Hello, I previously made a post about heartsteel shen being dead despite me still building it,

I took everyone's advice about not building it and going directly into titanic and dusk and dawn, I did so, and I STOMPED the garen matchup ... I still lost the game but I was like 19/2/5.

I went titanic -> DND ->Bandlepipes -> rookern -> Dead mans

along with MR boots somewhere in between

The game felt amazing and SOOOO smooth, the early game waveclear is so nice,

Thank you all for the advice and I look forward to climbing more with Shen!!

Hello,

I never see anyone build heartsteel anymore. I am high gold/low plat and build it pretty often and I feel like it offers SO much damage with empowered Q+Grasp+heartsteel proc and with ignite I can almost one shot like any squishy, then I go Hollow Radiance into Titanic and I scale well and the wave clear is amazing. Is there a reason nobody builds heartsteel? I know it got nerfed and takes time to get value from but I feel like it's worth it. (usually my last two items are thornmail and dusk and dawn or deadmans)
