[League Of Legends][Guide]Shen, The Eye of Twilight

[Abnormal]

Hello guys. I'd like to present you my second guide for a champion. This time is Shen's turn.

Lets Start

 

 

There exists an ancient order originating in the Ionian Isles dedicated to the preservation of balance. Order, chaos, light, darkness -- all things must exist in perfect harmony, for such is the way of the universe. This order is known as the Kinkou and it employs a triumvirate of shadow warriors to uphold its causes in the world. Shen is one of these shadow warriors, entrusted with the sacred duty of Watching the Stars - exercising judgment untainted by prejudice. Born to a clan whose members have decorated the ranks of the Kinkou for generations, Shen was trained his entire life to become the Eye of Twilight, and thereupon to dispassionately determine what must be done in the interests of equilibrium. As his final trial to ascend to this position, he was made to attend the Takanu, a ceremony in which his father was tortured before his eyes to test his resolve. Any reaction whatsoever would have resulted in his immediate disqualification, but he never averted his gaze and never blinked, not once. As the Eye of Twilight, Shen must make decisions which would buckle the wills of ordinary men, removing all emotion from the equation. He now works with his fellows Akali and Kennen to enforce the balance of Valoran. This hallowed pursuit has unsurprisingly led the triumvirate to the Fields of Justice. The Eye of Twilight sees not the despair of its victims, only the elegance of equilibrium.

 

Introduction.

 

Welcome to my Shen guide,Shen is a tank support but he can be very dealdly with the corect items since he turns 1v1 to 1v2 with Stand United save teammates with the same ability and has his awesome taunt. What I loved about Shen is the fact that he uses energy, I was a Rogue in wow and so this character got to fit in me at the very first glance, loved him.

6# Tips and Tricks

 

The Dragon - at around level 8-10 Shen can solo the dragon (gives 100 odd gold to each person on your team) with his vorpal blades, its a shockingly slow process but easily doable, however, as it takes along time your lane could get pushed or a team fight could go down etc, use it at your own risk but it is really handy.

 

Going back to your lane - as your energy is not mana etc and it comes back really fast you can keep using shadow dash to get back to your lane / a team fight faster.

 

Ki strike - I haven't talked about Shens passive ability yet as i'm personally not to sure how it works myself but everytime it charges up you hit extra damage to a creep or enemy champ, works well if you throw a vorpal blade and then hit them with ki strike for extra damage / health regen.

 

Jungling - If you notice your lane is sweet you can take your time along the way to jungle abit, just spam vorpal blades and you shouldn't lose any health

 

Stand united trick - for faster scrolling through your allied champions when looking to save you can use the f# keys (f1 f2 f3 etc).

 

Thats basically everything I can think of, please feel free to comment / rate and give me CC (i'd appreciate this) if your unsure of anything feel free to ask aswell.

 

Also remember you are the tank, don't be afraid of just running into the enemy champs (make sure your on vent or with people you trust because it can turn nasty if randoms don't follow you in), also late game you can tank towers for your team.

 

Just remember, theres no such thing as a perfect tank, you can only do the best you can.

 

 

#7 Summary

 

Early game: Stay in your lane, get last hits, coordinate ganks. Your lack of AOE will make it harder to farm. So make sure you get those last hits.

 

End game: I've never had a long game with Shen. Keep the other team's carries at bay and shut down snowballers, and by midgame you'll have a concede or nexus kill easily.
