Shen's probably pretty good right now, but I just don't see why you would ever build AP on him when you can just buy tank/tanky deeps items on him. EDIT: I love Loci and he's a fantastic player, but it's delusional to think that you should be building AP on Shen. | ||

I mean, honestly, as a long time Hybrid DPS Shen troller, they nerfed his AP's sustained effectiveness by removing the ratio on the heal from vorpal. And he's not a burster, so who cares that his burst shielding/damaging is slightly increased? | ||

I mean, if you are getting solo-farm from the start then you should just get a fast sunfire to abuse that amazing DPS for early game, or fast warmogs. I guess I'd rather play Shen more as a support hero so that he can 100% concentrate on harassing the enemy team with his vorpal shit. WotA just happens to have the best aura at the moment in my opinion because there's maybe like TWO champions that wouldn't benefit heavily from 25% spell vamp. You won't able to dive balls deep into the enemy team for their squishies though, but I imagine you'd be a very versatile babysitter in teamfights. | ||

actually I'll cross post my thoughts from yesterday On September 14 2011 12:33 myopia wrote: Shen buffs are a joke IMO, he's still completely ignorable late game. Riot changing his AP ratios is farcical - where are all these AP items Shen is supposed to be buying, while still maintaining his energy based tank role? Rylais, Abyssal... that's it? (Don't forget Q is his only method of proccing Rylai's) oh man they actually REMOVED his heal AP ratio? seriously, Riot? Shen's kit has been problematic since they so thoroughly nerfed randuin's and sunfire. He doesn't have any items to call his own. his skills are still too watered down (or totally useless in W's case), and he doesn't scale well. Tanks like Amumu/Cow/Cho still make Shen look bad. Really bad. | ||

I suggest to thee the following build: Boots or Shield opening HoG Revolver for more sustain giants belt (to increase dat passive early on) finish Bunglade build Sunfire or Warmogs depening on how well you farm (preferably warmogs) Force of Nature just because your shen and HP is all you need (and bunglades) another Gunblade for that even better shield, ult and heal from Q allowing you to in theory stay in battle longer (imagne that shen's Q is like Vlad's and the longer you stay in a fight and lock on to a target the longer you live and become a machine gun) Finish Randuin's at some point and ofc finish Merc treads aswell (unless you wanne do the super AP build and get Moonflair, and can get tabi or cdr boots) | ||
