The ONLY Shen Guide You Need - Season 11 - STRONGEST Top Laner?

[@Moss_Dude]

This guide told me literally nothing. Listing stats and item/skill paths isn't helpful at all, I can just look that up.

[@Oggelito_]

Agreed

Can you do Jax or Mordekaiser next?

[@wickdlol]

Will do Teemo next, but not sure which one I do after that

[@allisonsantos1808]

@@wickdlol ok bro, thanks :D

[@niclashedegaard6364]

As a shen main too i would recommend to rush the Titanic hydra as that Will help u minion farm and at the same time keep the early damage high

[@balls4839]

Im new with shen so im still a noob but i usually go for titanic hydra after the starter item and then i go for boots then sunfire and then the rest

[@Tom4tot]

Thanks for the video. Haven't you overlooked abyssal mask? In most scenarios it will be better than spirit visage I think. Maybe even better than force of nature.

[@wickdlol]

I know about Abysal Mask and I will admit there is a small chance that it's better. I have tried all the items, and overall prefer Force Of Nature the most. Movement speed is such a valueable stat in my book.

[@Tom4tot]

@@wickdlol I'd agree FON is better in most situations, and that's the case for most champs. But spirit visage doesn't bring compared to abyssal imo.

[@agoogleuser-l6u]

u missed a lot of info: -ur passive cd reduces when you affect enemy or ally with the blade -it activates after all ability casts, so q when the blade is on you, at the end of w, at the end of the e-dash, and at theend of the r-tp -using q-autoattacks gives energy back -w can block onhit effects like grasp or tf stun -ur r doesnt tp you when you get cc'd, because its a channeling ability -you can also build anything on shen, depending on the matchup, like divine sunderer, riftmaker, ect. -fleet is a good rune on shen, especially against ranged matchups, to heal from minions, and phase rush with ignite against singed is a lot of fun

[@notVikkg]

Don't go Titanic, you don't need it, its a shitty iten without the active now, and you can't burst people with it, Aegis will be all you need for wave clear if you are opting for it(i personally dislike it, especially because it fucks your carrying potential), now if you want to go the big boy build, you either go Divine Sunderer or Frostfire Gauntlet, these two mythics will be the only damage you will need Frostfire will give you wave clear, Sunderer will make you do decent damage to towers, your choice, after that you go Tank, if your feeling comfortable, you can maybe put a Sterak's there. For AP matchups you mostly wanna go Visage for your first defensive iten, as it gives you sustain and bigger shields, if you have an AP opponent, but is not matched up against him, always opt for Force of Nature, as it's way better later than Visage. AD Matchups is simple. Randuin's for non-healing, Bramble for Healing(Yes bramble, you do not need to finish Thornmail early). I'm a Diamond 2 Shen One trick with Master Peak of 123 LP. In conclusion, you will not learn how to play Shen by watching this video, you will not learn how to play Shen by reading my text, but hopefully by doing both, you will understand how versatile of a champion he is, and there's so much more behind the curtain than just a Taunt.

[@sparten2799]

ight thanks for your input :)

[@rickylucis9528]

I have stopped playing for like 4-5 month and just start to pick up the game 2 weeks ago. Still adapting toward the new items and i play Shen quite a often too. And since this Aegis is more expensive than the Cape one, i prefer to go with the New Gauntlet, the sloe effect is quite good for dragging/hiting ur Q. Even with the cost reduction of Titanic, not having the active ability is a big downside, and i'm agree with you, that it's quite not worth purchasing anymore, we have to try hard again with wave clear using the passive of Gauntlet/Aegis. There's no much change for handling AD damage. But for AP damage, maybe i should really , this time, try out the Force of Nature, i'm quite qurious with the speed buff from the item.

[@antoniokon711]

Hello Wickd, is your champion pool guide still viable in season 11?

[@DaTon98]

first and thanks for the guide ♥

[@starwindm8810]

Always look forward to your guides. Any chance you could do a S11 Ajax in the near future?

[@kostaskorbetis9340]

Jax takes no skill at all, just spam e q

[@hmoobhawj3213]

Short and simple! Yes I like it!

[@wickdlol]

Yay! Thank you!

[@aryaparvizi8755]

I don't get it what's an "empowered" q and how do you trigger it? do we have different effects on q? not following

[@benikegaming]

Short are simple guides are the best guides

[@wickdlol]

Glad you like them!

[@Mello675]

“Everything you need to know....” posts 5 minute video....

[@catfood4142]

wait why not attack speed rune? since you rarely build much of it, it should be very efficient right???

[@wickdlol]

Empowered Q gives you a massive Attack Speed buff which makes AD better

[@TheMashmeister]

Hey dude, just a suggestion that might help you improve your guides since they are aimed for lower Elo , Spectate games from your viewers and regulars so you can better understand what drives them to do mistakes and what are the common mistakes. that way your guides would surrey improve if you touch on this matters , I really like you as streamer I think you are one of the best top laners and that is why am gonanbe honest and not just praise the guide. it is well made and visually appealing, but its just telling you shens spells. and stuff many players know. I think you should be showing us how to think as players and how to make game plans. cause honestly my dude this is more like a champion spotlight rather than a guide. this is how I feel about your guides and why I stopped watching them. I was really hoping you would make guides for game planning and strategy , choosing when its a good idea to side lane and when its not. anyway good day ^^

[@erzerezrezrezreze]

well I've not played shen since his rework, but this guide made me interested. Maybe he'll do an advanced guide in the future

[@wickdlol]

Hello Darkgod thank you very much for all the feedback! I really do appreciate it. The main goal with this guide is to slowly make it more and more advanced via a playlist format. That way I can teach everyone what they need to know 1 step at a time. It's important that everyone understand the advanced guide or it won't do very well.

[@minaminosuechi468]

Hi, could you do shen matchup videos?

[@alimosa1610]

Just go to xPetu on KZbin, he’s the number 1 Shen player and has so many videos guides and videos with every matchup

Thanks gona try it out!!! New viewer

[@kagamiyoshida6025]

You're not going grasp all the time,against lane bullies or ranged you going footwork set up for movement speed and continuous sustain in Lansing phase , you'll not hit grasp proc too much anyway against ranged

[@Ace-xf2yd]

Seems awkward to utilize, you really get the most stat numberz wise out of the standard rune page

[@gwennmariegonzales9667]

River Shen best Shen

[@Amirhosseindev]

i actually thought its just a click bait because it was only 5 mins given that i know how to play shen but i wanted some extra tips . overall i think your guide is one of the BEST guide's i've ever seen thnks . and keep up the good work bro a lot better then 30 mins guide's which are usless inextend

[@wickdlol]

Thanks a lot bro. We try our hardest to keep everything short, concise and have extra videos with more in depth stuff if someone desires it.

[@Amirhosseindev]

@@wickdlol thats actually very good content thnks alot

How about energy management? Is there any way to recover some like with zed or something?

He doesn't say it but the empowered autos after twilight assault give energy

[@janefrancinerevina4774]

Is Camille Guide next?

[@wickdlol]

I think next might be Teemo

[@danispiquette7191]

theres so much better options than sunnfire its really not the best on shen and you ALWAYS always buy hydra second after mythic

[@wickdlol]

Feel free to name a single item that is better than Sunfire in the average situation. Also you don't always buy Hydra second after the Mythic item. That's bad.

[@Ace-xf2yd]

@@wickdlol gauntlet, divine sunderer, and even rarer the support shield mythic ive yet to ever consider riftmaker but maybe it could be good against a really bad matchup like morde

Who needs another shen guide when you have xpetu our lord and saviour

[@lucagaratti]

the guide seems nice, but why show a game with lvl 6 vs lvl 3?

[@gimmeornnskin8993]

I think titanic hydra Sucks it cost way too much gold and it doesnt even have the burst active anymore also shen doesnt have ad scalings

[@Ace-xf2yd]

Its very useful in the right circumstances, but feels bad if things spiral out of control

[@perchilla2360]

Thank you♥

[@juandissimo90]

Well allright!!!!! I appreciate this

[@Noraka]

Btw for the empowered q using a q will ALWAYS make the q empowered so you can use it even without going through enemies. Bringing the q through enemies will slow them but it is not necessary if you just want the empowered q (such as to help csing or short trades). I did not know this for a while just a tip for everyone out there.

[@wickdlol]

If you get it through enemies it's stronger than if you only use Q. That's why I mainly call it empowered only if it goes through enemies.

[@Noraka]

@@wickdlol Correct me if I'm wrong but reading the ability (in the league client) it does not mention that it does more damage, it only slows. I may be wrong tho. If it actually does more damage then riot needs to fix the description

[@daroid7]

Is it okay to build an item that fits to attacking enemy champions, For example, the enemy has 4 magic champions, i cant buy Thornmail so i'll have to buy magic def items. Thanks.

[@kreatya8052]

Frostfire gauntlet is actually very good on Shen, too. Especially when you are winning the lane. Frostfire can let you run people down. E taunt Frostfire slow Q slow Frostfire slow Q slow. It really tilts people. Bonus health is also nice.

[@funfofa]

Strongest top laner? Lol no. That would be Corki
