[quote=Bryun][quote=Temzilla] [quote=Bryun] Would it be possible he can be considered an anti-carry? (Dash skill, Mini stealth) BURST PLS? He seems like more of a champion with 'energy' cause he's a monkey ^^ [/quote] If his abilities Scale with AD, it's very possible. His skill set feels a bit like Vayne's honestly. Dash in with Nimbus, AA, Hit Q for likely auto attack timer reset, hit them, if they are low, stay in and ult for the kill, and then hit some more people with ult, and W away whenever shit gets bad. He seems like a medium skill cap champion, but he looks really fun. [/quote] Yeah, he does look fun, but I'm hoping he's a monkey ninja anti-carry. (I'm pretty fond of them.... anti-carries and ninjas...) But I'd be fine if he was just a carry type champion as well.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]well he just sounds like a good champ for energy.. we don't know how powerful his skills are yet so we'll see. plus shen is a tank with energy.. anyway w/e we'll wait and see.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@caucheka: Shen is essentially a Tank with assassin properties. He uses his Taunt to dash and catch you, and his Vorpal Blade + Passive damage is his burst. But this is all below his tank role, which is to catch targets FOR his allies to kill, and deal decent damage so enemies can't ignore him. Tanks are essentially beefy casters. Their kits are made to be used all at once. Shen -> Taunt, Blade+Passive attack for burst. Alistar -> Headbutt + Pulverize -> Spam heals. Amumu -> Bandage Toss -> Ult -> Turn on Despair + Tantrum The only champion that defies this pattern is Tank Jarvan, who scales with AD. But, Riot recognizes he's just an overloaded Tanky DPS champion. (Though, they're pushing him closer to tank then tanky dps)[/quote]

[quote=Chaotic Bliss]I couldnt watch the vid >.> But this guy looks like fun. Ill wait to see what he can do before I comment on how I would build him.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Philo stone, merc treads, Triforce, Ghostlade, possible hextech gunblade if he has AP/AD ratios. Definitely an Atmog champ or a potential Atmog champ.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@Chaotic Bliss: I believe I used the wrong link, but I fixed it now. Somehow, I ended up using a video that was private. Very odd...[/quote]

[quote=Miraisen]If I can somehow manage to jungle with him, I will. He looks pretty interesting, but his skills all remind me of others. On hit extra damage like poppy, stealth like leblanc's passive/shaco clone, charge like xin zhao, and spin2win ultimate.[/quote]

[quote=theBMB]I kinda wish his auto attack had a little more ranged than a standard melee attack, Something like the range of eve's ravage would be appropriate, especialy since he has a pole that increases in length. I'm thinking that he's pretty similar to xin, so you can build him very similar, although with a little bit more defense.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]I'd say build him like Pantheon - capitalize on early game deeps. Doran's Blades into Brutalizer. Then branch off into perhaps Bloodthirster and then Atma's+Warmog's or Atma's+Frozen Mallet. He's very ability oriented and the first champion he reminded me of was Lee Sin, which explains why I want to build them similarly. Atmog's seems strong if he has AD ratios, which he should, and early Brut also seems strong.[/quote]

Youmuu's and at least one defensive item (or atmog's) are pretty much core for melee DPS.[/quote]
