Haha, tried an incredibly cleverly retarded build with Shen.

Rushed soulstealer -> ninja tabi -> rylai's -> hourglass -> was supposed to be abyssal sceptre but had only negatron cloak when match ended (although I had the geld)

Got like 15 stacks of the soulstealer somewhere halfway through the match. Had ~400 AP at the end. Final stats, 6/3/17. Fucking immortal myself with feint, fucking immortal allies with the ulti.

YES. GOOD STUFF.

I mix AP with health shen (due to his passive that people underestimate)
You can throw in a Soulstealer and/or leviathan if you think you can keep a lot of stacks (which is fairly easy with shen) but otherwise i go something like Warmogs, Crystal Scepter and some magic pen (the passive damage is magic). Frozen mallet works ok too i guess although Im not to sure its that efficient since you arent focusing on actual AD damage. A decent early item can also be Haunting guise. I think ive won al but the first game with this setup and always had a positive score

Nothing beats a xin thinking he can take u on just to get nuked with your passive then slowed with the dagger/taunted and beaten to a pulp

Rylai's is "ok" on shen. You pay a lot for the passive, but it's nice to have vorpal blade slow. Ryali's, Abyssal and Zhonya's are the only manaless endgame items that give both survivability and AP. There's Haunting Guise too, but it's kind of a buy-early-sell-later item.

Does th eheal on vorpal blade scale with AP? If so, spirit visage might be ok on AP shen.

Nope, the Vorpal Blade's healing is always the same, only useful in early game.

Anyway, new champion rotation is on, I had a great first match with Orianna and holy shit, she's p. fun to play, might be my favourite champion this week.

People posting their scores in this thread remind me a little too much of insecure teenage girls. Guys, stop it. We're supposed to be monocle.

I was already on an 80% win/loss ratio with her. I have th esame tingly sensation in my pants as when they buffed morgana a few patches ago.

Decreased cast time on ki shout and faster projectile on wind slash is heavan!

They try to release 1 champ every 2 weeks. They even ended up taking 3 weeks to release riven, so you must have taken a 2 month break.

I havent played her and ulum makes her look good but the couple of games i played against her her damage output was just laughable. I laned against her as cho once (yes yes cho.. im saying relatively laughable) and she literally couldnt dent me.

could very well be that players were just very bad with her due to the new mechanics and shit though

A lot of people just mash her Q spell. Basically you want to use it to reset the autoattack timer to get the most out of it. after 2 Q's, you dash through your opponent and Q a third time to knock them away from their turret, then stun with W.

Attack->Q->Attack->Q->E->Attack->Q->Attack->W.

Alternately, for harrasment, you open with your E to get the shield, attack/q the opponent and keep w in reserve for counterganks.

I have the feeling Ulm is right here. Basically I've played two kinds of Riven; the kind that was food-for-coin and the kind that ate my testicles for breakfast.

The first-kind spammed Q and did zero damage. The second kind auto-attacked in between effectively striking me 9 times from front of first brush to turret. Even my Garen had a tough time with that (lane ended 2-2 with both junglers passing by once).

Jungle riven is still hilariously fun btw. Just went 8/1/6 in a 4v5 that the enemy team surrendered just before I finished Atma's, even though they outnumbered us
