Just to warn everyone about that. We certainly wont be playing with him again. just wana say as unbelieveable as it sounds, it was past 2 in the morning, and my mother rose from her slumber, and cut the internet... this hopefully is an issue of the past as a soon finish up exams. | ||

We win. 18-1 Anivia ftw. I actually was a useful Gangplank, too - I got Infinity edge in about 30 minutes, with Chalice Avarice Boots2 Brutalizer to back it up. Chalice basically removes my mana problems. It's amazing. Second game I don't want to talk about. | ||

I have "ok" scores, but it's totally different than before the nerfs, i used to dominate almost every single game carrying the team easily. I used to always rush Mejai->lichbane/rylai, now i'm getting archangel first, with the W being so nerfed you really have to spam it to heal the team. If anybody plays him AP i'd like to hear your suggestions for some item builds! Thanks in advance. | ||

You could also just forgo the support route entirely and just go survival + AP or survival + AD. | ||

Just tag someone with vorpal, and start wacking on them. You get back like 40HP per hit (vorpal is a heal over time so you get 2 ticks from each attack), and you're hitting pretty fast. Feint if they're bursting (spammable with all that CDR from nashor's), cleanse if they cc. You can literarily chase their carry out of combat if they don't focus you down. Much more fun than the typical HP-stacking build (even if it's not as good) | ||

MM checks your account email and finds other accounts with the same email, then assumes your level is the same as the highest level account associated with said email | ||

It's more like Aegis -> Stinger -> Frozen Mallet (sometimes sunfire cape)-> Nashor's tooth (sometimes a second sunfire cape) Just tag someone with vorpal, and start wacking on them. You get back like 40HP per hit (vorpal is a heal over time so you get 2 ticks from each attack), and you're hitting pretty fast.

Much more fun than the typical HP-stacking build. gotta love mana regen on shen :p Nashor's is a bad idea on Shen because his AP ratios aren't very good, he doesn't stand to gain much from attack speed, and he has no mana. The only thing he's a big fan of is the CDR and there are better ways to go about getting it. The interaction between AS and Vorpal isn't what you think it is... each hit while Vorpal is regening you only serves to refresh the timer to it's max of 2 seconds. In other words, if you attack 2 times/second or 0.5 times/second, you'll still get the same benefit from vorpal so long as your hitting your target, as 0.5 AS will refresh the buff just as it runs out and 2 AS will excessively refresh the buff, effectively doing nothing. If you're really intent on being DPS shen, Ghostblade is a much better idea as it provides more utility and has no wasted stats. You could even just tack on just Stinger for good measure if you wanted to be a chaser with your mallet (AS does help in this regard by refreshing the slow). All tolled, stinger + ghostblade will cost you 800 more gold (a little less actually from the bonus gold you'd get back off of avarice), but the end result will be much more potent. If all you're looking at is the juicy CDR, Spirit Visage and Radumen's Omen are better ideas that fit within Shen's optimal role of tanking. | ||

Aegis, Omen, Sunfire Cape, even Mallet, those are far better items for Shen. Just use your passive wisely. When your passive is up, save it for auto attacking an enemy champion, not creeps. | ||

I'm not looking for a build order but more of a build order direction. 1. Guinsoo's Rageblade 2. Nashor's Tooth 3. ??? 4. Profit grandjudge prefers Stark's over Tooth but I think the mana regen and CDR is more beneficial. Q and E, then kite. | ||
