Nice guide it has helped me become even better at tanking. However there is some insight I should share. The mastery I'm not sure if you haven't updated in a while or are simply confused ,but I will say if it hasn't already been said INDOMITABLE ONLY works on minions in the jungle and lane IT DOES NOT count to the enemy champion and lets be honest even if it did which I'm nearly 90% it doesn't work on enemy champs taking 2 less damage is not going to help. It would be much wiser to invest the points in something else I personally recommend initiator for its name sake of fast speed for better initiation or HP regen for better lane sustain. Please feel free to criticize and tell me if I am misinformed.
Thank you.

You should definitely add in Trinity Force for damage items. It's seen use in many recent tournaments and i use it as my core item if dont need to build as tanky (ex. we have Amumu/Naut jungle)
But nevertheless, good guide.

Hi, I am looking for a build for Twisted Treeline, because that is what I mainly play. Is this build viable for TT, or what do you suggest when it is not entirely optimal?

Hey,

I would just like to say the starting cloth 5 is alright, but boots 3 is so much better. ALso, Shen is one of those junglers who doesnt need to get razors or a wriggles, he just doesnt need it. I think you have a section for people who have full jungle materies and runes who can do this, as for the better jungling sumoners it will help them out a lot more :D. Thanks for reading

I don't understand why you would take Honor Guard instead of Initiator . Initiator gives a 3% increase in movespeed, while Honor Guard reduces incoming damage by 1.5%. In an average game you will take about 50,000 damage. Honor Guard will reduce that damage by 750. With tier 2 boots, you will have approximately 400 movespeed. Initiator will give you 12 movespeed. 12 movespeed could be the difference between getting away and dying or getting a kill and losing it. Initiator is so much more useful than Honor Guard .

Hey, well I'm not really a fan of Shen jungle and some people been asking for a jungle guide so I tried it out for them. In the time I wrote it, boots and 3 pots was really really close so I didn't want that less experienced junglers would do it and ruin their jungle ...

For the wriggles, I'm just a fan because it can help you out really great in jungle and just in every situation + it's a free ward (always comes in handy).

To be honest: You're right, but the only problem with me is that Initiator has a downside, you have to be at 70%+ and most of the time I'm below that! So you will lose the bonus for about 50% of the game while the Honor Guard still counts!
Another thing is that with Shen, I don't have to walk so fast and far most of the time thanks to ur ulti!

'12 movespeed could be the difference between getting away and dying or getting a kill and losing it.'
I'm sorry to say but in both of those situations, you'll have 90% of the time less than 70% health so you won't have the bonus speed!

Well, masteries have always been a problem for guidewriters! Everyone has their own opinion about some masteries! I can only say to pick what you like urself!
