE playing pure supports. They HATE IT. Being a squishy ass whose job is literally to press S inside bush and then occasionally press a key is horrific. Sure, you're supposed to be more active than that, but in general supporting boils down to ultra passive play. The only support that averts that is Taric (and Alistar, sorta), because his job is to set up kill lanes. It's much more fun to do Leona style support where you're constantly trying to bully the everloving **** out of your enemy instead of derping around giving your buddy a heal or whatever.
Also, we just got a super unique AP in Xerath, who is getting even more unique and powerful soon. We can wait a little on APs. What I really want to see is a new hybrid, not a specific role. Shyvana sort of is one, but I want someone in the Kayle or Jax vein.

I've got to tell you, Kanz, I see way more Jannas, Sorakas, Tarics, and Sonas than I see Wukongs and Yoricks.

Wukong is a loaded comparison because he's a super unoriginal champion. Yorick is a bad pick because he's actually played reasonably often. Also, you see many more because...drumroll...you need someone to cover the carry. Those characters are universally accepted as carry guardians, which is why they are used. Not because they are massively enjoyed, but because they are *needed*.

Yeah, so you *need* a carry guardian, and that's a support. There are five, possibly six potential supports (I hesitate to include Karma since she needs CS and is much, much rarer than any other support). I understand that you're going to see more of them because there are less choices, but if support is going to be "necessary," there's no reason to limit the players to five choices. If the only reason supports seem more common than any given tanky DPS is that there aren't as many choices, the obvious thing to do is to add more supports, right?
And I know Yorick is more common than Wukong, but I still see all of the supports way more often than him. In fact, I see Soraka, Taric, and Alistar more often than most (though not all) tanky DPS.

Loss ~ Shyvana ~ 6-7-8 (2.00) [-14] 1573 {34} Our caitlyn was 100% unable to beat enemy vayne. Fed so hard early and then got caught mid game giving up buffs. Sigh
Win ~ Taric ~ 0-1-6 (6.00) [+13] 1586 {34} Ally fiddle did work early. We held the advantage the rest of the game even against enemy graves.
Win ~ Miss Fortune ~ 5-8-12 (2.12) [+13] 1599 {45} Enemies took anivia from red and their Anivia did very well. Very long fought game we almost lost.
Win ~ Warwick ~ 5-5-17 (4.40) [+14] 1613 {45} red played support mundo. We started losing hard early (because of bot lane lol), came back just as hard mid/late.
Adding a {stat} to show which picks we got. 90% of the time we get 4-5 pick but today we started with 2 games that were NOT 4-5 pick. Twas very strange.
So depressed about my Shyvana debut. I did good work early that game, but Caitlyn was much to heavy. Could not farm in a lane against a vayne at ALL when Cait should win that match up.
Wriggles>Merc>Phage>Wit's>Impaler>then either Warmog+TF or Mallet+Gunblade is what I'm seeing on streams right now. Then they sell the Wriggles later for a stronger item.
