Shyv was designed during an era in LoL when devs didn't want to "pigeonhole" a champ by making them explicitly for one lane or another. We got champs like Leona, Skarner, Lee Sin, Yorick, and Volibear who who only fit specific laning roles due to coincidence (Yorick), powerful kit (Lee Sin), or a little shoehorning (Leona).

Riot doesn't design quite like that anymore because it's a little too lassez faire and we get champs who are super toxic like release Lee sin or super useless like Volibear or super "square peg trying to fit in round hole" like Leona.
