    Heartsteel has the highest winrate in every elo though. I understand the boredom of always playing the same character and mostly the same items, but HS is the item that grants more LP to Shen players, not the other way around.
    And I don't build it every game, but when I do my individual carry potential (one of Shen's flaws) increases. For games where you are ahead or have other tanks, HS is a really strong option for Shen.

    • @xPetu
      @xPetu  Год назад +152

      Item winrate is not an unbiased indicator of item strength. Any ”win more” item will have a relatively high winrate because players actively choose to not build it when behind. In this case, Heartsteel’s winrate is paired with a high pickrate (40%), which diminishes biases slightly. In my personal opinion though, I believe the item is greedy and incorrect in most games if you want to play Shen to his full potential. Other opinions are obviously allowed and I might be wrong as well.

      @@xPetu sad but true. When your ahead you have more gold, when you have more gold you get more kills, farm and towers and you snow-ball ur advantage quickly. So already winning makes you buy more expensive items that are even stronger.

      Yeah like Petu says, that statistic is skewed in HS's favor because of a lack of playrate on other items. HS is fun, but really not ideal.

  • @Dikkiedank
    @Dikkiedank Год назад +26

    You had a pretty decent game and got it at lvl 10 when your base hp = 1376. 1376 + 300 (Bami's) + 800 (HS) + 80 (DS) = 2556. Heartsteel gives you an additional 1% max HP per completed item. That's a whole 26 extra HP! so 2582. With runes you ended up at 2638 HP. Heartsteel does 125 (+ 6% maximum health) bonus physical damage and grants you bonus max HP equal to 10% of the damage. 6% of your max HP is 158. The moment you bought it Heartsteel did 283 damage and granted you 28 health on hit. You ended the game on 3888 HP at 24 minutes, of which 228 was bonus health from Heartsteel hits. At that point the bonus damage would be 358, and you'd get 36 hp on hit.
    For simplicity's sake let's say you'd get Iceborn Gauntlet at the same time (even though it's 200g cheaper). At lvl 10 you have 83 base AD (and 96 at lvl 14) and 5 points in Q, which means a 5 second cooldown without CDR. Sheen has a cooldown of 2 seconds. You'd have to proc Gauntlet 4 times to deal more damage through item damage alone. E has a pretty high cooldown, so we don't expect to use it again in the calculation to match Heartsteel damage unless we reach the later stages of the game. EQ is often cast in the same 2 seconds so we'll rule out spacing those two for sheen procs. That means you need 1 more proc of off W and 2 more procs of off your Q. Your W you can cast in between Q procs, so from initation you'd need to wait for about 2 Q's, or 10 seconds. Damage wise from item alone Heartsteel is definitely better. However:
    What Gauntlet offers instead:
    - Iceborn Gauntlet grants you +50 HP per completed item, which is actually BETTER than Heartsteel passive unless you surpass 5k HP.
    - Tenacity and Slow resist.
    - Defensive stats: on top of bonus HP Iceborn Gauntlet grants armor. Those two work together very well as you've said many times.
    - 10% Damage reduction. This increases your (AND YOUR TEAM'S!) effective HP by 10%. Should be noted that this is against one target and only lasts for 2.5 seconds.
    - Sticking power. Your main source of damage is not your item, but your empowered Q's. If a target has 2000 max HP, one empowered Q at level 5 does 120 damage. If you can get only one more empowered AA off with Gauntlet than you would with Heartsteel, you already come close to HS damage. (120+83 = 203. That's 80 damage less damage, or 1 more Sheen proc). If you get 2 more off with Gauntlet than with HS you already did more damage. Anything after that and your Gauntlet outshines your Heartsteel by a lot. Unless the game is going to last very long the extra damage from Sunfire is not going to make the difference.
    Gauntlet is a lot more versatile and does not force or incentivise you to play a lot differently (chasing stacks). I think it's mostly a better pick up than Heartsteel.
    I'd actually argue AGAINST picking up Heartsteel in games where you are snowballing hard. If the game is over in no-time anyway you will barely benefit from the health growth and only ever really used the damage part, though Gauntlet's versatility grants you a similar damage output and definitely better dueling capabilities.
    I think Heartsteel can be good in games with multiple of these factors:
    - The game is bound to last very long so you can scale with the HP gains. For example 2 scaling laners.
    - You yourself are winning but your teammates are losing..
    - Matchup where you win short trades. You accentuate your strengths instead of compensating your weakness.
    - An enemy carry that NEEDS to be burst down before they can pop off.
    - You're the only tank on your team and no enemies are building %max HP damage items.
    Against for example a Kayle top while your ADC plays Vayne and your mid Kassadin it could probably be a good pickup.
    If you plan on picking up hearsteel from the beginning I would perhaps consider taking ghost to compensate for the lack of sticking power.

    Another thing I also want to point out. if you go heartsteel you should go grasp... grasp scales from HP, and heartsteel gives you tons of HP... what is 4% bonus dmg based on your HP might be double of that versus another enemy. I think moment you went aftershock i would went any other item other than heartsteel.

This makes me super tanky and in long games, the extra 1k hp you get from heartsteel scales really good with his kit (especially his e, at those stacks, it will do 500-900 physical damage) and the items. Maybe its just me :3

      The thing with sudden impact is that you cannot make full use of it cooldown. The only way for Shen to proc sudden impact is with his E. Sudden impact has a 4s cooldown and 5s uptime iirc and Shen doesn't have the necessary cd to continuously proc it. While cheap shot has 4cd and you can proc it with Shen Q and E and Iceborn gauntlet

    I'm curious about your thoughts on this regarding the upcoming Shen passive nerfs, since Heartsteel will be the only item/build path that will break even on passive shielding *before* reaching full build, while other tank mythics won't break even until full (or nearly full) build, and non-tank builds won't ever break even, so there's a lot of shielding to be lost without Heartsteel. I personally don't like building Heartsteel either, I'm more of a Radiant Virtue (or full AP :D) person, so I think it sucks that the nerf pushes people towards Heartsteel builds as far as I can tell.

    I feel like even if you want the unga bunga big stats survivability of Heartsteel, Jak'Sho is just better in every way. Better stats (good balance between HP+resists = higher effective HP, take less from max HP damage), the drain basically comes in to what damage and health Heartsteel provides, and then after that you basically get a Deathcap for your bonus resists.
    Heartsteel's only really better on insane health scalers like Mundo, Cho and Sion - though even then, the tankiness from bonus resists may help you out more than the damage from the bonus health may.

    @xPetu my peak so far has been 1 game away from GM in NA, when GM was like 610 LP ish. And I made it playing Heartsteel into hydra almost every game. From my experience. heartsteel feels really bad if you build sunfire before hydra, (unless you are giga fed and enemies are not that strong yet). IMO Sunfire is just a really weak item now, and hydra benefits and scale much better with heartsteel.
    I also agree that the build is indeed "greedy" and requires a lot of gold to pull it out. However, if you make it, you can even split push and take structures and beat almost anything on 1 v 1 while also remaining a team fight monster. the HP you get late game makes your ki barrier, E and R scale very well. Furthermore, I think it is a lot easier to make supportive shen builds work on your server than NA because in EU carriers are more competent and have better positioning and macro in general, and in NA you a lot of the time have to try to carry as Shen, and a lot of times you can have that idea from how the game starts. you can even see the numbers of radiant virtue for example, much better win rate on EU than on NA.
    what you can try to do is bamis>heartsteel> then go "budget" sunfire/abyssal, knights vow, all really cheap items that help you complement the build faster.
    I do think they should drop the heartsteel item price by about 200 gold since only really 2 champions build it often (shen and sion)

      The thing is, it is very good if youre snowballing. Because if you play HS shen with a 7/0 score after like 15 min, youre 1-shotting adc's and supports with your combos. That heartsteel chunks them for a solid 700 damage in the leading auto and then some. If youre behind though, heartsteel really doesnt offer much value, since the enemies are higher hp, and also they have armor and magic resist.

    It's been a month since you post this video and I was studying the value of this item with Shen and this is what I realized.
    It has 2 values actually.
    1. You have a potential carry in your game, like, a player who can 1v5 but needs some peeling, a certain peel like a shield. You can focus better to protect that carry with your R and HS to close the game with victory in your side.
    2. The value increases the more melee champs you are against. I'm a pyke mid main and only buy eclipse whenever there are 4 melee champs in enemy team. With that in mind, I build HS on shen on a game with 4 enemy melee champs, and the surviving potential increased, damage increased and peel for a certain player also increased.

It's not worth it only laning phase cause in high elo it doesn't last long enough and rotation happen a lot. Especially if you play Shen it's not worth it cause laning phase lasts even lesser.

      @herskind1364 Год назад

      I actually dont really understand that logic. If you ask me heartsteel can be extremely good against more squishy targets, since its chunking potential is massive. When ahead you can literally 1shot combo adc's and supports with it. And the overwall weakness of heartsteel on shen is enemies with a lot of armor and magic resist, because it means less burst damage. The overall item value is much lower against tanky enemies

      @@Mil1nk Sure, but that wouldnt really matter since you only really get a max of 5 minutes in laning phase with the item. As xpetu said, the stacking really isnt that significant whatsoever. So putting effort into maximizing an already insignificant ability is just a waste of time when you could have gone for so many better alternatives. The only real selling point for HS is if youre the only one ahead and wanna shoot for lategame or if the enemy team is squishy and you choose to not go divine sunderer

    heartsteel is especially bad on shen cause usually it's difficult to farm and u have to take bami + boots before going for it. So u can't stack for a long time and it's difficult to have value from it. It's why it's ok on some close range team comp if u're fed early on but that's it

    This game is not the kind of game where you build Heartsteel in the first place, specially against Zoe in the midlane, so using this game as an example for "Heartsteel bad, Radiant Virtue good" is sketchy at least.
    I have had my fair share of games with Shen where I built bami into ionian boots, then heartsteel into Sunfire and Titanic as a third, and good lord, it can fucking slap and hard carry a game. After that you get resistance items.
    It's a late game build and it requires actual farming (a difficult tech for most Shen enjoyers), but the damage and the tankiness is insane
    You just have to build it into the correct comp.

Now in one of my game with Tristana full buiild a Shen with Heartsteel, Sunfire, Thornmail, Plated Steelcaps and a Giant's Belt kill me in less then 2 seconds, thank you RIOT for ruining this game with yet another season where you have another item overpowered. This is why i quit for good playing SR and ranked 3 y ago, this game is so unbalanced and the only thing i keep the client on my pc is TFT. Btw i am season 1 player i know what i am talking about, i remember how it is to carry solo 1v5 (fiora, yi, jax, kasawin) but now feel like some champions and items are way too week and some are "META", the competitive scene ruin this game and dictate how boosts or nerfs go. I can talk for hours about champs and items but the point is that Riot forgot what is important, the players and the fun in this game, they put on the first place the competitive scene where the big investors need to make money.

    For low elo and games where you are ahead and/or can buy bami + completed heartsteel at 12m I do build it on Shen, if Im not that ahead I go Radiant or Iceborn usualy.
    For low elo I think heartsteel, Sunfire, Demonic, Titanic Hydra and Statik is the GOTO build, unless you need the MR. Everything in this build has synergy with heartsteel
    For higher elo games bringing utility with redemption or Radiant I think is more valuable overrall

    @adcyuumi Год назад

    You need a rather specific build, strategy, enemy team composition, and rune-page to go for Heartsteel. Your second item should be Warmog's Armor with it to begin wielding a huge health bar - so you have to look out for enemy champions that do percent health damage and/or build BotRK. You stack resistances after that - Gargoyle's Stoneplate, for example. None of those items are cheap, AND you need a way to stick to targets long enough to auto-attack them 3x - so you need Hail of Blades, Ghost, and Flash. And you have to afford this build core without buying any farm item - which you will generally only be able to do with the help of your jungler, since kills are the only good way to get that much gold.
    One thing I've been meaning to try though is Tiamat + 300g boots first, into Heartsteel, into Titanic Hydra. I think that will operate a lot better than Bami's first, since you have to walk up in order to use Bami's. Especially in lane vs a ranged champion like Zoe, being able to maneuver and still push waves quickly at the same time is important. I don't think it will be good, but I think it will work a bit better than Jock Shoes + Titanic Hydra to quickly wreck targets and/or push waves. Iceborn Gauntlet + Titanic Hydra should outperform both of those options easily. Personally I almost always go Tiamat into Warmog's Armor, finish Titanic Hydra to turn Warmog's on, then choose my mythic based on game state. (I also max E first; I value the extra mobility highly especially when using R to join early fights.) That's far too late to bother with Heartsteel.
    Toplane is where you find quite a lot of percent health damage built into kits... so Heartsteel kind of sucks there on every champion to some degree. It is very much an item that works best (imo) on champions that don't struggle to wave clear and have armor/MR built into their kits - Garen, Poppy, Leona, etc. Other champions should avoid it.

    Heartsteel shouldn't be a stacking item and instead get stronger with is mythic passive. This would avoid inting, trolling or rewarding for kamikaze plays.

    Heartsteel is one of the best items Ive used on Shen. I think its very niche tho. Its a great item if you are ahead and ur enemy laner is losing. You secure stacks and start stacking early so for late and teamfights you already have a lot more health. Its such a good damage item, specially for shen that doesnt do much damage(im not the best player) but shen damage is stronger with heartsteel. As I said, its better if you get fed early and can begin to stack early. Maybe im bad at builds but heartsteel has been the most consistent item on shen for tankiness and damage.
