Am I missing something? I keep seeing ridiculous things like people jungling with Shen. Is this one of those things where it happened a long time ago and stupid people are just catching on now and trying it? Like AP Yi? I don't understand. It never works out well. Why bother?

Jungle Shen is good. Good sustain with Q, good shield with W, and E for ganks. Ult for global.

Yeah what are you talking about? His ganks are some of the strongest because of the taunt, he's in a better spot for map control because he doesn't have to worry about another champ or last hitting, which means his ult is better off that way. His clear time sucks early game, but it picks up and he can easily leave the jungle w/ full health every time.

If you've never seen it work well, then actually wait until you see someone who's good comes along. You're level 28, if you're complaining someone is doing poorly, the game doesn't start until level 30.

As far as more trolly things go (AP yi, for instance, which in reality isn't that trolly) is that no one knows how to counter something they don't see often. .... Except AD veigar. No one can counter that. (As long as you use yordles for runes and dravens for quints, you should be able to win any lane.)
