I've never played shen before, I've been thinking about it though, hence my looking at this guide. I find myself wondering, would nashor's tooth be of any use on a shen?


I wouldn't get it because Shen's ratios are kinda ****py. If you really want some AS, I would recommend Wit's End rather than nashor's because it also grants def stats and a hit effect. but either way this would be a different concept build from the one described here.

Why would you try that? This build is mainly on you taking all the damage rather than giving it. You are to save your team and get assists in the proces. Getting kills yourself isn't the main goal. Not for any tank I believe.

I was tired when I wrote that :P I was thinking about CDR. If anything I suppose Shurelya's Reverie would be better for that, still doesn't seem like a good idea though. Maybe against a AD heavy team you could swap the Banshee's veil for it?

Sure, banshees is a situational item. but in an ad heavy team i would be frozen heart in place of banshees rather than Shurelya's. massive CDR + debuff + armor! :)

awesome guide, Shen is 1 of my mains and it helped me much when i just started playing him. But i dont think Warmongs is such a bad item, isnt that much expensive considering if you want to replace eotl with it and you can stack it pretty fast with assists and usually supports get eotl so your team wont miss any survability. Also i think Flash is a good summoner spell, you can use it to escape, to position your Shadow Dash, and when chasing and you cant reach someone with Shadow Dash.

Quoted:
However do think that this spell is a get out of jail free card.


It says that at the end of the stuff about Ghost, seems like it should be "... don't think..."

Great guide though :)

I got to say i dont like your build.I have a different one and it works great for me and I respect your opinion if you think that yours is good.(If you tank him then altima's impaler and finish with an attack speed/life steal it works great).

Everyone has a different play style. Perhaps you should write a guide for those who play more like you.

Thanks for the feedback ^.^
