It's rare to get it but you do get the occassional person in gold riding you or throwing the game just b/c they think shyvana is a bad champion.

I got silver to Gold I on shyvana and I'm still moving up.

She's just misunderstood. Her kit doesn't have a stun or non ult CC, ok we all know that everyone KNOWS that. However her kit is mixed damage (about 65% magic and the rest AD). Which makes countering her very hard top or in the jungle. The scaling on her W is 140%. She does extremely well in extended fights and duels. She's the tankiest of tanks. There isn't one champion, even with CC, which can out duel or tank her at the moment. 40 Free Armor and Magic Resist. HP Shred. Mixed damage. A great engage/disengage. And the ability to carry exhaust when most champs have to carry flash. She has great clear speeds, and incredible AOE.

With a Randuins, Locket, and boots she has a 4 sec slow on randuins. Enough peel for any carry. Put on top of that the huge scaling on your W and base damage of nearly 2k burst and you have  yourself a champion.

Can she be kited? Yes but not as easily as Nasus and some other junglers. Most shyvana's make the mistake of using her ult to engage and no one can follow up. You don't use your ult to engage you use it to peel, or you use it to push them from your team once the fight started to give your backline some room and throw out a ton of AoE. Anyone who makes it through she exhausts and focuses, use locket and randuins for your carries while everyone running through your fire... Yah but she's a bad pick guys don't use her.
