he said it, he admit he's the best Shen in the world, hat off to xPetu

[@louisrobitaille5810]

I mean… There aren't that many Shen players in Challenger across all regions and even less than that legit play any build, any role (ok maybe not ADC), and know the champion as well as him 👀.

Thought Shending Help was similar or higher ranked, but it's been a while since I followed League.

[@Y_R_U_running]

23:25 the afk technology. for real though: its so underrated! so many times i see the full HP tanks hiding somewhere in backline standing behind ADC or sth and waiting for their play or cleanup or whatever... when the best play would simply be tanking dmg. im lower ELO so its happening even more down here xD btw love the ending here. some trashtalk going on and xpetu walks by and they just admire him "gg xpetu you are goat"

[@prettygreenbud]

It’s honestly so simple…ppl don’t play to their roles and champs purpose when. Nothing but kda players

[@Sebastian-oz1lj]

sometimes standing near adc as tank is best play lets say enemies have hyper assasyn like ekko zed something like that, good tank could stop them from killing adc by standing next to it instead engaging in fron line

[@brandonzzz9924]

Perfect score for a masters is seriously impressive! It's no wonder that you understand the math of this game and the mechanics that actually influence the outcomes of game on a level that most other professional players don't even comprehend. Consistently showing that mental mechanics are more important that physical mechanics in League might even be more impressive than a perfect Masters, but both are accomplishments for history books. You're definitely a top 3 League creator, and one of the few content creators on the whole platform that I am always in the mood to watch. Bringing clear mindedness, intellectualism, levity, constant improvement, and having genuine fun improving and optimizing your gameplay for not just yourself, but your whole team and even opponents is incredible.

[@derKischda]

It's remarkable and also only possible if you are talented, have fun and constantly learn even if you don't want to. On top of that also being the best Shen player in the world is nothing but ridiculous. The amount of people that can do that feat are probably below 10 in the world.

Congratulations on your masters classes going so well shensei Petu. I had to abandon league when I was studying my masters because there was no way for me to be good at both, but look at you! perfect grades while challenger.. the end sums it up - truly the GOAT! I did graduate with a 4.0/perfect GPA in the end, but that's in engineering which is way easier than mathematics :) it is a pleasure learning from watching your streams and vids. keep up the great content and positive attitude

[@GH-pf6mw]

i started playing shen just a month before finding your channel, and since then i got good with shen. yesterday i played a match, we won, and i got two honors, i got A+, i was like 5-3-20, and it was a very fun match. it feels bad knowing i won't play league anymore after vanguard, but i'm happy i managed to play shen well, and mostly thanks to your videos.

[@VideoGamingOfficial]

Randuin's omen doesn't apply to pantheons Q because it is just a cosmetic crit; according to the wiki, it also doesn't apply to abilities that deal BONUS damage with a critical strike (even if it's increase with infinity edge), but only abilities that deal MODIFIED damage or that are treated like a basic attack. I think the difference between modified and bonus damage is weird and it's hard to know what kind an ability is without just looking it up. So for example, against a Garen Q, if the attack is a crit, it reduces the damage of the base attack, which is increased due to it being a crit, but the Q itself applies bonus damage which doesn't crit and isn't reduced by randuins; Garen's E, however, is ALSO not reduced by randuins omen because while it does do crits based on critical strike chance and scaling with crit damage, this is bonus damage, not modified damage, so it's not reduced. But it should work against for example Miss Fortune Q, Kayle's passive fire waves, Xin Zhao's Q, since those are modified by critical strike modifiers. It's all very confusing. I think it doesn't work against Samira's Q, because it deals spell damage and the critical strike is bonus damage; it SHOULD work against Yasou's Q, because while that's bonus damage, it deals basic damage, UNLESS it hits multiple enemies and you're not the closest, in which case it counts as area damage and I'd assume doesn't get reduced? So basically, if it's a cosmetic crit, it doesn't get reduced by randuins, if it's not a cosmetic crit, it sometimes gets reduced by randuins and sometimes it doesn't, depending on how the coders decided to implement that spell :) hope that makes things clear

[@ryangrady5977]

That is incredibly absurd! The item should reduce crit damage across the board. I cannot believe that is how they would code something! Mind blown.

[@VideoGamingOfficial]

@@ryangrady5977 It's REALLY weird. I think it makes sense that it doesn't reduce damage from cosmetic crits- they're really completely different from crit chance, and are kinda just aesthetic. But it should be consistent at least, probably apply to all abilities that can crit based on crit chance (maybe it would be too strong or something?? That can always be adjusted, I feel like making the item as intuitive as possible is more important)

[@slbhugomarques2]

Very nice game and your commentary was lovely as always, but i feel like you + renata were the ones who enabled the comeback, you ulted jinx, which made her help in the fight, and renata ulted perfectly (3 ad champions!) under tower while the enemies used their escape tools to kill you (ezreal E, lucian E, gragas E, all naut CC), of course it wouldn't be as good without the rengar cleanup but really felt like you didn't give renata enough credit ahhaa And of course congratulations on finishing your last exams and good luck on the thesis :)

Hey xPetu i am so glad to hear that you will complete your masters degree soon. Hats off to you for doing the hardwork and also providing us with quality content. Love your enthusiasm

[@travisc7883]

Thank you for the video! Through inspiration taken from you, I started playing Shen a while back and I love it! Pointing out that simply standing/moving and taking damage for back line squishies was huge for me to hear in this video. Also, glad to hear that you’re taking studies seriously. Congrats on the good grades from your hard work. Keep it up!

[@alexsharp3481]

Congrats on the exam completion Petu! I finished my Master’s 2 years ago and have been very much enjoying my life since! Best of luck on the thesis my friend! The world is not ready for Master’s level Petu technologies

[@krzysztofputerko1943]

11:10 the reason behind this is that AP increases only the dmg of mages abilities. So even if they have 20 mejai's stacks, they will still deal no dmg if you dodge their combo(which usually consists of dodging the first stun-ability and the rest just doesn't hit because you weren't stunned). Ocult sword on the other hand was giving AD, which not only increases dmg of your abilities but also dmg of your auto attacks. Which means that, for example if you are playing Zed, and you miss 2 out of 3 of your shurikens(which means normally you wouldnt get a kill), with occult sword you just can land w auto attcks and still kill your target. and Since you are snowballing, your enemies don't have enough dmg to kill you while you are landing your 2 auto attacks. At least this was the case back when the item got removed. Right now with all the dmg that league has zed probably wouldnt be able to just stand and auto attack somebody to death. But let's not forget that occult sword could be also built on bruisers and skirmishers, who are naturally more tanky than assassins/mages. Now let's imagine Jax/Yasuo or Riven with fully stacked occult sword. all of those champs have either lifesteal or shields which allow them to dish out that dmg. btw, there was also another Mejai-like item in league of legends which gave you bonus HP for every stack. It was also removed for being too snowbally because with Mejai and even occult sword, no matter how much stacks you have, you are always exactly as easy to kill as you would be with 0 stacks. On the other hand, the tank mejai item made you harder to kill with every stack, which measn that the more stacks you had, the less risk of losing them was. But honestly I think that in nowadats league those items could find their place expecially that we now have items like heartsteel which is literally just better version of that item.

[@ErisianRomantic]

xPetu, great work getting so much schooling done!!! I only know of you from many years of Dhen gameplay videos on KZbin, but I certain feel that I can celebrate your hard earned success. To be finishing a Masters, while also showing the world how a #1 Shen League of Legends player kicks ass....you just get shute done!!! I am overjoyed for ya.

[@awildrengarappeared8419]

Panth Q is a crit, same as Anivia E when applied with passive. Both are reduced by Randuin's passive

[@khunrocky606]

"reduction also affects abilities that critically strike, but only those that are treated like a basic attack or deal modified damage. The reduction does not apply to those that deal bonus damage."

[@jhgfduytrew2677]

@@khunrocky606 does that mean it doesn't apply? because i don't think Anivia's E counts as an auto, neither does the Q from Panth right? neither can be used on turrets for example. humm

[@JumalaPlays]

Yeah, it doesn't apply on panth Q or anivia E. Instead, it applies to abilities such as Volibears Q, which is an auto-attack buff that can critically​ strike@@jhgfduytrew2677

[@bacicinvatteneaca]

"Or deal modified damage". The point is: if the additional damage is expressed as a percentage of the default, it's counted as a crit; if it's an unrelated bonus, it isn't

Absolute Z(Sh)en ☯ master technique here --> I mean this play at 20:10 was so perfect! Soaking up dmg for Jinx. You can easily miss it, if you ain't paying attention, but such huge ROI. And then just to prove the point at 23:13, and really bringing the LESSON home at 23:33 👏👏

"best shen player" he says it so proudly. Love this guy

[@diz6383]

11:25 this is just speculation but I feel that the sword being removed while mejais stayed is due to the accessibility of AD vs AP, getting ramping AD on every auto attack is much more potent due to autoattacking benefiting from it as compared to ramping AP, where in most cases only abilities are benefiting, and these are gated by cooldowns. Mejais just gives abilities a bit more damage, while the AD alternative would benefit autoing AND AD scaling abilities.

As a Fiddlesticks player, I would love for a tank to literally walk forward and stand still to attract attention for 1.5 seconds so I can channel ult.
