Um hello??? Did Riot forget about Shyvanas passive where killing each type of dragon makes her abilities stronger? What are they gonna do about her second ability now that it can’t gain any buff from the Cloud Drake?? They need to buff it or do something about it since it’s not fair for her second ability to not gain anything from the Dragon when all her other abilities do.

To answer your question, no they didn't forget about her lol. Watch Riot Endsteps previous streams on twitch where he talks about Shyvana more.

But basically they said they'll do/doing/will do (coz we don't know) something about Shyvana before elemental rift becomes the main game mode.

We got time so don't worry.

Correct, we will be iterating on Elemental Rift and it could change a lot, based on player feedback. It makes sense to solidify her changes as we get closer to the final version.

It isn't something we plan on over looking, but the options were to ship changes that would imbalance her for ranked, for a passive more geared towards a game mode that we expect to iterate on (and thus we would need to reshape for each version). So we decided to leave her passive alone until we got closer to a more final version.

We could, but what is it about the Cloud Drake that you like? If it is the MS then this doesn't really address that. If it is a different reason can you elaborate on that a bit for me? The question isn't so much "can we add Cloud Drake?" it's really "Should we add Cloud Drake" What does its existence add to the game.

It's really that the other 3 elements kinda don't make sense without the 4th one. At this point they should be named Drake1 - Drake2 - Drake3 - Elder Drake, because as I said the other elements don't make sense if one of them is no existent. I don't think it matters what the cloud drake gives, it just has to be there for the other elements to make sense.

How does its existence make the other drakes make more sense? What about adding a 4th drake changes it from "Drake1 - Drake2 - Drake3 - Elder Drake" to "Infernal - Ocean - Mountain - Cloud - Elder Drake"?
