Shen Build Guide by Siveo

Awesome guide. I'm always upward of 20 assists now!

nice but I won´t buy rylais better buy warmogs armor^^

Very nice guide, helped me a lot and i'm now the main tank in my team.
I have 1 problem tho, which is the amount of health. I allways skip the aegis of the legion because our support has it. Even then it will take a long time, and many assists before i have my mercs, omen and FoN. When i have all those items i have pretty low health (Around 2.5k)
Its not a really big problem as i have HUGE armor and magic resist, but i never really reach the Rylai's.

GJ on the build tho :D, +1

@Aeroww:

I've never actually experienced a problem with the health because you have indeed quite a lot of armor and mag. res.

If you want to have more health and some more gold, I suggest you follow the guide with the hearth of gold before your mercs but instead of buying the randuin's, you build a Warmog's Armor. This will give you more gold thanks to your hearth of gold and you will gain more health ;)

The Rylai's is really an end-end-end game item. You will have teams that are quite even and it will be a close fight when you actually can buy it. That's why you want the AP and some more health to be able to do some more dmg as a tank and get even more survivability.

I hope I could clear out some things for you and help you out.

My guide: Don't mess with the Shen

Ah, yes. The mighty warmog's instead of omen xD. I'm gonna try that out soon (When those pvp.net errors stop?)
I also have to say that i forget to use Omen's active like 90% of the time, maybe if i use it better i dont need massive health :p

Thanks for clearing some things up. And again, its a really nice guide. Good too see that some people still use shen too tank (I don't see him that often)

First of all, i like your build very much! (although i'd like to ask if there would be an optional build that doesnt have Randuin's Omen... T-T i always forget to use the active and i feel like i'm not using it to its full potential)

next, i want to discuss about the usefulness of Shen's passive. Since the damage increases with every bonus health plus a base damage, and its CD reduces by 2 seconds everytime u r hit by an enemy champion, doesn't its usefulness shine even more in late game where team fights are very frequent?

if u think about it, Shen has an AOE taunt that FORCES the enemy champs to attk you for a full 2 seconds late game which means recharging your passive would be no time. His passive makes shen one of those champs that can build full tanky with no damage, and STILL have a nice overall damage output (like Galio, Rammus, Malphite, Alistar). just my opinion.

Whatta build <3

@DokBam: Randuin's is one of my favorite items thanks to all of the stats actually. But if you want to replace it with something, I think Spirit Visage comes close to stats and some sort of defense item and it costs less and you don't have the active.

I've noticed that too that at mid/late-games I accidently ks from my carries because my passive suddently pops up and I do the last bit of dmg ... Kinda annoys me sometimes. Well, I have to say that that's why I actually love to take a rylai's at the end. It gives you some Ap to be able to hit harder with your Q and W skill and it gives you a nice amount of health for you passive.
