Hi Aitzo,

I don't think crits are the way to go with Erlang Shen, not just in general with his kit (e.g. attack progression), but even more so with the crit nerfs in S9.
  • He already gets less out of crits than most gods, due to his attack progression/multiplier of 0.75 / 0.75 / 0.75 / 1.1 / 0.9x. If you don't know what I'm talking about or would like a further explanation on how this works with crits, please let me know.

  • Crits are nerfed in S9. Instead of base 2x damage, it's going to be 1.75x.

  • For situational items, I don't think I'd recommend Odysseus' Bow. I think Qin's Sais should 100% be at least an option.

  • Your skill leveling is a bit weird. 100% your first priority should be maxing your 3. Then you can choose between the 1 or the 2 next. Most don't level the ult past 1 until late-game.
