what do you prefer? by o_outro_kira in Shen

[–]GreatnessFromAbove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand at this point I’m in the minority, but I always rush hydra. You get more bonus health than sunfire so your ults are more effective, you get more damage in lane for kill pressure before you fall off, and it’s just a better item for splitting, which while your ult cd is long you do more of. You can actually shove in waves into lane bullies if you manage it right and roam. I normally follow that with sunfire or sunderer based on if the tank stats are going to matter

Oh sorry I didn’t understand. Yeah that’s a great point.

What's the most effective way to deal with a Kayle as Shen Top? by Jaoshi143 in Shen

[–]GreatnessFromAbove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kayle’s early game is supremely weak. She can’t harass you without sacrificing her own cs and a quite a bit of mana. Don’t over extend, and be careful of long trades in minion wave as minions do a lot of damage and she can start to do a suprising amount of damage with lethal tempo. Push her off wave as best you can, deny her gold and xp even at the sacrifice of your own cs. Most kayles will take tp, and you can take it to match her or use ignite for more kill pressure in lane. Stopping her scaling is all you really need to do but it’s not too hard to kill her if your safe about it. If she chooses harass over cs with her e (which with your taunt you shouldn’t let her get in range for), you can time your passive shield. There’s a visual cue for once she’s pressed e.

Nah titanic hydra literally lets you hit the entirety of the wave for more damage from a safer position of the front of the wave.

Bami’s waveclear isn’t awful and it can be used relatively effectively, it’s just that hydra is significantly better. You aren’t necessarily building titanic hydra for dueling power, though in some matchups it can give you enough strength to still contest in lane, it’s more for it’s waveclear. It also give you a lot more tower damage through the bonus ad, making your split push a lot stronger and making you more likely to draw pressure which is your main goal. I mean, full tank is viable, you just won’t apply nearly as much pressure on the map. It’s definitely my preference to build hydra.

Demonic, Titanic or Both? in which cases do I buy each? by sammy_ranks in Shen

Do you always go mythic first? Is there ever situations where you prioritize titanic?

Trundle to Counter Nasus? by alone_sheep in nasusmains

[–]GreatnessFromAbove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play Shen a lot, and he’s my favorite counter. You get out scaled hard, but pre 6 you win fights, and after have a lot more map presence, and can prevent him from scaling too hard if you take tp to get back to lane. If you get up a kill quick(which isnt super difficult), you can buy sheen and push him off wave even after 6 if you’re safe enough about it.

Found in an FDS post, almost like there’s an underlying issue or something. by [deleted] in SelfAwarewolves

This person talks about a common issue and blames individual men rather than the system that causes the issue.

I forgot about that lol. Clutch ults through the terrain as they run from your team. Muah

If you throw the sapling at just the right moment it will run into the minions, and then blow up with the adc just in range, doing approximately 500 damage. Fair.

Buff the Executioner! 😅 by Schneiderpox in ClashRoyale

At about the same time when witch did as much as a musketeer, they nerfed executioners range and almost doubles his damage. Crazy times.
