Shensei, Just went 8-0-12 in Emerald agianst a trist mid with this build, but I cooked with the 2% MS shard. After boots I was the ranged champion. Trist cant lane because I walk her down. Grasp procs without casting E into TRIST! Being the fastest ninja feels like the way.
playing Shen mid has been so much fun, the defensive means in his kit make me way more proactive in lane, reminds me of what goes through my head when kickboxing. thank you Shensei for all the knowledge
Yeah it is a good comparison, control of the space and distance is a huge part of every martial art just as sense of opportunity cost ,pace and rythm control etc.
It’s kinda amazing, ever since I started watching you I played Shen practically maining him. Climbing fast after learning him. Play 5v5 customs with friends and never drew out band before. Now they can’t stop banning my Shen thanks to your teachings. Thank you
I think its funny seeing how you found succes with the mov. speed the same way Azzap found that velkoz build, with both being outdated and champions that struggle against the meta. Just shows how great of a player you are, gj sir
Hey Petu. I've been a long-time viewer and Bard main, and I wanted to let you know to put some respect on Bard's name, cause honestly we are the Shen mains of Support lane. We are determined. Tenacious. Never greed and always play for the team, care-taking all lanes and ready for a long distance save. We survive and endure. One life point is all we need. We escape the most insane situations. We do not relent. We hit the clutch engage when it matters most. Nothing ever - Oh look! A chime! Free value! Also, don't ask us what the fuck we are building or why we just oneshot you. We know we aren't meant to do that. We just don't care.
wanna say thanks for this vids man and you of course, you have that charisma when it comes to teachin and the overall reaction to the art you've been making. Happy to see this kinds of vids🔥🔥
Deadmans Dmg can be priced like AD. To calculate the cost effectivness its more like a on-hit dmg effect and those are much cheaper then AD cause they dont scale with crit and spells.
I appreciate all the indepth and time you take to put this knowledge up here in YT. You have sincerily improved my soloqueue experience with this analysis that help me see the game from a scientific perspective. Thank you so much Petu!
As your lowest elo viewer who just won his bronze 4 promo for the 6th time, you would be happy to know that I beat a shen in that game to get back to bronze again!
Amazing video man, thanks for the breakdown into your insight you always provide. I'm a plat support player and I still find infinite value from watching you as almost exclusively a shen player. It's just awesome. Hope you have a great day and thanks for the upload!
With how lesson like this videos are, I'm expecting in the end for Petu to say, Ok class your assignment for next class will be...(speed appliances, forbidden technology theory, mathematically correct itemization, or insert your favourite topic here) 🤣💯👌
Omg thanks for making this video you have no idea How long have I been waiting for it thank you help alot im watching you abd getting better with shen shen so fun to play im enjoy man
Make a second account and just go crazy with shen technology. Ive played everything from shen support, jungle top to mid. As a top main. I was able to climb to emerald 3 doing shenanigans having fun 😂
Have a suggestion, getting dark seal with ionian boots, very gold efficient item, gives shen more dmg for q's and helps you snowball even harder early game. try it out
I just love listening to your voice. A long episode/podcast with fun math related stuff would be awesome, but maybe not the perfect audience idk. much love tho
Hey =) Great video! You mentioned building hollow radiance in every game and against AD matchups bami's first and then dead mans. Would you still build hollow radiance for the waveclear (or some other reason?) even against a full AD team? Or would you turn the bamis into a sunfire? Or would you even build bamis and maybe go for something else, like a chain vest + tiamat (into titanic)? This is very specific and nitpicky, but I notice you didn't mention such a situation in the video.
5:49 it is good that you mention Zilean. I am a support main and ocasionally play him. Once you started talking about slows and slow resists I was thinking about running this item on Zilean. You know there are two routes on building Zilean support, either into damage dealer or full utility and this could kind of work.
I'd been running first back Lucidity boots on Shen every game for a while now and it feels incredible. Even though I do it each game I still get shocked how much R CD it saves every time
love this, i've been going demolish tp every game though, im everywhere on the map all the time and putting crazy pressure form spliting not just from ulting
Petu usually builds it when the enemy has a 1 AP, 4 AD comp (Usually against Evelynn from his past videos) so that he does not have to waste gold on more MR and can focus on building Armor.
I've been playing Shen top as my secondary role for the past year or so but I am losing faith with my midlane main so I will be trying this now. I believe in you xPetu 😅
I love the video and the build, I'll be sure to try it out. Also what do you think of putting a song for an outro like you used to back in the days? I think it would give some sort of closure feeling because this type of ending is a bit abrupt.
Another build that I've been using (as shen support) is the enchanter build with moonstone and redemption. It works better than it should, especially when Im behind in the game, because the items are cheap.
i first started playing shen because of you and know i am back to playing shen because of you keep up the good work best league of legends videos there are ❤
Have you tried Experimental Hexplate as a third item? I think the movement speed it grants is really underrated. I find when I ult, the enemy team just runs away and it's hard to follow up unless I have DMP and Experimental Hexplate. The ultimate haste is also ok, but the attack speed feels like a wasted stat.
4:35 bro im stoned af and this made me almost choke, throw up and die. But all in a good way, from laughing. I know you don't like the green leaves Petu, sorry, but it's like 1 hour Shen R for my brain. Love bro. Now gotta replay the vid cause I missed everything typing this
fantastic guide as always petu, hoping to hit plat with this build. i am nervous about taking ignite top lane, as without TP, my tower dies first 15 mins no matter what
To the masterful genius that is PETU! I forget which video but you mentioned dogs and cats... Shen is obviously a dog! Cat's have a dark side; the evil within but don't we all man? We all have some dark evil power! I speak like you for just this time lol
2:40 Je regardais votre live sur cette game spécifique et à un moment vous dites "Ignite est vraiment moins bon que Téléport car vous sans TP vous ne pouvez pas assez profiter de votre Gold/Advantage sur les side-lane" ... je crois aussi que vous parlez d'une idée "TP/Ignite Shen" qui serait plus optimal bien que Flash soit un Musthave ...
The difference between xPetu and most commenters: First of all Challenger. Second, he is kindly explaining to you why he builds what he builds and the best part is you can see his match history and actually learn something!!! He is the teacher, you are the student. Pay attention!
Titanic is like Shojin for a lot of champions. It looks perfect for a champion, but that champion already had so many higher priority items that Titanic never had a chance to fit in one of those 6 slots.
Petu , now that you reached chalanger i would like to make a proposal , i would like to see you play Elden ring. That might sound strange , but i love the comentary that you provide in your videos and i would like to see you playing other games.(i also love soulsborne games)
You should also take into account the availability of stats. Move speed can only really be gained from boots. And then certain mages and adcs can get items with percent movespeed. it's a really hard stat to get, especially FLAT move speed. If you're basing your gold efficiency calculation on a component only certain builds can take, or boots which you can only get 1 of, it skews the results.
Dead Man's Plate is what I use in almost all situations. The speed is too good, it's 2 runes put together - important ones I might add. Have been doing Tank T.F. support for a while. I was picking up the Feather Boots for Slow Resistance - too many Sennas & Ashes for my liking & so on. Either stun/slow duration reduction through Tenacity Boots or best if you just get Greaves for Dewarding & for proccing your passive more. Whilst Dead Man's Plate just buffs you on offence & defence too! Feels too good to not get it 2nd or 3rd.
Would you also go for ignite and flash for toplane matchups? Mid gives you so much freem do roam the map but I think that in top you got really punished for picking ignite. You literally need to guarentee to stomp your lane otherwise the enemy champion will simply gain gold advantage taking your tower when you ult
@@fortnitesippin360ballscrack here in argentina and a few more spanish speaking countries, means like youre awsome. Youre very good. Something like that
xPetu, how do you think Shen’s supportive utility works in lower elo like Emerald? Do you find you’re able to solo carry in games where your team is struggling?
Hey Petu i have been slowly climbing to masters this season with your trusty videos always by my side! I didn't like titanic playstyle and have been going bami into frozen gauntlet almost every game. Reason being that it's cheap, sheen passive, every stat you want and the slow allows you to dictate fights and get more q dragthroughs. I then build sundered if into a lot of melee champs or steraks if vs more ranged/cc. I usually only finish hollow if i need mr or if i am behind. I did always like deadmans though, i will see where i can fit it in. I know it's a bit more selfish build but what do you think of it?
I’ve been playing Shen jungle recently and my build is just this exact path. Hollow Radiance Dead Man’s Iceborn Gauntlet My runes always have Ultimate Hunter but I’ve been messing with some weiiiird stuff like Fleet Footwork to stick to people.
But what do we do if it is more optimal to go armour for example into a full ad team. Is it better to go for a sunfire but then you have less waveclear?
No one plays full AD teams - you're probably winning that match no matter what you build. I would still consider Hollow over Sunfire if enemys have any source of magic damage. Sunfire is very bad compared to Hollow.
what do you think about Stridebreaker on Shen? i playing shen+yumi bot lane with hail of blades + revitalyze and shield bash. we rush Stridebreaker 1st item and after E youse stridebreaker on target
Petu items suggestions change every 30 seconds, if you get ingenious hunter suggestions change every 27 seconds instead

Love every one of your guides Petu. Keep up the good work. We never get tired of how to play shen
Man I don’t even need to see others players using Shen for me you are the best. I have Shen as my main support, and I learn a lot with you.💪🏼
honestly i dont even play shen nor i think of ever playing it but ur just so chill theres no way i dont watch ur videos 😭
Il trying out your build in Hemerald 1 and it works quite well !!

love the content have been a shen OTP for 3 years now and learnt all the tech from the best shen
13:05 had 0 clue honestly
FYI, sunfire does actually have an execute in the same way that hollow radiance does with the immolation. Great video, just a small clarification :D
Yes I am aware it does. But Titanic Hydra doesn't and that was the item I was comparing it to!
With how lesson like this videos are, I'm expecting in the end for Petu to say, Ok class your assignment for next class will be...(speed appliances, forbidden technology theory, mathematically correct itemization, or insert your favourite topic here) 🤣💯👌

Yeah, I was also wondering about that, when I face full ad enemy team, i tend to go titanic hydra instead of hollow radiance, to still have waveclear.
ur videos are shensational lool inspired me to play shen and its a champ i never thought i'd do well with. Thank you for all your videos
You have converted me into becoming a Shen Mid main. He will join my tank Zilean and maybe I can get back to Masters this season.
The best guide ever!!
Slowly learning the way. Thanks for the amazing content
5:49 it is good that you mention Zilean. I am a support main and ocasionally play him. Once you started talking about slows and slow resists I was thinking about running this item on Zilean. You know there are two routes on building Zilean support, either into damage dealer or full utility and this could kind of work.
Like, how good would this be on ranged champions. Maybe even running it on an ADc against heavy AD team...
I'd been running first back Lucidity boots on Shen every game for a while now and it feels incredible. Even though I do it each game I still get shocked how much R CD it saves every time
love this, i've been going demolish tp every game though, im everywhere on the map all the time and putting crazy pressure form spliting not just from ulting
Wow I tried your build out and it's so good. Thank you
Now that xPetu has perfected his build and climb, it’s finally time for the support Shen full training arc so he can teach us the forbidden technology
Thanks for this informative video again xPetu :) gonna take it with me in my games. currently grinding shen aswell, D2 now and rank 86 euw shen :D
@xPetu What's your opinion on Anathema's? Is there ever a reason to build during the laning phase?
Petu usually builds it when the enemy has a 1 AP, 4 AD comp (Usually against Evelynn from his past videos) so that he does not have to waste gold on more MR and can focus on building Armor.
I've been playing Shen top as my secondary role for the past year or so but I am losing faith with my midlane main so I will be trying this now. I believe in you xPetu 😅
Thank you Shensei for all of your extensive scientific testing and sharing of knowledge. May the moonfire bring you many wins.

True, I am building Dead Man's Plate from the start of this season and it works incredible.
OMG thank you so mutch ! great content as usual !

amazing guide. love your enthusiasm and way of explaining stuff. BOOM!
Im so happy deadmans is getting the respect it deserves. I love running deadmans x frostfire gauntlet
I agree. It does make perfect Shense.
Thanks Petu! I'll try my best to make Shen mid work in low elo

Sounds like a solid build. I think Iceborn and Deadmans compete for the same item slot, choose the one you find better for you.
XPetu what item should I build on shen support instead of titanic hydra?
I tried this build in my rank up game and it worked perfectly. Thank you xPetu
I’ve been playing Shen jungle recently and my build is just this exact path.
Hollow Radiance
Dead Man’s
Iceborn Gauntlet
My runes always have Ultimate Hunter but I’ve been messing with some weiiiird stuff like Fleet Footwork to stick to people.
But what do we do if it is more optimal to go armour for example into a full ad team. Is it better to go for a sunfire but then you have less waveclear?
No one plays full AD teams - you're probably winning that match no matter what you build. I would still consider Hollow over Sunfire if enemys have any source of magic damage. Sunfire is very bad compared to Hollow.
if you go against all ad, just build titanic instead
All the things said in this video made perfect Shense to me
