Introduction

Shen is actually one of my favorite supports next to maokai and zyra. He has a lot of potential as one too. Shield, Percentage damage, Blocks AA's, Taunts, and shields ally and teleports, sounds like a great support to me. As long as you communicate with your ADC and jungler, you should survive laning phase if you dont win it. In this guide im just going to talk about how to play Shen support and what not to do. I hope you enjoy this guide and it helps you win matches in the future.

Items

I build Face of the Mountain first every time. I just about always get Mercury treads for the tenacity but if they have a lot of AD get Ninja Tabi. Sunfire Cape, Warmogs Armor, and Spirit Visage are three other items i get every time. Randuins Omen is great if they have a draven or Yasuo, and Banshees Veil if they have mostly AP champs. Locket of the Iron Solari is great if their team has a lot of AP and AD power and helps protect your ADC or other carry.

Skill Sequence

Start e first to tank the jungle leash. Shens q is the first max for the damage output to win trades. Get e maxed second to tank the adc unless its draven or teemo, then max w second.

Pros / Cons

[Pros]
Great protection when you hit level 6
Makes people focus him
Percentage Health damage
Blocks AA's
Great all ins
[/Cons]
Long early game cooldowns
Weak against cc based supports(Alistair, Nautilus, etc)
If you miss your e the other team gets lots of free damage

Team Work

It is so important that you communicate with your team. It's best if your ADC and jungle are friends that you can talk to the whole time but if they're not than just tell them before you go in. You can get great ganks off with your e to buy time for your jungle to close in. Your ADC can get a good amount of damage off on their ADC if you hit your e's, but your team has to be ready. Communication is key.
