I have a main account where I played so many games for so many years and I bought many skins, I do accept that at the first time I started ranked I was pretty bad at the game and didnt know how to keep a positive winrate and got tilted every game I lost not realizing you cant win every game, fast forward couple of years I got better at the game my mechanics got better but I still couldnt climb out of gold, the best I could do was gold 1 and players I got were extremely toxic, lost games on purpose, or played like irons, I tried an experiment to see If I was really bad at this game I played for years on end, it was literally hurting my self respect I felt like no matter what I do I cant do anything good, well the smurf started gold, I kept a stead 80 percent winrate and climbed all the way to emerald1, and I could have kept going, who knows what rank I would reach. This proved to me that my skill level is actually very high, and that I am not a gold level player but because my account is old and how the mmr system works the account where I spent years made friends and bought skins is unfairly treated with the matchmaking system and the mmr locks, now riot claims to be anti smurf and that smurfs are anti fun and unfair against new players but this experiment proved to me at least that when your main is trashed like this only way to play at your real level is a smurf account. In my mind there has to be a complete mmr reset every year or an mmr reset behind a paywall, Id happily pay it to try again, all I want is to save my real account and play on that account, neither riot nor me want to play in a smurf account but there is no actions taken to make this happen.

I keep posting my story. Started silver 4 and now the highest ranking ive been, Plat 2.

Support Shen only.

Before i was top lane. Didnt make it past gold. i suck at farming. I like to blame it on ulting away from lane, but no, i actually suck at farming.

Made the switch to support, HERE WE ARE PLATINUM!!

Hi everyone, how's it going?

I've recently started playing Shen jungle (with Guardian), and to be honest, I really enjoyed it and felt quite comfortable with the pick and playstyle. Maining support, I'm practically brand new to the jungle role, but I feel super comfortable with him.

I was wondering if it's still viable to OTP him whenever I get filled jungle or feel like playing it... I should mention I'm somewhat new to him, but I'm already around Mastery Level 6 or 7.

I have a few questions for those who have played him longer or have more jungle experience:

- What clear do you recommend? I feel like he struggles a bit with multi-target camps like Raptors or Krugs early on.

- Do you usually go for a fast 3-camp gank to make the most of his strong level 3 ganks, or do you full clear until level 6?

- I understand it's not the most optimal choice, but do you think it's possible to climb well in SoloQ as a OTP with this, or does he fall off hard against meta junglers?

Any advice regarding builds, runes, or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I recently started OTPing Shen (first in jungle)and was wondering if there is an active Shen Mains Discord server right now where people share builds, guides, and tips?

If anyone has the invite link to join, I would really appreciate it!

so i was a support main before and then i tried shen i felt so good but due to how gold inefficient the support role is i want to actually main the champ in his most played role which is top my questions are :

-how do you lane as shen against ranged tops

-when is his powerspyke

-and how to bring value to the team generally without losing cs if the enemy laner is dominating you and you can't push the wave to crash nor can farm if he is freezing it under his turret

Finally managed to complete all Shen Skins! This morning the last missing one just dropped in my shop, Iceborn Shen!

This is the end of a very long quest, so this was just to share my happiness with yall Shen Masters ❤️

Now I'm gonna get into all the chromas!

Cheers!

That was probably the best game I've played on Support Shen so far. I finally found a build that suits my playstyle. I know it's only Gold/Platinum, but as a support, I finally don't have to rely solely on my teammates. Maybe someone with more experience could help me create a similar build for the "Glacial Augment" rune?

It's just so annoying that I'll be farming waves when 50 cs behind, I'll be fighting the top laner, I'll be in some other way not focused on that person, and then they die. I always get blamed by my friends for their deaths. Sometimes it's their fault for overextending, prolonging a useless fight, or invading the jungle. Sometimes it's my fault for poorly managing my wave, not paying attention, or not reacting fast enough. Either way, I always get blamed and people get upset at me. Makes me wanna quit this game cuz I only play it cuz my friends ask me to and then they get upset at me. I can't control that I am not as good at the game as they want me to be.

Edit: someone reported me to reddit suicide watch for this post…. Be fr and grow up

Go get it if u can lol

Grubs and first drake are always mine

I finally hit masters in soloq after being emerald for the past few seasons and thus completing the 3rd masters rank along with flex and ranked 5s.

200~ games total
If you have any questions on climbing with Shen this season I can answer!

Do you think he'll get a buff or anything? I was just thinking, "Finally, Shen is starting to get noticed"

Does anyone have a definite build for shen sup?

Had a break from work this week so decided to dust off the ole League of Legends.

I took roughly a 2 month break after I descended into the deep depths of emerald but ended up playing an astonishing amount of games (about 75) over the course of the past 7 days to hit Master.

I know no one really cares about match history and stuff, but I also had the best game of my life 1 match before my rank up game. Ended up having 9 kills before 9 minutes which was a first.

Anyhow, thanks for lookin and if I get downvoted for match history then it is what it is.

My question is pretty simple. What would be the ideal build to get the biggest possible passive shield?

Peace out

Played against Lourlo last night in solo queue and he didn’t know about the interaction. Someone else posted about diamonds not knowing about it a few days ago and it made me feel like it was relevant haha. Even form pros don’t know about it!

My zed just went 0/16 on a high diamond lobby (he was a master player), got reported by 3/4 teammates and the game still carried on normally + LP loss. Convinced that termination because of inting thing is a myth

Hi! I'm kinda a newish shen player but I typically am able to do pretty decently on him (70% win rate for whatever that's worth) and I'm curious how you're supposed to tackle the morde matchup? I am able to consistently stomp this dude pre-6 and even through say 7-9 but even if I'm 5 kills up it feels like he just becomes impossible to deal with and I always end up getting forced under tower and unable to collect waves or even engage on him without getting smacked. I'd appreciate any advice on how to handle this guy so I'm not forced to just give plates and go super down in farm.

I play ADC / top as my roles in dia / masters lobbies, obviously top is my weaker role and I was just looking for some advice when you get stuck in a forced wave state out of your control.

The situation is, I’m shen, into yone. I win short trades early; and execute it in game, but as fighting in my wave his aoe gets the shove on me, as expected as shen. Fine

He gets a 3 wave crash and recalls whilst low, i’m 70% hp. I’m happy to stay on high hp since my jungler is qiyana clearing bot-to-top, and at 3 minutes the wave will be in the middle and nearly crashing into yone, but i’m safe because my jungler will be in river I can just ping.

It gets to 3 minutes, I look map and enemy rengar is just sat in the in river below top, and my qiyana is 16 cs still farming her blue? She hasn’t ganked anyone yet, maybe just inexperienced. Yone pulls the wave and freezes it because i can’t walk up right now, my jungle, who sees rengar just recalls and walks to bot crab

So im down a dagger, similar hp but the wave is stuck frozen, and im shen who struggles to clear and break a freeze.

I don’t touch a minion again for 3 levels, he makes a giant wave and crashes it into a dive with level 6 rengar + yone. I die and lose like 2.5 waves

I don’t like to point the finger and try to vod review to spot my mistakes but I just feel lost in this situation.t The only thing I can think of differently is trying even harder to trade lvl 1 and 2, but he is lethal tempo so can’t all in fully, its so easy for yone to slow push the wave early levels and just ignore me basically, as long as he’s not trolling

Any shen / highelo top mains can help me out ?

ADC had an OP score of ZERO. He died lvl 1, then gave up immediately and died on purpose over and over, then farmed side lanes for 30 min and never once made an attempt to play the game. I'm not sure I've ever seen that in the history of my time playing league. I had the most kills, dmg, and dmg absorbed, and limited Nasus to 5.9 cs/m but there is only so much one Shen can do. No matter the elo you're in, there are always people like this that ruin the game.
