Edited my build. This is how it looks. Balanced Tank Shen





Earlier post
Quoted:
My Shen build - Tank, Anti-AD

So this is my thread. Got past 5k characters (including bb and html), however build still doesn't pop up in search engine... anyway..
This build is not the best, the only reason I created it is because I thought it and it helped me. It can always be improved.
As the title says, it's a tank build, consisting of hp and armor, perfect for a AD enemy team.
Frozen Mallet is added just for more fun, but it gives a good hp buff. It can be easily replaced with Force of Nature (magic resist and movement speed) or another Warmog's Armor.. even an Atma's Impaler depending on one's point of view.

I only seek enlightment, so comments will be embraced.
Again, I don't think or wish my build is the best, but if IT SUCKS, please take the time to explain why.
Thank you.

hope it helps.

You don't have NEARLY enough magic resist. At less than 40, you're really squishy when you face off against mages. I can understand armor stacking on Rammus or Malphite, but not on Shen.

Warmog's is a little bit circumstantial as well, since it's not efficient until late game, by which time you'd be better off with utility.

thank you for your insight. i know i have almost no magic resist but the build was thought against an AD team and the items will vary if the team changes.

Definitely. You can't guarantee that you'll be against an AD team. Take a look at my Amumu build - I only have Sunfire and Banshee's in the main build sequence because those will pretty much be universally good items for him - but apart from that, I don't go any more in-depth into any other tank items. Only in the situational section do I discuss other choices.

(check first post--page 1)

Replaced with to get some magic resist.
Replaced with -->
(i still get magic damage --return-- if I get hit from and I boost my and with the ap from rylai; also improve hp a bit 450->500).
This way the build would be a little more balanced.

Any opinions?

I would actually stick with Sunfire and not Rylai's. The slow isn't a necessity, since your taunt should be enough. Sunfire lets you farm a lane faster, and any good late-game Shen should be farming as far away from his team as possible in order to force the opposing team into a bad position.

Advice taken in consideration. Will edit the build as soon as I manage to get some spare time. TY.
Would also be interested in playing a match with (or against) you Jebus, whenever you have some time at hand. Make note that I've never played any ranked game so far, but my reflexes are --let's say-- acceptable, however I don't think I'll be much of a threat.
-- main account is on EU -- crumbsy's the name, tanking's the game (well at least when I am able to)

Later edit>>
quick question
On a diff. champ, let's say Pantheon, if I wanna bring down a tank, should I go (as you stated in your guide) for Last Whisper or should i pick Madred's Bloodrazor ??
ty in advance!

Depends a lot. Last whisper is generally superior unless you're playing more of an AS champ like Kog'Maw. Note also that LW supports AD abilities with its AD and ArP while Bloodrazor does not.

Hey, DEWO, isn't linking to builds allowed in this forum, as long as you're not advertising? :(
