Shyvana Top, patch 16.11. Below you'll find Shyvana's build, runes, toughest counters, strongest duos, and win conditions, every number measured from current-patch Emerald+ ranked games.
Shyvana is an AD bruiser in the top, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as an off-meta pick — a 46.3% win rate, 0.3% pick rate, 3,815 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Shyvana is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.
How Shyvana wins: splitpushing a side lane and forcing the enemy to answer it, and winning the wave and turning push priority into map control. The kit grades 9/10 split-push, 9/10 waveclear, 7/10 teamfighting. Shyvana grades low on siege and disengage (3/10, 2/10), so don't take fights that turn on those dimensions.
The most-played core build is Trinity Force, Spear of Shojin, Death's Dance, which holds a 57.3% win rate across 124 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.
The matchup to respect is Ashe, where Shyvana sits at just 38.7%, and on the team side, Shyvana gains the most from a Viktor (+7.7% pair win rate).
