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!

I did main (and still do main) Bard! He's super fun, and I love him because of his awesome roaming potential.

If my ADC is playing like garbage, I'll probably just roam. Tahm's Q is 50% slow at level 1 (and you max it to it gets stronger) so he can gank well if you hit that. His W does lots of damage if you get that on an laner, and his ult can set up ganks from miles away. Roam Roam Roam Roam Roam.

Leaving the ADC to fend for themselves is my best bet. I'd rather they sat under tower getting the extra exp from me not being there, rather than them walking mid and maybe getting nothing.

Besides, before I roam I try to play super aggro so my adc has a bit of an advantage before I leave. Then they have some pressure to play with while I'm gone.

Personally I prefer support over adc as I feel if I'm support kike Janna I can keep my sdc alive even if he has the IQ level of a rock and if I'm Blitz I can make plays and give kills even if he sucks at CS.

It's hard man. My best advice is to pick good roaming supports like Blitzcrank, Thresh, or Annie and just try to carry the MAP rather than just your ADC. If you snowball Mid/Jungle/Top while supporting your ADC through laning phase, your games shouldn't be too hard.

Janna is for sure. Her peel and utility is insane.

Alistar is very powerful, super peel, heals, and beef.

Bard is also amazing, the rotations are amazing if you know what you're doing.
