Shen problem

ReaperOnDrugs··2 votes·1,275 views

Only viable way to play Shen is to get as tanky as possible, but what if I wanted to play ad/ap Shen? The problem is that he has no ranged abilities, if only he had hold-q-to-throw mechanic like Pyke. Anyone with a better idea?

Trinity Force and Legend Alacrity helos with stacking PTA really fast too. The only problem is he has to back off after stacking PTA, so he doesn't get to deal exposed damage at all.

It really adds oomf to your main combo in lane at least, high risk but very satisfying :P

Yes but why risk stacking PTA 3 times if are not going to stay in to trade for exposed damage? The whole point of PTA is to increase damage resources, shen runs out if all of his damage sources just to stack PTA only. I get it he can spam Q's with 40% CD and make use of it, but it makes him really irrellevant in the laning phase.

Or just go Conqueror considering Shen's AA based.

Thats not the Shen way my brother. If you like Shen playstyle just play Tahm Kench. He is like a better Shen overall.

You can play him as an AP bruiser. His %-health damage does scale and his shield becomes so massive that the enemy team has to kill carries 2 times
