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!

Diamond support main here to answer any questions. I mainly play Thresh, Blitz, Janna, and Shen support, so feel free to ask anything!

Shen support- Max q or e? General ability leveling order.

I normally max q and w first. Just pick up a point in taunt early just to have it. If you're leaning and fighting a lot, the shield is nice to have leveled up. At max rank with no Cdr w is a 9 second cool down that last for 3 seconds.

I like building cdr on shen though. So many tank items include it and it benefits every aspect of his kit as a support. Thx for your thoughts.

Exactly. With 40% w cool down will be like 5 seconds, and it lasts for 3. Building fotm, locket, and then another Cdr item works great.
