I beg to disagree on some points, dear anon.

Thornmail doesn't "mess up" anyone except an AD carry if she's forced to duel against one.

"maybe Malady" - Just no. While Shyvana's damage may be hybrid, her main damage W scales off of AD. She also needs tankyness and sticking power, so no AP and no Malady.

Both are really tanky bruisers who benefit of health and attack speed, with Shyvana having more AOE (magic) damage, and Vi having more single target damage (only physical). Vi also has better ganks with her CC and gapclosers, and she also has pretty good burst for in-lane harassing against some matchups. Vi is also easy and straightforward to play with, Shyvana needs somewhat more work to be good at.

I am in the same boat with anon above though. I think Vi is stronger of the two (just because of her utility), but I really would like to be playing with Shyvana.
