i love your personality! it's annoying to try to watch good players and they're constantly raging and throwing tantrums at every mistake their teammates make and never acknowledging their own, so it's nice to see a player who will both acknowledge their own mistakes and also say "yes, my teammate made a mistake there, but it's not the end of the world." really refreshing point of view :)
Something I wish you had said at the end with "a great example of" is that you did not surrender, saw your mistakes and because you did not tilt (neither did your briar and morde) you guys ended up winning the game. And this is soooo much easier said than done. This is why you're so good at the game while most of us aren't. Had I been Shen vs Karma mid, maybe I would have called game over from the load screen... Had I been Morde going 0/6... I probably would have called game over 20 min in or earlier. Sure, Briar hard carried, but at that ELO is rare that 1 person can solo carry since everyone is supposed to be at more or less the same mechanical skill level. As per usual, another great video from you. Love your personality, and I have close to 0 interest on Shen, but it is you that makes me watch the videos. Sorry I don't become more involved in your videos, but hey, my full video view and my like will always be there for you :) Keep up the good work. Take care. See ya.
Great example of the 5% of games (statistically) that teams with soul somehow lose. Really goes great lengths to show that you should never give up, and to always look for game changing/winning plays. In my opinion there was no way you could have won this if that last play failed, even if the game went on really late.
Love your content Petu! }You explain everything clearly and straight to the point and I really enjoy how calm and down to earth you deliver your commentary. I've got a question for you, how do you counter Lillia jungle? I've been trying Shen jungle and Lillia just wrecks me, even stacking mr she just runs laps around and destroys me.
seems like a cheat code that your main is actually acceptable if not good in every position... you get the champ select mind games and the ability to be impactful wherever you play...
I'm trying to stay calm in those double buff giving situations but I'm not quite there yet. It's a long journey but I know you are totally right on that. We shall enjoy the game, learn from our mistakes and focus only on ourselves and improvement. We shall stay excited for the right plays and focused to avoid the wrong ones. Again, it is a long journey for me, but as you are right and as I'm dedicated to follow that path, I will eventualy succeed. Bless you for all the amazing teachings and contents. You are an amazing humain being Petu. Really. Never change that part of you.
I've been playing a similar setup but with fleet footwork, and rushing the MR component of hallow radiance. Against AP mages of course. You can dodge a lot of missile attack with the MS you gain, and you get so much healing with Dorens, SW and the 150% Regen you get from that component. Appreciate chef 😉
Thanks for another great video Petu! Do you think one could main this Shen Mid strat into high elo? :) or is it easier and more consistent to go top w ingenious hunter?
i would realy apreciate a video about the situational itemization. i dont realy get to play a lot and with all the new itens and changes i get realy lost if what im building is good. i end up always buying the same items most of the time
I have a suggestion nobody takes seriously. Phase rush volibear with either of the sunfire items. You proc phase rush very easily, and can keep up anyone after the stun. Ei tartte jos et haluu, mut jos joku ilta et keksi muutakaa, ni kokeile ihmees. Eteläsuomest terveisii.
@@CarnageUndoneIm so so sorry Peter Frazee (Fray-zee) that someone loves the content and personality of a content creator that they enjoy, I understand that you don't get that same sort of attention but that's no reason to be rude to others. Hope that helps!!
When would Fleetfoot work be a better alternative to bring into mid rather than Phase rush? I feel like the added sustain could make a difference, and the speed buff could work as a disengage after E+AA with a lower cooldown than Phase rush. Only side note to this is that Phase rush gives a stronger move speed buff with slow reduction, while Fleetfoot provides more uses throughout the laning phase with added sustain
I knew I wasn't crazy for standing back from that wall at level 1! I always hang just on the edge of vision with that wall so I don't get caught by a flash from the enemy
0:18 You dont need Senna to play Shen adc. My brother and I have been playing shen and leona bot for like 6 years on and off. You basically chill till lvl 2 or 3 and then all in constantly. Since both leona and shen can engage through minions, so you can pretty much do what ever you want and enemy botlane can never walk up without dying. Its basically unbeatable, both shen and leona can negate an insane amount of dmg with shen w and leona w and both have high enough base dmg that you can build tank and still 100-0 an adc and support with a chain cc combo. Back in the day I always rushed frozen mallet on shen in this duo, damn I miss that item. Anyways, its still really really strong, you win 99/100 lanes. Begins to fall off beyond 30 min tho. Shen build: PTA(best rune for shen bot) with resolve and second wind. Iceborn/Triforce, then build accordingly, visage, randuins, thornmail, uending dispair, wits end, titanic and sunfire are good tank dmg items. Leona: Aftershock, Iceborn and full tank.
I appreciate your chill attitude when Briar messed up. The fact is, people will try things and sometimes mess up. It's a hard game to predict outcomes of every action. A lesser player would absolutely flame their jungler for that, tilt themselves and discourage the jungler to ever help them again.
@@mosbby4135I once had someone argue "well flaming can't make them play any worse" Not only did it absolutely make them play worse, it ended up making all the rest of us play worse, too. Plus, it leaves everyone in a sour mood.
Probably only happened because u were focused elsewhere but at 13:50 that tower was dead (plates are gone, u have hydra + 6 grubs) which was first tower gold missed. But realistically letting the tower stay was what killed Karma right after u came back. This is more about people not understanding just how strong grubs are. 3 Grubs for most champs means going from a single plate per push to two plates and that even champs with no tower dmg take towers a lot earlier
what is that cool looking image in the left side of the thumbnail of this video? I looks like shen but not really? I cant seem to figure out what that is
Greetings dear Petu, I play ranked as Shen support and would like to have some day a How To Climb with Shen Support video, I always go for aftershock and tank items
ngl that kill steal at 8:13 after the int would have 100% made me tilt and run it and i'm not even that easy to give up a game usually it's pure disrespect xD
Yes and No, Nimbus Cloak comes in very handy with ignite. Rush mobility let's you disengage much safer if you also missed your E, which can happen quite some times if the enemy laner has mobility like Karma E in this case.
Could this work for support? I have had success with Shen in the support role and am thinking about how to itemize and build him more efficiently. He basically carried my bronze MMR account into gold IV in 192 games 55% win rate. Still climbing, now that my MMR seems to have fixed itself, I no longer lose more LP than I gain.
Nah, on supp i would 100% stick with Aftershock. Let's you engage enemy supp without much worry of not having the enemy adc cc'd. It also gives you the extra bonus dmg you need because you probably wont go hydra as you don't need it for wave clear on supp, Sunfire is the better option there. Maybe Glacial Augment could work under the right circumstances.
@@Element_Doom I don't know, I have tried aftershock, but to me it seems like its the rune I lose the most on for some reason. I did better with Grasp or Fleet. In low elo soloq you get all sorts of ADCs, some of the best are very aggressive and follow up on plays.. but there are many who just don't have the mechanics or are afraid, so an engage turns into losing a trade as I get slowed and shot while running back. I want to see if I can get a good trade and run away with this rune.
There's also so many supps like Brand and Zyra that have so much damage, that even if you taunt the enemy adc, the extra Resistance from Aftershock mitigates quite a lot.
@@Element_Doom Yeah, thats a good point, but I don't use Shen into mages. Botlane support counter rules: engage supports like Maokai counter enchanters, which counter mages which counter wardens (like Shen) who counter engage supports. I use Shen into all sorts of engage supports. Vs champs like Shen and Braum I use Swain. Vs mages I use Galio (he is kind of an exception). Vs enchanters I use Maokai and for dash heavy teams or supports that can dash like Pyke I use Poppy. Shen is my most played. You also have to consider your ADC, Samira for example needs an engage support.
@@Brakka86 Well Fleet and Grasp are more so Win-More runes i think, that basically enable you to function as a solo carry as if you were playing shen top. So when you're in a favorable matchup anyway or enemies are bad, it likely just feels as if they're better than Aftershock, just my theory. Pretty much only a low Elo thing, in that case i would indeed go Phase Rush or Grasp. Usually most Adcs are scared to follow up your engage, because they can't or don't want to match your mobility on your dash, like Caitlyns (sometimes Ezreals too) wanting to keep E as disengage and ensure it hit something for more damage, and they don't want to walk up through a minion wave, likely exposing themselves to the enemy support only to then get cc'd and turned on. They're fixated on playing front to back. Pretty much a matchup thing, Adcs like Kaisa (lvl 6), Tristana, Lucian or Movespeed buffers like Draven or MF are much more likely to follow up your engage. Before engaging, check the enemy jungle position (which side of map is he on rn/pathing to), if he going to clear his top side camps that's usually a safe time to take trades) after that i recommend to only engage a fight on a fresh wave (in high elo a lot of supps go Minion Dematerializer for that reason) because otherwise if the wave is about to die, a new wave will arrive meaning either more cs will be missed if the fight goes south (your adc dying) or you have to fight with a minion disadvantage as the enemies will likely try to kite back towards their side of the map letting their new arriving minions help out faster than yours. Unfortunately in low elo people don't really know how to set up slow pushes and stuff.

"It is not your fault, however it is your responsibility to deal with the situation." Solid life advice there Petu.
"It's not your fault, but it is your responsibility" is an amazing quote!
today i learned that petu doesnt say "greetings erverywhere" but instead "greeting dear viewer" and it makes me ponder about life
I did it some videos ago too
WTF he doesnt say greeting (to) everywhere??
"greetings drearviewER"@@Tugreo
I thought he sayd ''Greetings there viewer''
greetings to river

Phase rush volibear with either of the sunfire items. You proc phase rush very easily, and can keep up anyone after the stun.

08:07 sheeeeeesh
13:08 is insane, If it was me I would have tp'ed or backed off. Doesn't look killable to me
Would fleet be better compared to phase rush against poke heavy champs like karma?
Probably less outplay potential but way easier to use

Agree. The briar ended up killing karma twice and became super strong. It probably won't happen if they were flaming.

love your videos bro ❤
Isn't fleet better though? Provides sustain and movement speed from the wave
The sustain scales worse than phase rush imo, tho petu uses Fleet with eclipse + D Blade i think.
Nimbus Cloak from ignite arguably is better than proccing fleet on minions for engage too.
love u shen man

More shen mid lane please ^^
Lmao i was thinking going Serpents Fang in this game, but only if Zeri were to build Shieldbow and she actually did it.
Isn't Aftershock achieving the same goal as Phase rush, but better?
Yes and No, Nimbus Cloak comes in very handy with ignite.
Rush mobility let's you disengage much safer if you also missed your E, which can happen quite some times if the enemy laner has mobility like Karma E in this case.
