So has any of you guys played SUpport Shen? I think since last buffs, he is a strong support though he is outclassed by other more dedicated supports. Vorpal Blade has a MaxHP Scaling Heal and it's a pretty strong sustain tool and thanks to Shadow Dash having a reduced Energy cost as it levels, making the strong first max as support Shen. Plus the fact that you gain a Lot of CDR from cheap HP items like Face of the Mountain and Aegis of the Legion, making Stand United staggering CD less bull.

However, like I said, there are better dedicated supports at what he does best which is a Sustain Bodyguard with Kill Pressure. Who are better? Alistar completely outclasses him in his own niche and both Nautilus and Thresh have better Kill Pressure. For a pure Sustain Lane, Soraka is better and so is Sona and for actual Bodyguards Braum is kinda better thanks to Unbreakable and Morgana and Black Shield.

But for what he brings as a Support, he is good. Pretty good.
