sejuani is going to do probably what you are going to do...farm to lvl 6...she won't be counter jungling a lot or getting ganks pre-6, but you can, if you are smart, so u probably gonna be ok in this matchup...late game though, watch out for her ulti...
Pantheon
early game he is gonna be a nightmare to deal with....late game....PLZZZ he isnt even relevant if he hasn't got a huge early game advantage by that stage of the game...so u outscale him pretty hard...
Nunu & Willump
u are basically two tanks bashing at each other....watch out for his counter-jungling though...you outscale him late game as nunu, but he buffs and zones better than u...when u see him ulti, taunt him immedietly...
Fiddlesticks
what is he going to do to u?? silence, terrify and back away....if he stays for drain (which he wont), just taunt him and u will be good to go....late game WARD A LOT, so u dont be caught out by his ulti...
Rammus
he is a ganking armadillo...damn, he is going to fast to catch up with him... but u both reach the late game with the same goals....make sure u punish if he counterjungles...and PEEL for ur adc and apc at ALL times... Ward the entrances of ur jungle..
Amumu
early he is going to farm like u do as well, but once he hits 6, his ganks become deadly...late game try to dodge his q and when u find an opportunity (while he stuns someone else and ULTS), TAUNT the other members of the enemy team so they dont follow up on his ulti...
Aatrox
late game he falls-off but early to mid game, he wins trades with you easily...try to avoid him early, counter-attack his gank etc.
Dr. Mundo
he is kinda of a threat to you all game long because of his cleavers dealing percent health and his W with cinderhulk(or sunfire)...he is a pain, but if you peel for ur adc, the adc will take him down for u ;)
Evelynn
yes she outdamages u, but u outscale her late game, where teamfighting is more important.....WARD CAMPS for evelynn, and also PINK WARD your flanks, as this is where her power comes mostly from... otherwise, u are good to go...
Elise
aouch......early to mid game she outdamages u, she ganks better that u and she counter-jungles you without you being able to respond....OH, I FORGOT...she deals PERCENT DAMAGE to you...and you are a tank....AOUCH..... AVOID THIS MATCH-UP
Skarner
haven't played skarner, haven;t seen skarner in a long while as a jungler...but i guess he outdamages you and maybe outscales you late game...but if you peel, he wont be able to reach the damage source of your team ^_^
Shaco
now shaco is just an annoying pain in the ***....all he is going to do is RUIN your day and mess with your jungle and your early-mid game....late game stay close to your adc, wait till his clone comes out, then taunt them both...u can soak up the damage...ur adc can;t :/ if you do that, you win against him. don't try to catch him though....pretty slippery..
Gragas
he basically does a better job at stun a guy from your team..what's worse? he ults that guy and sends him back to his team...now you are in a 4v5 :/
the only way to make him pay is by counter-attack him while his ganking, u ulti on your teammate getting attacked and it evens up the play-field...but generally, watch out...he has more damage even though his is tanky...
Kindred
kindred is a pain for u....u are a tank yes, but his passive (plus he is going to buy botrk against u, mind u) gives him the tool to deal against tanks...plus he has more damage that you could ever possibly dream of, even in the earlier stages of the game...stay safe, play with your team..catch him if possible but dont try to hard..wait for his hop, then engage...otherwise, just peel for ur carries like you always do best ^_^
Rengar
Rengo is gonna pose a threat early to mid game to you, later he cant one shot you, and if he goes for you, you have done your job....but let's face it, if he is smart, he is going for the carries...as soon as you see the ! mark on a carry's head, go close to them...if you see him jump, E IMMEDIETLY...
Rek'Sai
he is a god jungler, but since mostly of the time he is going for tank stats, late game you gonna be a better tank than him...u can match his ulti with your ulti if you see him ganking with it ;) generally, pretty even, he has a bit more damage than you so peel and wait for a moment to strike like the ninja you are ;)
Shyvana
rarely u see a shyvana jungle anymore...but she is going for devourer and bortk if she does....she counter-jungles you hard, she doesnt outscale u but she OUTDAMAGES you at least 2 times, maybe 3 times over...late game, peel for ur adc...the adc is the one that is gonna take her down, keep the adc alive and far away from her!!!
Kog'Maw
yes, pre-season 6 is here...guess what...kog can actually "jungle"....anyway...he is so squishy he won't be counter-jungling a lot.... in a teammfight, work with your teammates...you see him?? TAUNT HIM...1.5 sec taunt and myabe a follow up cc is all you need to take that caterpillar down (SO SQUISHY)...dont give him a chance to breathe though....he spits FIRE....RAPID FIRE :(
Master Yi
he surely outdamages you at all stages of the game...your best bet? wait for his q....aim your taunt well, because he is fast....peel,peel,peel...(buy thornmail and watch him kill himself XD )
Lee Sin
another ninja-like champion, from a sense that he is slippery, fast moving and surely a threat to the weaker members of your team early...guess what? early game u are weak too, but he shines...u see him? back away....u outscale him hard late game....taunt him before he kicks your carry to his team...
Malphite
tanks bashing at each other??? a solid rock and a flipping ninja....basically u can hold your ground as well as he, and late game u shine more than him....JUST DODGE THAT ULTI with your flash...he cant gank because u just R there.....u have more map-presence...dont be afraid of him, but dont play recklessly either...
Zac
somewhat a huge blob....tanky like u, but has more damage as well...but not on the level that he is going to solo kill an adc....peel,peel,peel....early watch for his ganks in a lane, u should predict where he is going to be so you can counter-engage him...stay in your jungle though, cos he can turn the tides quickly in his favor...
Vi
she can catch-up with you pretty easily, she outdamages you but you outscale her...but that is not even the point....SHE R your carry and your carry is kinda dead....u can do anything for that either...your best bet? taunt the other members, let the support and adc fight her, and zone the other members from that small fight...early ward the entrances and dragon!!!
Udyr
GODYR.....he outruns you(you slow ninja :( ), if he goes devourer, outdamages you and outscales you in a sense that he is going to be a major threat...he counter-jungle you hard...avoid this match-up or play safe and peel for ur adc so he can't reach him....
Jax
new devourer jax-guinshoo is SO GOOD, u are doom to extinction...he doesn't care u are a tank...he is going to melt you down too...AVOID......AT ALL COSTS...he outclasses you in everything (damage, ganks, split-push, late game monster with ulti for tank stats and damage...)
Kha'Zix
haven't seen him for a while now :/ my guess is he outtrades you early game to mid game....late game he is going for ur carries, so peel for them and you win...(he can't do anything other than jump to them, but if your reactions are fast enough, you squash that bug :P )
Warwick
mild threat to you...he outtrades you all game long...but his ulti is so telegraphed...you know he is going for carries...so what do you do? you E him and cancel him out...keep close to your carries and live in your jungle...ward the entrances and smite your WOLF so you know if he is counterjungling so ur team can set up a gank (he has no escapes)
Nocturne
if he goes devourer(most of the time) he outdamages-outtrades and outscales you....but you are a better teamfighter in a sense that you can ulti the carry he is going for plus u taunt him afterwards and gg....dont engage on him and watch out for his shield blocking your taunt...
Volibear
his job is run at your team...what do you do best??? peel and soak up the damage!!!
in other words,in a teamfight, stay close to your carries and you win...but watch out...you can't fight him in jungle, ward the entrances and stay defensive....
Jarvan IV
my only concern with j4 is that he has the longest engage in the game and can reach your carries no matter what...so what you want to do varies with their teamcomp...if he R ur carry and the other enemy members are going to wombo combo the hell out of ur team, you taunt THEM, not j4...if he build damage (rarely), u taunt him while you stay outside of the wall preferably :/ otherwise, pretty even match-up in all aspects...you outscale him late game ;)
Nidalee
u outscale her so hard late game.....u are an impenetrable wall to her, so u block her spears without u taking any damage (Build spirit first, and maybe a banshees) with your W and mr ;) ... early to mid, dont engage her in jungle....ward the entrances...late game if she goes rambo mode (cougar and pounce into your carries), punish her with your e and she is done for....
Welcome to my first guide in MOBAFIRE!!! I am George Ananas, a currenly unranked (by choice xD) member of the EUNE server!! I have studied most of the guides here in MOBAFIRE, but I haven't yet made a guide of my own, even though I play League since the first season...So, here I am, making a guide for SHEN jungle, a most unorthodox choice by many, but bare with me and you might change your mind about it (or you just want to try something different, like me) !! ;) it is an off-meta pick (since tank junglers are lacking damage) but opens up possibilities for having a three-threats team comp while your support and you going for tank and peel to keep everyone safe, while they deal all the damage in the world...
Since this is my first Guide, I know it is not perfect, but please leave a comment for suggestions to alternative builds/runes/masteries and maybe even a tip for the guide in general....THANK YOU and hope that you enjoy reading and playing with SHEN in the jungle!!! ;P
Pros / Cons
Pros / Cons
Pros:
- Super Tank with a shield and sustain
- Hard cc that can be used as a jump throw walls as well
- Can peel pretty effectively
- Map Presence in the form of his ulti, which shields the ally as well!
- Pretty healthy in the first clear
Cons:
- Lacks damage (damage output, non-existant/non-relevant (especially late game)
- You gonna be flamed for picking shen as a jungler (and not as a top/support)
- Has some very hard match-ups that requires him to play passive/defensively most of the time (or counter-react to them)
- Requires good team synergy or at least good team communication
- Not the best at securing objectives (through an extra execute other than Smite ofc..)
Ranked Play
Ranked Play
Haven't tried it at ranked (mostly because I am waiting for the season 6 to begin), but I am imagining that he can be good in the right team comp (three-threats team comp), can be unexpected and also quite frustrating playing against him.....needs practise though and good team communication/synergy, so it may not be as effective in lower ranked divisions like bronze/silver....but definitely is fun to play ^_^
Creeping / Jungling
Creeping / Jungling
SO you want to start with Krugs (SMITE at the start...) hopefully with a teammate helping you a bit at the start <3 -> head to Raptors (kill the small ones first, they deal the most damage :P ) -> either you take the scuttle on the riverside for a bit of extra health/sustain or you go straight to the red buff and you smite it when you need your health ;P
Afterwards either you gank if healthy, or you go back, purchase the items suggested above and you go to the Gromp (smite it) or Wolves(if you are afraid of counter-jungling, Smite the big Wolf) -> Blue buff next and afterwards see if any ganks are available to the closest lane (mid or top/bot, otherwise KEEP FARMING THE JUNGLE to reach your late game TANK potential!!!
Early game!!!
Early game!!!
SO, in the early game guess what??!!! you farm and farm like everyone should be doing.....only gank when you know that the enemy has overextended and you can get a flash off of him...
otherwise....Farm the jungle till you reach that important lvl 6 and then communicate with teammates to make a play ;P
Mid game!!!
Mid game!!!
By now you will probably have finished your cinderhulk and your boots...ward the basic objectives like Herald and Dragon (mostly Dragon) and look for gank opportunities (or teammates saves if they are in trouble) and FARM FARM FARM... if skirmishes happen, take the safest route to your carries in threat and peel for them...or if your team caught someone out, flash-taunt to secure the kill for your carries (make sure you donate the kill if possible)...make your way to your items by farming, but dont forget to gank a bit to get your lanes a lead/get them ahead.... Sightstone is ESSENTIAL (or trackers knife, as shown in the items section)
Late game ^_^
Late game ^_^
Congrats :D
You have successfully reached late game, and your tank prowess is here to stay.....you probably have finished most of your items by now, so you do what you were meant to be doing...peel, engage (as a second engage, which is preferable) and try to keep your carries safe with making the enemies' lives difficult from reaching them.... Taunt smart (focus the threats to your carries or the biggest threat in the oppossing team), Q for the damage and W for the shield WHEN THEY ARE UP AND AVAILABLE TO YOU and let your team carry you to victory....as soon as you do your job on protecting them, your carries are going to win the game for you :)
Conclusion!!!
Conclusion!!!
To sum up, this is a MOBAFIRE guide to Jungle Shen (Tank)..... although it is an off-meta pick, jungle tank SHEN offers peel and bulkiness to make a difference in a teammfight by keeping your team safe and making the lives of your enemies difficult.... give this guide and jungle Shen a chance, and you might be surprised by what brings to a team comp and how fun you will be having playing with him (and seeing the enemies raging :3 ) Thank you very much for taking the time to read this guide, and hope to see you around ^_^
