Overall a good guide. You did mention adapting to the enemy team briefly, but overall it seems like this build would be far more effective against an AD heavy team than one more focused on AP. Relying on Merc Treads and an early Aegis will get you some of what you need, but it might be worth noting that throwing in even a Negatron Cloak early for a boost in MR, even if you don't finish it into anything until later. I'm not a huge fan of Warmog's Armor, partially because of the cost, and partially because someone with a Madred's Bloodrazor can take you down way faster than I like, but it's still viable, and more of a matter of preference.

His first several items are Aegis, Randuin's, and Sunfire...THEN the Thornmail. If you didn't find this viable, it's because either you had a bad team matchup, whether that be a team that was ripping yours apart or teammates that were ineffective, or it's because you just can't play Shen. This is a very viable and rather safe way to play him, I've had very good success building him very similarly.

In general the items are the right choice for Shen. But the problem is, that you go Mercury's Treads - Aegis of the Legion - Randuin's Omen - Sunfire Aegis.
With that high armor you call Force of Nature a situational item only; you even seem to pick Thornmail rather than that.

You should really get FoN earlier, maybe before Sunfire Aegis, cause if you got lots of armor and low MR the armor is for no use anyway. In most matches you have to keep a balance between armor and MR.

i just bought shen :3 ganna try the build out...i love tanks, so i know ill love shen.


~gragas?. . . Barrel?. . ."You have slave an enemy". . .Ffffffuuuuuuu~

Thank you for the feedback. I'll take that into consideration when updating this build.

See above.

Using your Shen Build for my first attempt with him will let you know soon

EDIT: I found the build very unusable. The expense of the early items all without enough health made it painful. What's the point of a thorn mail if you don't have the HP to withstand blows. Make it more viable and I'll change my vote.
