New shen sucks in my opinion. Riot forced him to have to build only tank to even do well. no more devourer on-hit shen, or even triforce shen.

It fucking blows, whats up with riot reworking carry based champs Sion Fiora Poppy Shen into utility based full tanks, who can hardly carry a bronze 5 game? While also completely destroying any chance of a off build working? Makes me wonder what they will do to warwick...

lol wut? Shen almost always built full tank. And even on the off chance you would see a triforce Shen it was super rare. Don't get your panties in a bunch

I mained devourer-on hit shen with 2-3 defensive defensive items and it worked great. Got a couple pentas with it. Now with the passive/sustain changes that build is pretty much dead.

Fiora? A utility based tank?

I'm at a loss for words.

Actually when I saw Fiora in that list, I wondered if that thread was just a troll-bait...

you new? before the rework sion was a decent carry pubstomper like tryn/yi who could be ap/ad . but then they just reworked him into a binary full tank and thats all he can do now. Thats what happened to shen and poppy now also.

He was talking pre-rework Sion.

"Fiora is a utility based full tank"

Because I see tanks build Black Cleaver and Ravenous Hydra 24/7. All with relying on their "utility" to one shot squishies if fed.

I think you're confused, friend. Only one of those champions was ever considered a carry, and she's better at it now than she was previously. Or rather, she's performing better on a consistent basis than she was previously. I wouldn't call Poppy full tank, either. She performs best as an off-tank and has rather good base damage values. She's an extremely well-rounded champ now.

Besides, I like new Shen. it plays well, his combos make a lot of sense, you have to actually pay attention to your positioning, and there's a decent mastery curve now (in the fact that one actually exists). He's even pretty fun to play in the jungle. JG Shen isn't that strong, but he gets free counter-ganks post 6 and has good target lockdown with an IBG. I would even argue that he itemizes damage better now than he did previously.
