u/Strong-Telephone-474

I main Shyvana, and even though she’s better than last season, this matchup still feels rough. Lane isn’t really the issue. You usually get prio, Q/W trades are fine, and early doesn’t feel losing.

But once teamfights start, the game just gets weird. Win rates are like 53% Sylas vs 46% Shyvana, and it actually feels like that in-game.
You have to play around your transform timer and look for a good angle, but Sylas just takes your ult and gets more value out of it.

There are a lot of fights where he ends up doing similar or even more damage, which just doesn’t feel right.

>Most games just go like this
lane → slightly ahead → one fight → game’s gone

Is this something you can actually play around, or is it just a ban angle?

Been trying to make Perfected strike work. Early felt pretty good — multiple Pommel strike+ and just went all in on strikes. Mid Act2 I kinda lost the line. Took 2x Metamorphosis+ and later Bloodletting+, and draw got clunky. also grabbed a Byrd swoop+, might be grief.

Ended with like 5 Perfected strike+ but fights dragged and I just bled out. Tried to race everything, basically no block.

Was Byrd swoop actually that bad here, or was the run already scuffed after Metamorphosis? Feels like I just stopped committing somewhere. https://op.gg/ko/slay-the-spire2/history/1936077
