Spirit Blade = Clippy

I appreciate that Shen is getting some attention, but seriously, Shen's Spirit Blade looks like a ball and chain that he is dragging around. Can we please have this changed? This might be a waste of time, but I am definitely going to share an idea that I thought would be a much cooler Spirit Blade idea while still maintaining some of the old Vorpal Blade feel.

Scrap the floating ball and chain. The Spirit Blade just sits on his back. He can throw the blade forward, just in a line skillshot, but halfway through its distance it warps behind him and continues to approach Shen from behind. He then catches the blade and wields it as he does in his update and uses it to proc the bonus damage.

This could lead to some interesting skill combination where you can throw your blade forward, dash through an enemy, and cause them to be hit by the blade twice as it progresses through its full path. Then Shen can catch the blade and continue to attack the enemy champion while they are taunted.

Here is my crappy MS paint attempt to visualize the idea.
