In inspired by a thread I saw earlier, tell me who you main by explaining what you want riot to fix most that is unique to them. Is it a bug? An ability that needs to be fixed or changed? New lore?
For my main, they need to be nerfed so they are not top lane flavor of the month anymore and I can actually get them again!

I hit literally every button (including summoner and active) on them at the start of the fight and then just auto-attack for like 10 seconds until my second Q.
Edit: I realized I'm an idiot. I don't hit all my summoners. Flash usually isn't required.
There's no way August is a Yuumi main? 🤔
He is absolutely a Yuumi main.
Riot keep wanting to push the champion towards the AP playstyle despite it being the boringest playstyle ever.
For what it’s worth I view it this way:
AD bruiser has usually been the stronger playstyle.
Despite that, AP has been substantially more popular. The most recent buffs to AP Shyvana were to get her to engage with the rest of the kit, like Q autos. I don’t think they’ve buffed the E ratio in forever. It seems like they’re still interested in AP being slightly weaker but also with more gameplay.
Warwick or Sett maybe? 🤔
Warwick has reasons to delay his E and he doesn't W at the start of combat. (My pick technically has a delay case for one of the abilities but it's weaker than Warwick's DR)
Sett absolutely does not dump his W instantly.
Annie?
I think Annie has some decent target selection gameplay with her shield and arguably should micro Tibbers, but this is a really solid guess.
Q also isn't 10 seconds, but this is as close (in terms of fitting as an answer) an answer as I've seen.
Blitz or Naut? 10 seconds is kinda long, can't think of Champs that doesn't use much abilities a second time within 10 secs
Technically the Q is 8 seconds for my choice (couldn't easily look it up when I posted) but the pattern holds.
Blitzcrank and Nautilus are not bad options in terms of combat pattern. However, they both have E as a shorter cooldown than Q, so they'd be hitting that button instead.
Buffing AD bruiser makes her be flex top and jg and she's difficult to balance from there, don't you think? I used to main her when she was strong AD, but hate her AP playstyle. I don't think I agree that AD bruiser is stronger right now.
She could be. From what I can tell, SRT (Summoner's Rift Team) is pretty happy to say that flex picks are only problems when they become problems. See their buffs to Mordekaiser jungle and nerfs to Morgana jungle. I think they'd be happy with Shyvana being viable top/jg but would take issue if she became really difficult to play around due to flexibility.
As for her builds, looking at public data, Shyvana has about a 52% winrate when she completes Nashor's or Night Harvester as first item and a 52-54% winrate when finishing BotRK, Sunderer, Stridebreaker, or Trinity Force first item. Even Iceborne Gauntlet appears to be a possible strong starter.
Her picks are overwhelmingly AP (83% of games finish NT/NH first), but she still appears to be slightly more successful with AD fighter builds.
Master Yi or Diana?
Diana is a solid option but often you'd be playing around E resets and so the combat pattern isn't often that. She also wouldn't mash all her actives (i.e. Zhonya's) at the start of every fight.
Master Yi would almost work, but there are a couple of small things that miss: Yi doesn't typically build any active items and he wouldn't W at the start of the fight (though the timing is debatable; it could be an auto-attack reset after one auto and would fit the description)
Renekton?
I jest. Still mostly play adcs? Sivir perhaps?
That one's pretty solid. To talk it down would be splitting hairs that I've already smoothed over when describing the champion initially. Not the champion I was thinking of, but he fits the description.
For my last guess.
I would bet on Morgana, Q has long CD so I assume is the main clue here, you could start a fight with all of your abilities Q, W, E, Flash, Ignite, R, Zhonya and there is a case for E being situational.
😌
Hmm, Morgana could absolutely use that combat pattern I suppose but I think what I'm suggesting in the OP is pretty much the only combo you can use and that doesn't hold for Morgana.
Feels like a partial credit sort of answer, though!
Jarvan IV?
Jarvan hits this mark pretty well. Not sure I could call this one incorrect. Your post fits but was not the champion I was thinking of. Guess my description is lacking :)
Rell?
Hmm, fits the description pretty well, TBH. Turns out there are a lot of these, lol.
That sounds like Nocturne
Nocturne is the one!
Garen!
You wouldn’t R instantly. Sadly doesn’t fit the bill.
are there any casters/analysts that don't play jungle? seems like literally all of you main it or play it a lot
Haha this is the only season I’ve really been jungling.
Azael is a fill main though it seems he trends toward top. Pastry is a mid laner. Raz is I believe mid as well but I could be wrong. Hai is a mid laner. Kaizen is a jungler. Dash is jungle/top. I’m not sure about Emily or LeTigress. Crumbz is a jungler. I’m sure I’m forgetting some people but MarkZ doesn’t matter.
lucian?
E would definitely come up before Q.
I like that you specify hai is a midlaner….you mean one of NAs goats?
Technically Hai was also a jungler and support in the LCS so it's good to set the record straight!
