Shen's current state

What do you guys think about Shen right now? Is he is a good spot? What is the best build for him? Also why do people build titanic hydra? Wouldn't a Bork be better since it does percent hp damage along with Shen's q? Plus it can help to make his attacks more fluid since his attack speed would've higher?

item 3748 item 3068 item 3065 with boots of your choice and fill in the other two items depending on what's good against your opponents. I highly recommend trying to get more CDR into the build somewhere. item 3083 is a decent option for this. item 3190 item 3158 are decent options as well.

Shen does fine right now, as his global ultimate is fairly difficult for people to deal with most of the time. People build Titanic hydra because typically you stack health on Shen as it scales well with his kit, and then Titanic hydra naturally makes him even stronger. The average full build shen is pushing 5k hp, and that makes the titanic hydra active deal nearly 600 damage, not to mention the passive cone cleaving dealing an additional 200 or so on each auto attack.

Shen is in a fine spot right now.. Think of him as ''balanced'' . Not op or extremely weak.

People go titanic hydra because it gives him waveclear ( something he does NOT have ) . Also ive tested both Bork and titanic hydra and i can tell you right now, Bork gives you more sticking power to an enemy, Titanic hydra is just too good because you get a lot of health from it. That 450 will offset the attack speed.

You can go bork if you need the sticking power but i recommend titanic ( NOT FIRST. NEVER FIRST BUY )

He doesnt have a best build. Just get a sunfire cape --> Merc treads/ninja tabi --> Spectres cowl --> Titanic hydra. Thats the usual build

Yes wits end is good on him. But if you go wits end then you need to have higher health. I recommend Banshees over wits IMO. Banshees is just too good considering you're a tank and that spellshield can save your life and absorb a CC

I had about 140 Ranked Shen myself, and just can't bring myself to play him anymore. I hated the Rework.

All they had to do was give a higher CD on his Old Q, and if they didn't like the Shield then do a Shen-centric AoE Dodge on his W (or keep the Shield and make it Scale off HP).

Done. That was it. Instead, they did this stupid crap.

I hate him. He was my Main since Pre-Season 4, over a 62.5% Win Rate and over a 4.25 KDA with him... and now I won't ever play him again.

Just give me Old Shen back.
