...Go tank!! This is mostly what happened this game... I couldn't get Kassadin for mid, our leader banned Nocturne so, what choice did I have?? Get a tank and show the world how Underpowered Shen is...!!! :P
Team picks and bans:
What people that pick Cho'Gath as tank don't seem to understand is how easily he can be ignored in a teamfight... Sure, he has a silence that would hurt many casters but, that's about it... His knockup isn't spammable and he can't force people to focus him. He's just intimidating from his size. Shen, on the other hand, is not nearly as neglectable. He dives in a fight, picks up the damage and bang... All you AD teammates hand down massive damage, since they ignore Cho's Silence... By the time my team figured that out, it was game over. Even though Master Yi got the First Blood, even though we lost many turrets early in the game, the ending was "predefined"... Game ended at 33 mins with the opponents surrendering after an ace in their base.

Shen is still a kickass tank. not what he used to be but he still tocks.
ReplyDeletemakes me sad not to see him ingame that much this days...
Yeah, Shen really stuck with me since the very first time I played him so, since I know his mechanics pretty good, I keep using him from time to time. Got up to 2000 Assist in 149 ranked games! :P
