New builds EVERYWHERE.

With what S3 has now. No particular order (PLEASE NOTE) THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT. Wit's is not included because it's mr got nerfed by 10 and bulwark with mercs is the best go to mr items.

Merc treads, Frozen Mallet, Statikk shiv, Bulwark, Randuin's, Atma's Impaler.

What this build aims to do on shen. Restore some of the split pushing power he had before while keeping similar strength for himself and when he ults in.

Mallet - always a good item on shen, slows, lots of hp, what isn't to like?

Statikk shiv - I would say it is worse than sparks but it provides a new and interesting option for him, crit. It accomplishes split pushing+attack speed in the build.

Bulwark - Holy crap awesome amazing Aegis upgrade. There is no way shen won't get this. It gives all around defenses, an aura that is amazing when he ults in, tons of hp, and so on.

Randuin's - Pretty standard armor item for no mana characters. Has less individual armor but now gives more hp. A plus in Shen's book.

Atma's - Building from Avarice blade? Gives crit for statikk shiv? Synergizes with tons and tons of hp you now have from the new build? Yes please.

It should be noted Atma's was in consideration for the hp but also because it built out of Avarice blade which is now 10% crit? 4gp/10 And 2 extra gold on kill (I assume this includes minion kills because of the low number). That makes Atma's a lot more efficient and a great item on him. Both Statikk shiv and atma's builds out of avarice, but why not just buy one, upgrade, then buy another? totally worth it with the gold it gives.

Order? Hmm...Boots, Phage, Avarice blade, hp portion of aegis, boots 2, Upgrade avarice to shiv+get another avarice, upgrade to aegis, get armor portion of randuin's, Upgrade aegis to bulwark, upgrade phage to mallet, upgrade to atma's or randuin's depending on what you need.

Randuin's for more CC if team doesn't have enough, Atma's for more individual damage.
