So, odds of NA LCS players picking Shen this weekend?

Also, Mecha Aatrox and Mecha Mal are available for purchase on live servers(I didn't see anyone mention it).

I guess as an anti-carry/melee he's good, but it's still a really passive lane for the most part, which is why I don't understand why you pick it over say, Ryze, who scales comparably, but wins, or Shen, or also scales well, but again, can win matchups.

Could also be that I got tired of being a bitch in lane and just want to go aggro when I feel like I can to punish or all-in if I get a lead. Nasus can't really do that, then again, Ryze and Shen can't really all-in either, but meh.


I don't play Nasus really but I have seen enough of Sirhcez's stream to know he survives basically every matchup by using teleport to back early for defensive items and just stacking the Q. Its an extreme example but just yesterday he got 600 stacks by 20 minutes and he often has 400+ against even the toughest matchups. At 300+ that early in the game wither becomes a death sentence especially with ganks and the lane rolls from there. I understand your frustration in not wanting to Q 100-200 CS every game before going deep though lol.

With so little time to practice with Shen, I think it unlikely, especially this late in the season when games mean so much.

From my experience, a good Tryndamere can beat Nasus. I got stomped pretty hard by Fwii.


A good X can beat a good Y.
in any case trynd is a lot stronger in early lane than nasus is. I just said in terms of 1v1ing later in the game nasus beats pretty much every melee with reasonable gold similarity.
if trynd has like full items with LW maybe its different but even then with thornmail im not sure.

Shen can bully Irelia, Jax and others pretty hard in lane tbh.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

As I see it, I think Shen will get picked in a "protect the Koggles" team comp, and we'd just need to see Gragas (and maybe Mundo or Trist) get banned.

I think I said a "protect the Koggles" plan, not "have our only lategame DPS be the Koggles" plan.

Unless you mean have Shen + Twitch be on the same team. Cause that just sounds dirty.

I think Shen actually beats a lot of weaker lanes early on, and at the 5-6 item stage he'll beat most champs as well. It's just the midgame timing where he doesn't have the items to push and his %hp healing from Q isn't insane yet where he'll get a bit bullied.

Also mecha or glacial malphite?

Well back in season 3, the top meta basically boiled down to Jax, Renekton, or Shen, with the occasional pick of Riven, Jayce, or Ryze, as I don't think Shyvana's rework had been allowed in time for the Worlds stage.

What's happening so far in season 4 top lane? Shyvana, Renekton, Ryze, Jax, Lulu, and now Gragas. Shen would probably be picked against two, maybe three of those 6, and the remaining 3 (Lulu, Gragas, Ryze) can be either banned or flex picked into mid/support.

Shyvana was played in WC3.

So it looks like in ranked soloQ, blue side only wins 51% now.

Riot changed the matchmaking algorithm and blue side now have higher MMR.

That doesn't make any sense. Why would blue side win rate drop if the better players are now on blue instead of purple?

I'm pretty sure Thoorin would suck his own dick if it was possible so when he said that the Flame interview was some of his best works I took it with a grain of salt, but it's really really good, Flame fan for life starting today.
