I Played Shen for 24 Hours
Items for Different Comps
Your last item can be either Jaksho if you wanna be TANKY or Wit's End if you want some more damage. ALSO DON'T BUILD THRONMAIL IF THEY HAVE NO HEALING!!! In a lot of cases Randuins or Frozen Heart are better if you just need the armor.
Boots are situational but USUALLY Plated are better unless your lane opponent is pretty heavy AP
Summoner Spells
This is the best because your Ult is already a "TP" so you don't need TP USUALLY. This allows you to play more aggressive in lane with your high base damage and snowball a lane early. However, this does fall off later AND into bad matchups can be rough.
Runes
Into all in matchups you can go Bone Plating instead of Second wind. You can also make your "stat runes" different (Attack speed and scaling HP) but I like Double adaptive force cause it makes last hitting under tower with your Q easier especially if you are pushed under tower AND it helps your early game.
Best Advice
Position your Passive Sword BEHIND the enemy as soon as possible (This will be in the video) so that way if they walk up to CS you can use your Q and get a good trade.
Don't ALWAYS ult. If your wave is at your tower DON'T ULT unless its a big fight. If you ult away your opponent will get 2-5 plates (depending on how far into the game it is) and a LOT of CS and you will fall behind. Usually its not smart unless its an early 4v4.
HOWEVER, if the wave is in the middle of the lane, you pushed the wave, OR the opponent just backed you can Ult pretty easily.
Play aggro early you have one of the strongest level 1s in the game for short trades and then when you hit 2 you can go all in with ignite. You don't ebe EVERYONE but like 70-75% of top laners you can beat. And if you are low elo and people trade BADLY you can probably beat even more
