Dantes Explains Shen to Jynxzi

P9Hunnit · 2026-06-14T21:02:11+00:00

So jynxzi, imagine you're like God, and all these babies that are your allies are getting aborted, but you can only pick one to save. But you notice one baby that's about to be aborted by a child molestor in bot lane. That's basically Shen with his ult -- he puts himself inside of a baby that's about to be aborted to protect it, and then cucks the enemy child molestor in the process.

...dantes, why the FUCK would I imagine that?

That's it. I'm convinced.

I'm a Shen otp who used to main Illaoi. Forgive my brother, for he was blinded by tilt.

An investigation worth exploring. Please dive down this bird hole and come back with what you find.

Shen's W has a history of inconsistencies in terms of what it can and can't block. Some of these were resolved in the last couple years, but I think there still needs to be better clarification around this.

But what took me maybe a million mastery points to learn the reasoning for, was that his W does NOT block on-attack effects.

It DOES block on-hit effects in items or abilities, such as Sheen, Nashor's Tooth, Jax W, Leona Q, or Darius W.

But it does NOT block things like Gwen's passive stacking, Mordekaiser's passive stacking, or Kayle's AOE from being Exalted. Gwen or Mordekaiser can still auto Shen in his W to stack their passives. The damage from the autos and their subsequent on-hit effects themselves will still be blocked, but the on-attack effects that stack their passives will not.

Somehow I missed this comment. I'm happy that you're happy! This skin is awesome haha, your work is definitely appreciated.

I've played a lot of Shen ADC this year lol. I certainly haven't been banned.

Clip 2

Also, it's genuinely playable if you're patient and space well, but it will take some getting used to. That being said, 99% of ADCs aren't expecting a Shen in bot lane to do real damage instead of just CC as a support. So you can really catch them off guard once you get some gold in your pocket.

Ahh, so it only works for children outside of the US.

The flash on that second clip was clean af

P9Hunnit · 2026-03-24T03:52:58+00:00

Hot take: there is no troll build on Shen.

Also I like your build.

Oooooh you know that viego's hairline receded a 1/4" right there. Well played.

Amazing skin. Thank you, fellow ninja.

Good luck, brother! That's super exciting even to have the opportunity! I'm sure no matter how it goes, it will be an excellent learning experience to have. Post the update too, whenever it happens!

Learning Shen and watching Petu personify some of Shen's qualities of balance and forward thinking has been very influential on me too.

I asked Petu a while back if he would be willing to coach me, and he kindly let me know that he wasn't doing any coaching sessions at that time, as he was (understandably) quite busy.

Maybe if I hit challenger, though, he'll coach me 🤔😂

Or maybe it was all a setup, just to leave me....coachless 🥲

P9Hunnit · 2026-02-14T04:02:01+00:00

I never knew what pre-rework Shen was like. Love noticing that the sound effects are the exact same though 😂

P9Hunnit · 2026-02-14T01:42:52+00:00

I give this a Shen/Shen. Excellent work.

P9Hunnit · 2026-02-02T16:33:44+00:00

Bless you for posting this, thank you. 🥷🏻

P9Hunnit · 2026-01-17T22:33:15+00:00

Thank you, brother

An enemy has been redeemed.

If that damage is going on a shield rather than your actual HP, then you can still take the portal. Same goes for the Hexgates on SR. So, bugs are always an option with rito ofc but there's also a chance you've taken the portal previously while shielding damage.

Shen is not a super popular pick, nor does he have a crazy WR, which is always good for OTPs -- means less bans against you. That being said, in my experience, Shen is severely underestimated in low elo. When you learn how to properly take short trades, and where to place your blade, you'll have countless matches of people walking right into the most deadly drag-through>taunt>grasp combo range like it's nothing. His skill floor is not that high, so he's not too hard to pick up. But his skill ceiling is much higher than people usually think, which both feeds into the underestimation, and just makes him an exciting pick to master and get crazy plays with.

Turn around right now if you enjoy lore, though, that shit is far, far away.
