this is a tank guide. shen is one of the two best tank. rammus and shen is the two best tanks, and the reason is, that rammus have the best suvivle, and are the highest damging tank, pluds he have one of the longest, and best cc. (cc is stun/slow/ecto ecto). shen is allso one of the best tanks, bechus he is best to proteckt hes team, he have his thurnt, and his ulty, that just can save the hole team.
Forrest: shen is not a good forrester. he can forrest but its tooooo slow, and its warry importent that the forrester is fast.
when u are in a teamfight, u have to be manny plasses at one time. thats why u need gost. when i say u have to be alot of plasses at one time, its bechus u need to block skillsshots for ur team, and u allso have to thurnt channeling ennemyes, andm thurnt so manny ennyes as pusible at the same time. u allso have to have a worperblade on the focused target. allso u have to be whi the one that have the lowest hp, so u are ready to thurnt, and block spells. allso u have to look at the little side bar, wher u can see ur teammats hp, and be ready to use ulty on them. if ur team dont have ignite take that instead. i dont like it bechus it might give u kills, and u dont warnt that, u warnt assist! ur job as tank is to peoteckt ur team and feed the carry. tho u still warnt some damg, thats why we multy lvl q, its allso so that ur team can get hp, in fights, but u need damg, so that u can finish a camp that try to fle, then u can jump in to tower and kill the cham, and coms out alive, so ur team dont have to risk thir life. and ofc its allays nice to have some damg, tho not damg over time bechus u carnt contole if u get kills.

If ur openen team have more then 1 mage, by force of nathur, if not then by sunfire cape, and after that, and thurnmail, if the team is based on alot of auto attacks. if ther is two mage and two physical, startr bying the force of nathur, and then a sunfire cape. then by aegis of the legion.
now upgreat the heart of gold.
mow alot depeds on how the games goes, if u dont die, and dont have suvivle problems, by frozen mallet , and/ore atmas impalor, if not, look at what u need. if its mechic resist go by abyssal scapter, ore banshees vail, if its armor, then by the armor items.
so the itmes thats good on shen is
armor: thurnmail, sunfire cape, randuins omen.
machic resist: force of nathur, benshees vail, abyssal scapter.
other good items: atmas impaler, frozen mallet, aegis of the legion.
