I think Xpetu is the only guy who can make any shen build work. But he's so mechanically good at the character im convinced that runes and items don't matter to him
There are so many better Shen builds! You just NEVER go full AP. You go for a Rocketbelt then tank items, or you go for tank items with Redemption (Redempshen!) or you go for a tank Shen with Iceborn and Lethal Tempo or you can even try bork with Lethal Tempo... Shen is a champion you can itemize anything on but you gotta do it extra smart and yes I do watch xPetu and I am a Shen main.
similar to this, would be cool to see an AP bel'veth vid. she applies on hit with her Q (at a reduced rate i think) and has a 125% AP ratio on W, which i think with CDR can get down to around 3 sec CD. also her ult has a high AP ratio if i remember right, but thats pretty impossible to land. with all the on hit AP items out there now, its cool to see that these builds can get something done
How about 3-Tap Pantheon Mid? Blade of the Ruined King Ionian boots (Or which ever T2 boots you prefer) Kraken Slayer Eclipse Prowler's Claw Essence Reaver Runes: Electrocute, Sudden Impact, Eyeball Collection, your choice of hunter rune | Triumph, Coup De Grace The idea: Empowered W -> Auto triggers EVERYTHING above. EVERYTHING. This means W -> Auto will just DELETE people. The 3 tap Panth. Its super fun. It isn't his meta build and I believe that this specific build is flying under the radar. Give it a try. Also you may adjust the build order (Such as Kraken -> Eclipse -> Bork) , to what you believe would be better. Aside from Prowler's Claw and Essence Reaver, those must be completed after Bork, Kraken, and Eclipse.
I’d love to see ap sona mid with statikk shiv 🤓 its not super amazing against non-squishies but I found first strike can work somewhat well with it since q can hit from pretty far
Akshan is the poster child for Riots absurd 200 year design philosophy. He's insanely overdesigned with his 15 thousand passives, but the thing that gets people interested in him is purely how fun his E is. If they'd slash half the dumb, unneeded stuff in his kit and instead used the power budget to make hookshotting around more satisfying, he could be the most fun champ in LOL.
Not sure how viable this is but I feel like kraken + shiv + nash + guinsoo + AP item would go crazy on akshan, also second the other comments saying more akshan would be cool. krakken is crazy on akshan rn and also kraken has a 60% ap ratio on third auto, ramping up to.. 90 i think? maybe 120? (those are the 2 numbers coming to mind idk) with every additional auto
Hey Pekin, love your videos 😊 I have a pick you could try mid and maybe make work : lethality kalista, played more like a Nidalee where you throw Q into E with dark harvest and try to one shot people. I used to play it a lot in aram but it just falls off hard. Maybe you can make it work 😅
I think in this video, the purpose of it was to have another AP ratio tacked onto his kit to utilize the AP with. But also Shiv is just busted anyone who can use it should use it, if you want to win.
Can you play Bel'veth mid I think she is a secret op midlaner she can crush immobile mages like malz, and even beat melees. I go conquerer, resolve tree for second wind and tenacity or overgrowth. Tp for hard matchups, but badically always flash ignite. Let the wave push into you early then play aggressive at lvl 2 with w. Once people are low e ignite is how you get flashes and kills. You snowball really hard and you are difficult to gank if you save your e and q backwards. For the build go kraken, guinsoos if you want to be the carry, or go botrk into frostfire/jaksho if you want to frontline. Always go defensive shoes berserkers arentt worth it.
