Champion Review: Shen

[quote=B-Wong]Welcome to my 2nd champion review! This one will be typed at 10:37 or so on an iTouch so forgive me if it gets a little sloppy, I will make some edits tomorrow when I have access to a computer. As you can see this one is about Shen the fat ninja. Overview: Shen is a strong, arguably the best, tank. Passive: Ki Strike Makes farming a hell of a lot easier than if this wasn't the passive. Also is one of the only reasons why he can still be a damage threat in fights. Great for turret pushing so overall, great utility overall and it's on a fairly short cooldown so much damage to be spreaded. Vorpal Blade The regen is negligable but it helps you farm, damage/harass, mark an enemy because pinging just isn't enough,and nab some early tower hugger kills. Feint Basically a shield. Les you tank turrets, take more hits after you taunt into a team fight. Pretty frickin' awesome to keep things in a nutshell. Shadow Dash AoE taunt. Around 2 seconds. Sexy as fuck, need I say more? Oh yea, IT'S A FUCKING TAUNT. Fuuuuuuuu I forgot the name of his ult -_- but whatever! It's generally referred to as the ass saver because that's what you do with this. Playstyle importances: MAP AWARENESS,MUST HAVE IT FOR YOUR ULT OR ELSE THAT'S BAD. MAP AWARENESS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD AND A BAD SHEN!!!!! Other than that, taunt feint then vorpal blade spam to do as much damage as you can in team fights. Shen is a great, challenging, but most of all: fun champion to play and if you're looking for a strong, straight up tank, I'd suggest Shen because for 3150, he's practically a steal A+[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]its called stand united also, i would vote shen an A- ap shen is really fun you should try it some time :O[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]Shen is one of my new favorite tanks :D Only thing keeping him from number 1 is that he can't jungle[/quote]

[quote=Gigaffect]A good Shen rarely loses a match. If you are consistently saving your allies asses, the enemy will be so underfed they'll just surrender. @PotatisFarfar And he gets banned in ranked all too often.[/quote]

[quote=Diesel]I prefer Amumu over Shen, but I'll never complain if one is on my team. ;)[/quote]

[quote=Nero Le Grand]Shen.. Problably my next hero, just don't know if ill buy him or kassadin.. since i can't buy both at the moment I think i'll go for.. :( can't make a choise :([/quote]

[quote=Ernil]Shen probably is one of the best ACTUAL tanks in the game - not talking about mordekesier or any "similar" tanks like that since they have zero team defence. Next one is Amumu but then again where have you seen an amumu in a ranked game lately :P?[/quote]

[quote=grimuletz][quote=B-Wong] Vorpal Blade The regen is negligable but it helps you farm, damage/harass, mark an enemy because pinging just isn't enough,and nab some early tower hugger kills.[/quote] I really appreciate your insight on Shen, as he's my fav. champion. However, I have to disagree with one thing. FB->Early game -- A Vorpal blade on a big creep (the cannon-like one) is pure magic to your hp regen. If Shen is the only one hitting the creep, he can use VBlade twice. If his teammate needs heal too, one VBLade per 'cannon creep' isn't enough for significant healing. [quote=caucheka] ap shen is really fun you should try it some time [/quote] I've always wanted to try AP Shen. I'm so friggin curious. Will do it as soon as I get at least one decent tank in my team.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=PotatisFarfar] Shen is one of my new favorite tanks :D Only thing keeping him from number 1 is that he can't jungle[/quote] Dude... He's one of the best junglers in the game.. He's frickin' awesome at it. Check him out at Stonewall08's jungle tier list or his youtube channel.[/quote]

Next one is Amumu but then again where have you seen an amumu in a ranked game lately :P? [/quote] What's wrong with Amumu in ranked? I usually play him and i go jungle... In that way i cover 2 critical team places on team, i'm extremly good tank, i gank as hell, i' jungle... Do i need anything more to say?[/quote]
