Quoted:
There is a fatal math flaw in your work that must be addressed

Durability This will give you around 125 hp at level 18, not a bad haul eh?

It actually gives 108 not 125.

Also what lane are you playing in? for new readers this is a key thing. What I have learned is write like they know it but also don't. So simply write what lane your in. Blade of the Ruined King? Usually shen should build tanky cause he doesn't scale with AD on his spells. I know it can be nice but magic damage is surprisingly one of the better ways to go IMO. Also add alternative runes IE: Greater Seal of Scaling Health or Greater Mark of Attack Speed. I would suggest counters also as it should be listed due to the fact that it's not jungle Shen. But it's very sound in the areas you have written except for these few thing that could be used to improve it.


Sorry, I orignally meant that combined with Veteran's Scars it will give you around 130 hp.

As for lane, I did mention in search tags that its top lane, but its my first time so I will add it as well.

Blade of the Ruined King I am already tired of explaning that its a situational item and you can get Warmog's Armor or Abyssal Mask or Frozen Heart instead of it.It all depends on what you want and what the situation demands.

Quoted:
My general feeling is that it's not long enough for my taste. May want to add a matchup section for example.

I really dunno about the MR quints to be fair. There are plenty of other choices that are better but idc too much about that.

The Attack speed / onhit build is fine with me, pretty much like the old Irelia could work but it lacks magic resistance really hard since Wit's end is so ineffective at the moment. If the enemy runs magic pen he's gonna hit with true damage below 120 MR which is quite huge.

Masteries are really weird...
Fist of all your combo is impossible. You cannot take block without putting 2 points in the previous mastery, it's just a bug with the mobafire build. But this tells me you either made this up or payed 0 attention which is quite sad. Nevertheless, Relentless is really inefficient anyways. Grab 2 in Unyielding instead and finish in one with Defender . The first one is necessary and the second a one point wonder. Also Summoner's Wrath > 1 % CDR if you run Ignite.

Best regards,

I'm Lord & Master


I didnt make it long, for one reason due to the fact that user skips most content and also due to time shortage I had. I could have added alternative items, runes, masteries, and what not, but I wanted my guide to be to the point.

Build lacks magic resist that's why i take MR runes, i think you acknowleged that yourself.

Well as for masteries, yes you can take Block I think. I cannot check it atm (I have exams and paper tomorrow), but I am pretty sure about that. It wouldnt let me put it if it was that way.

Err, you just told me Relentless is inefficient, since when is CC reduction inefficient? Mind explaining your point?

Anyways, thanks for your feedback, remember its my first time so ease up on me :D

Regards,

AF

I'd put the summoners spell chapter a few chap's earlier, so you have like a: from the basics to the depth kind of thingy.

Aside from that, every thing is great.


Once again, thanks for feedback.

I have written in the guide that its a situational item, I get it in the very end. For pure AD bonus, but I have often replaced it with Abyssal Mask due to the fact that Abyssal Mask fits perfectly with Sunfire Aegis passive. I have used Frozen Heart in its place as well. Once again, you can see I have written that its not necessary to get this item, you can swap it, with what, is your choice. :}

I have played a bit of Shen and I like your guide.
Personally, I disagree with the lack of Warmog's Armor
The passive regen from warmog's is insane, and you get so much health to make your Ki Strike kill.
Personal opinion. Also, I don't really like Frozen Mallet. I think the Randuin's Omen active and Shadow Dash is more than enough cc and the extra item space can be used for ta-da Warmog's Armor
You do support your points well. Your build makes sense. Plus, you don't say things like "Duh, you get this because __" You fully explain each choice.
+1 from me and best of luck on Moba.

First of all, thanks for the +1 and the feedback.

The Warmog's Armor will just give you alot of health without any AD, that will make your enemies run away from you and focus your carries, we do not want that.

Frozen Mallet gives 700 hp plus a much needed passive. If you ahve played shen, you would know movement speed is stuck at 380, that means champions like Garen or Master Yi can run away from you easily. Even their carries like teemo[[ can run awa which is not good at all. once [[shen has initiated a fight, you will find the opponent running away, and to slow him down we need Frozen Mallet slow. As for Shadow Dash it has a long CD, by the time which you will find enemy champion is out of range.

Randuin's Omen will give you 500 hp as well, (that's 1200 hp now instead of the usual 1000 from warmog) ples another great passive. As team tank, tou will suffer the most damage, and you need to slow the opponents down in order for your carries to rip them apart. This is what this item does. I think this will hopefully answer your queries.
