Shen is an insane duelist as tank, but as ap Shen you become a poke god with damage equal to that of a cougar tearing your wiener off.

Just pick up some standard ap mid runes, scaling quins for more late game dominance and larger shields on your ult.

Nothing to special here, just basic Shen stat distribution. Pick up q early for poke and sustain damage.

Pretty basic, all you need is some ap from the offense tree, then take a bite out of the tank tree.

The pros of ap Shen:
Much shields
Lots damage
such wow!
The cons of ap Shen:
Sacrifices some dueling potential.
Many people will assume you are the tank in champion select.
Your kill potential is non existent without ignite or jungle pressure.

Farming with ap Shen is simple: If you are against a pokey mid loner with a *****, you need to stand back and sacrifice some cs. Farm with your q, don't save it for trades, save your shield for the poke.

If you don't have map awareness, DO NOT PLAY SHEN!

Ap Shen is just an all out god of ranked play. I do not recommend trying this build in ranked first though, go for a normal or a custom game with a friend.

Ap Shen is an asset to the team. If you can make it past the toxic ********s and children, you will carry your team to victory 75% of the time.
