Shen needs health and pushing power, both of which Sunfire gives him so thats usually the default 1st item.

I could see Twin Shadows being decent if you need MR but its getting kages early sets you behind in lane and I feel like there are other items I would rather have, including wits end for MR. Shen scales with AS so it works well.

Almost nobody still bans Shen around gold, too busy banning out Hecarim, Vi, Elise, Blitzcrank, etc.

Personally I ban Elise, Blitz, Akali, TF, and/or Pantheon when I get the chance, they all enable games to snowball out of control quite early without you being able to do anything about it (since you can't play every role).

Hmm. As much as HP is good on shen, his AP ratios are actually pretty scarily high. Given how much magic damage he does, how good would buying an abyssal be? Combine that with sunfire + your standard build and you get a larger shield on W, much, much more damage from Q/E and an extra ~100 health on your ulti.

As long as you're tanky enough to sit around (which you should be), that AoE actually hurts a lot, especially with the -20MR.

I'll test it next time I get shen top against an AP champion I guess. Sit on a negatron until I finish sunfire and then pick up an abyssal. Seems like it could catch people off guard too since that increases shen's burst by a hefty amount.

I know people rarely play Shen now, but if I were to, what offensive item would be best? Blade? Tf? Hydra?

All of those might be too expensive. Wit's End might be more fitting. TF if you can afford it, but maybe even Rylais?

Too expensive? Most of the other tank tops are getting one of those.

Different champions.
Renekton has his ult for beef, Jax has W and ult, Irelia often goes *pop* until really late, Trundle has ult, Shyvana has ult, Lee is Lee...

I've found that TF works best with Shen. Expensive yes, but you are able to split push so much that you end up with quite a bit of gold, and the AS on it helps both your passive and your split push.

Wits End if they have two sources of AP damage that I need to worry about.
Blade if the other tank is really tanky (ie. Mundo)
Hydra pretty much never for me, I'm not looking for huge amounts of damage, but the ability to chase.
Static Shiv when things are looking desperate and I'm looking to lose.

I usually like TF cause the phage and sheen procs work pretty well with his kit and role.

The only item worth considering is probably a wits end, but i would feel like a banshee's might be more useful when you're diving for an AP champ anyways. It might be useful if your team is pure AD so you can do more magic damage with sunfire and your dagger from the mres steal (lol)

BOTRK + TF = CARRY SHEN ALL DAE.

Nah but really I like BOTRK for single damage item. Slow is handy, great for chasing people down.
I actually really like Shen right now, spaming F2 - F5 keys looking for TPs while Csing is quite challenging.

p.s. blood moon shen or warlord shen best skin? Surgeon can GTFO.

Please. TPA Shen for inflatable clap-bat power and that beautiful auto attack sound.

As far as actual gameplay goes, I can say from experience that Rylai's is a very useless item, even first. Your q does a little more damage and the health is nice, but sunfire or TF/BotrK for damage is just so much better.

yeah recently I'm running a lot into WitsEnd/TF Shens with tanky items and I have to say that shit is tanky and deals tons of damage and can appear suddenly on my lane, taunting all day, all nighy.

Also Blood Moon Shen best.

TPA > All indeed. :D

I was messing around with Shen for a few ranked games, and found it a lot of fun but a little weak vs. a lot of popular champions. However, just today I got owned in lane at level 2 as Renekton by an elixir+health pots all in from Shen... I need to try that.

Shen's level 1 and 2 are stronger than Renekton's respective levels. Renekton gets strong once he gets all his skills though and once that happens Shen has to wait for Sunfire.

Shen only is strong lvl 1 and 2 if you fight him. He has no chase potential before taunt, and only small harass with lvl 1 Q.
