I feel like upgraded yellow trinkets are like the secret OP right now. It's just so good for so little gold, especially when it reaches the point where nobody has inventory room for wards. Yet in most games I play, I asked people repeatedly to buy them, and people just don't respond. Come on.

Don't think it is good to have more than one if you have a sighstone tbh.You just need at least 2 red trinkets as well.

Ideally, I think you want two red trinkets, one blue and two upgraded yellows. It's just frustrating when you're supporting and almost your entire team has sweepers, so most of the time you're literally the only one with a single ward on the map.

Well it's soloq can't really make people be reasonable.Most people just don't believe in wards.

Personally I think 3 reds/blue/yellow is the way to go with people grabbing a ward or 2 when they can but that will never happen in soloq ^^.

I wonder whether I shuld purchase Shaco as my second jungler. So far, I found most junglers quite boring as there isn't much to do during combat. Lee sin is my go-to- atm as there always seems to be way to improve your execution, which I enjoy very much. How is Shaco in that regard? Is he also a champion that has a pretty high skill ceiling?

It also depends on what you are actually doing. If you are running around as 5 to objectives you should be fine with pinks and sighstone and can take 4 reds/1 blue to clear around the objective. If you have someone splitpushing or even do 3/1/1 splits upgraded yellows increase in value tremendously because you need to cover more area with wards for a longer time.


It also is relevant whether you need to save some reds for stealth champs in fights obviously.

I kinda feel bad not upgrading my trinket at level 9 since it's so cheap. Pretty much 4 wards and I've made my gold back.

I'm not sure about Shaco. Nidalee is a jungler with a lot of execution and a high skill ceiling though.

That's true for Nidalee when she's outside of the jungle. In the jungle her execution is literally:
  • Start in Cougar Form.
  • Mash WEQ->R.
  • (Optional Mash WE)Q->R.
  • Mash WEQ->R.
  • Repeat when Cougar CDs refresh.

Maybe if Scip makes her the next challenge we'll see something more nuanced than that, but once you get the rhythm of her reset abuse it's pretty rote.

You can say that about anyone including lee though. You just mash EWQ and somehow clear real fast.

Eh, Lee you actually want to do stuff like space your abilities out to proc his passive. There's a marked difference between a Lee who just mashes and a Lee who is more thoughtful about which abilities he uses and when.

That's not really true for Nidalee. Her optimal jungling skill use is exactly as stated with only minor variation (e.g. when you get extra pounce resets). It's not mechanically difficult beyond aiming Spears/Pounce/Swipe properly (which isn't hard, although it's lulzworthy when you throw a spear to nowhere). It is fun since it's lots and lots of button presses.

In theory you can sacrifice jungling speed for reduced damage incurred by taking advantage of Hunt's root effect, but I haven't found that particularly useful compared to just diving into the rotation.

About tristana, from what I played with/against her, she is a terror in lane if you have a support who can hold the opposing adc for 3-4 autos, and mediocre at best with a supp with no hard cc (sona, raka, lulu etc)

I play mostly premade 5s and our ADC is usually our best player, so I don't know if it is a factor, but her mid/late was very strong, few games she singlehandedly carried us from way behind, but again, don't know if it's the champ or the players strength. Also we often play "protect the carries" (mid/adc) comps, so can't really tell One thing I'm sure of, Trist/Leona is a very very strong lane not falling off at any point in the game

if it comes down to it, i'd still rather have the ability to kill 2+ wards with an oracle than place 1 additional ward

Shaco is due for a remake soon™ so you may want to hold off on the purchase.

Botrk is actually decent enough, if you want something between stacking 4th hundred armor or 3rd hundred magic resist.

I have seen folks build triforce for Shen mostly.

triforce is such a nice single item for shen, but I feel if you get it, it's such an expensive item that you'd have to be like 3-4 kills ahead in lane for you to buy it without falling behind in your defensive scaling, and your overall utility. Which is hugely problematic since shen usually just aims to go even in lane anyways, rarely does he ever get a lane where he smashes. The time you do get ahead, is usually your midgame ulti contributions, and by then you already have boots + 2 defensive items, and building 3rd item triforce takes forever, and is a huge pain in the ass.


It is expensive, but doesn't the build path allow decent flexibility? It's not like building a IE or Deathcap where you have to wait for a huge sum before you even finish part of the build. Then again with most of the defensive items getting paths from their little cousins (especially now that ruby leads to belt) wouldn't it be best to keep on the defensive stacking?


Components are kinda useless on Shen, noone will in good mind start him with sheen, for example, because when you compare someone like Malphite with casual sheen and Shen, Shen loses a lot there.

Phage sounds cool on paper but you won't buy casual phage in beginning of game either, ultying somewhere just to die sounds bad.
Zeal is even worse.

Frozen mallet might be good on Shen, but it's so freaking expensive for so little profit that it sucks as well.


Trinity force is the best and probably only good damage item on him post wits nerf (wits or botrk work if you really need them are okay for a 2nd item)
You don't compare items to how good they are on other champions that's absurd.
You don't say "oh don't get sunfire on anyone because it's better on garen"



A Shen with sheen probably destroys a malph with sheen because his kit with the sheen damage outlasts malphite.
Malphite runs oom very quickly and his passive regens much slower than shens Q. Shens W and Q can stop him getting low from E//Q harass before he runs out of mana.

Shen usually has lots of health because of his W and Q healing and good harass so he lacks burst damage, the sheen provides that nicely.


Zeal and phage aren't to be underestimated, movement speed is very good on shen because he relies on mobility to hit his ki strikes and taunts and thats all he does post ult.
You normally want sunfire first of course and full tank is a more normal route but absolutely all my dominating shen games have involved wrecking with trinity



wits end has always been a bit underwhelming. Botrk wouldn't be muchbetter, the ki strike as scaling sounds good on paper but realistically melees cant stick to squishies for a long time so the speed and burst of trinity is far better

I've started sheen on shen anytime I'm doing really well, its the best item to punish people in lane
sunfire is obviously the usual item to get
