Shen Reowork Twilight Assault to be AD

"Shen's next 3 attacks deal a percentage of their target's maximum health as bonus magic damage. If the spirit blade collides with enemy champions, those attacks deal more damage and have +50% attack speed."

There are tons of items that would support AD shen rather than AP Shen. I cannot see what the "NEW" Shen would build to make him reach his full potential. There are so much AD items that allow him to do that item 3022 item 3748 item 3153 these items are example that would extend Shen to his Maximum

"next three basic attacks to deal damage based on a portion of his target's max health" 3 times of that + this item 3153

i cannot see what AP items benefit the rework IMO he wont reach his full potential and would feel underpowered because he does not scale with AD. On top of that he is melee champion. I do not see him do well with Crystal Scepter or any AP item. Not to mention that Rod of Ages would be waste for him cause he spends money on mana so it doesn't make sense

The funny thing is item 3116 slow applies to all 3 of his Q autos.. But yeah probably not worth it.

are you saying to make the bonus damage physical or just to scale with AD?

AD-scaling magic damage seems a little bit excessive; you just as easily use physical onhit items to keep his damage mixed up well.

item 3116 item 3025 Shen Laughing

really poor choice

  1. SLOW DOES NOT STACK - its applied only the strongest slow and does not stack with other slows
  2. you spent too much gold on mana items. item 3057 + item 3024 = item 3025
  3. A champion that have 2 types of damage is ok as most of the champions have 2 types of damage.
  4. Assuming shen Applies his Q 3 times. Thats 3 times the duration slow. Frozen Mallet is permanent slow. If you taunt with Rylai the enemy wont be affected cause they are already in taunt which cancels the slow effect

Shen scales with Health and AD shen would have much biggest choice of utilities. There are tons of AD items that provide health stat to support his health scaling. AP items are poor in that choice. For instance item 3027 - health + mana - waste gold on mana item 3116 - if enemy is taunted why do you need them slowed? I cannot think of any other AP / Health items

ad items item 3022 Forzen Mallet is permanent slow on each basic attack and gives both health and AD. That complicates shen perfectly item 3071 health cdr ad item 3748 health ad aoe active item 3153 anti health item that compliments his new Twilight Assault Assuming it applies on hit effects item 3184 ad health true damage item 3052 early ad health that builds into other ad health items item 3044 early ad health speed item builds into other ad items

so as you see AD shen would have much more health options compared to AP Shen

And heres another reason shen should be AD champion. POOR FARMING Its easier to farm as AD rather than AP and his kid poorly affects minions. Shadow Dash does nothing to them and his Q have high cooldown. Ain't gonna be like before. Minion low? Use Ki Strike or throw a blade on it so you farm. You will not be able to do that anymore and you wont be able to farm
