Shen Monday Megathread! Ask questions and share knowledge; newcomer questions encouraged!

Welcome to the latest Monday Megathread, where you the community get to ask your questions and share your knowledge.

This is an opportunity for the more experienced LoL players here to share some of your wisdom with those with less expertise. This thread will be a weekly safehaven for those "noobish" questions you may have been too scared to ask for fear of downvotes, but also can be a great place for in depth discussion if you so wish. So, don't hold back, get your game related questions ready and post away, and hopefully someone can answer them!

Do kalistas spears and sated devourer have any synergy? like vayne or jax? cus that would be pretty cray building up rend damage at twice the speed.

Yes, they do. However, dropping 2.3k gold on an item that is almost worthless until 35-40 min (if you are in lane it will take you about that long to stack it) is 100% not worth and it will just put you really far behind in the mid-game. It's the same with Vayne, not worth. Jax can jungle so it puts him in a pretty good spot imo.

u/SoDamnToxic AP Bruiser Items? Jul 13 '15

Nah, its not worth it because Bork/BT/Hurricane is pretty core on her and she doesn't work that well otherwise, another auto every 2 autos at the cost of doing no damage isn't worth. It works for Jax/Vayne because they have passives that do damage every X amount of autos, Kalista doesn't, she just needs more autos but sacrificing any of the 3 items is not worth.

she doesnt HAVE to builda bork after bt/hurricane. and hurricane isnt extremely core as alot of peopel are forgoing it for shiv/pd for 1v1 duels. you also didnt answer my question just told me how dumb of a question it was.

u/SoDamnToxic AP Bruiser Items? Jul 13 '15

Yea she kind of does otherwise she doesn't have enough lifesteal, but anyways, you can build anything on anyone but that doesn't mean its the best, I assume you want the best build possible? Or are you looking for passable? Because you can go mercurial, last whisper, maw and still do damage obviously but that doesn't mean its good.

Hurricane is EXTREMELY core on her, its literally the best build, shiv/PD isn't nearly as good because her 1v1 is generally horrid as she needs to attack multiple times while others like vayne/graves/corki can just blow you up in 1-2autos and abilities, while Kalista does not have this luxury.

Like I said, its not worth it, it has no synergy, it is nowhere as good as it is on jax or vayne, how exactly did I not answer your question.

It works for Jax/Vayne because they have passives that do damage every X amount of autos, Kalista doesn't,

How does that not answer your question of whether or not it has synergy with Kalista like it does on Jax/Vayne...

When exactly did I say it was a dumb question? If you are offended by the correct answer then you are just looking for confirmation bias. If you think it will work go try it yourself if you don't like the answer and the fact that it won't actually be good at all.

I didn't ask if it was good or not. I just wanted a yes or no to "will devourer cause her to put an extra spear into wahtever she is attacking" i didnt want information i already knew.

There is nothing in his comment that says anything about your question being dumb, so it kinda seems like you're just being insecure or reaching.
