Once i get really good at the game, maybe then I can start writing guides for TT for each char and adding them on to the already awesome guides here on TL. I really like TT though, much faster pace, much easier to gank/be ganked, and not too many champs you need to keep track of. You don't need to be good to write a guide for a character. You just have to be open to ideas. 75% of the value in writing a guide is getting everybody else's opinion out there. Just find the appropriate champion thread and start writin'! | ||

Oh, Well in that case I will need to do some observations friday/weekend so I can write full up on monday. Ofc I won't have things like full masteries and rune pages for sure, but I can probably write strategy. | ||

Abyssal also a great choice vs casters and helps out your team's casters. 9/0/21 Magic pen reds HP/lvl yellows Magic resist blues Movespeed quints saw this on hsgg stream lol | ||

I'm sure it's not an original idea, but I've been testing this: Ghost/Teleport 9/21/0 Red -Armor Pen Blue -MR/lvl Yellow -HP/lvl Quint -HP/lvl R > Q > E > W Start: Regrowth Pendant + Pot Core: MercTreads, Sunfire, Warmog's, Atma's. Get Atma's last, for the rest mix and match components as situation demands. Lategame Options: Stark's Fervor, Thornmail, Abyssal Scepter, Frozen Mallet. Noticably missing: Randuin's Omen, Significant MR, Gold/10 items. The basic idea is making Ki Strike a frightening passive again. Since you're getting so much bonus health, Atma's seems in order. I've been feeling really cruddy lategame with Shen's old build (besides taunt I felt useless in teamfights), and this seems to fix that for me. The lack of significant MR and build-up items (hog, warden's) is a bit of a concern, tho. And I miss Randuin's active. :/ | ||

you also failed to mention the most noticeably missing item, which is Aegis. | ||

shen (used to be) an in-your-face tank. he would taunt your whole team and for 2 seconds absorb all their shots, then chase down the carry and stick to her like butter on a hot bun. to do this effectively, you needed to be equally as farmed as the enemy carry or very close, otherwise you just get melted. in my guide i point out that late-game you're getting melted no matter what. in order to acquire this level of farm, you need a solo lane or you need to be hogging the bot lane farm. the jungle simply will never let you get this level of farm. additionally, now that you can't stack HoG's, and kage's pick and avarice blade are awful on shen, coupled with shen only benefitting from half of a philo stone, i highly recommend not jungling with him although, to be fair, he might be a decent jungler in arranged 5s since tanks are kind of seeing their way out, and he's got a great CC. you wouldn't expect him to really *tank* anything but his effective 10 seconds of CC might be of use before he melts. he'd be similar to nunu in that he's more of a utility tank than a true tank, and doesn't get as much farm to do his job. he's a very effective warder/counterwarder thanks to taunt's ability to jump walls, so in arranged 5s he might not be your WORST option, but he's clearly not your best for a jungler | ||

 It's better if he shares with another tanky dps and just net kills and zones enemy bottom.And never jungle with Shen. I already think jungle Xin is subpar. Shen's worse than Xin. zz | ||

Good grief. I enjoy playing him even if he's weak, but the garbage I get while doing so is unbelievable. | ||
