However I know that this is where the majority of rivershen players will be congregating so I need your help.

Rivershen was likely community created on some subreddit that no one has heard of but skilled and aggressive players can pull it off.

I am not really either of these so can I get any advice from someone who actually plays this?

Coming from a Shen main, It's effective as long as you can reliably land your taunt. Also, start doran's blade and then build BORK, because lifestealing off of the scuttlecrab is vital to maintaining health inbetween ganks.

Wait this is a play style? I thought river Shen was a nickname for scuttle crab...

It is, and it has the highest skillcap of any I have ever seen. (like, don't do it unless you are high diamond or smurfing)

Even more then the jungle puppy (tags along with the jungler to help him in everything he does, takes the smaller monsters while the jgler gets the buffs and ganks with him)

River Shen is illusive.

Whether you are talking about how to do it or the actual thing itself I am not sure but I nailed down what it is for you all (and for me because I need help at it :3)
