Yeah, Shyvana was my favorite jungler in Season 2, but I stopped playing her during the start of Season 3. Recently been playing her more often though. Usually I don't do the longsword + 2pot start like Saint did in that video, mainly because I think he said he had to run lifesteal quints to be safe enough. Usually I'll just machete+5 and am able to farm 800g fast enough to grab that. Usually I won't upgrade machete at all til much later, that or I sell it for my vamp if I have to go back sooner.p.s. @Sidian: thanks for linking that shyvana jungleology vid. It helped me understand her changes a bit and her current strength/weaknesses. I think that might be who I pick up, considering I really liked her even before the change due to her fast clear times and buff/objective control. Seems she got a bit better at that and tankier overall with her passive change and ult charging so quickly. I gotta farm some more IP before I can get her, so I might change my mind, but currently that's who I'm leaning towards.
Plus the amount of damage Shyvana can do if you can actually get to your target is quite insane. It's why you run exhaust on her and it's why you rush bork. She's much better if your laners actually have some extra CC though. I love ganking lanes with a Leona, or a Ryze or a Shen. Just anything with a hard CC to allow you to get close to them.
My main 3 junglers are probably Maokai (If I need to be tankier), Shaco (If I want to split push) or Shyvana (for more snowbally).
