Frozen Mallet: Shen OP?

I just finished a game where I built FM instead of the obligitory Titanic Hydra second. Never have I felt more cumbersome for the enemy team. the utility was amazing, and it was 400g cheaper than the Titanic.

Might we think about using this on shen jungle more often?

I would say so normally, but I felt one game just like, maybe I should be more utility focused, im not splitting so much as teamfighting out of the jungle, and it REALLY helps hold down people when you dont have taunt, in the midgame when taunt isnt up so much its pretty sweet.

This doesn't mean it overshadowed the glory of TH, but something Id like to see more people trying out.

frozen mallet is good but, have you tried the rylai ? His Q proc the passif and your taunt too. Plus, you gain tankyness ( More HP and A bigger Ki Barrier), 1,5% more missingHP damage on your Q and a bigger shield on his ultimate. Shen profit more from rylai than frozen mallet in my opinion^^. What's your tought?

Just played a game with Rylais, 2% increase to base Q damage and dslows Felt really powerful, just about the same health as FM build, peel was real

I run 5% cdr in blues, may push that up to higher CDR, perhaps scaling as Shen has some pretty nice scaling MR with levels. the Q damage increase is solid, though he loses a bit in the passive shield its the difference of like, 20hp? but makes up for it with his Stand Together shield increase. all in all I like it, and its a much more solid damage increase over runic. so far, I think Ive nailed the build down to Cinderhulk, Rylais, Locket, Randuins, <shoes> and a finisher like warmogs, or dmp, or banshess depending.
