Shen is unplayable in low-elo ranked
Title says it all, his toolset needs updated for the current meta, its no longer useful whatsoever. WR in low elo is probably <20% Call me a whiner or bad at the game, but try Shen against any top lane champ without a decent jungle support or a team that runs when you ult in. He's not sustainable as a solo carry champ like every other top laner.
Mordekaiser > Shen Nautilus > Shen Olaf > Shen Teemo > Shen Nasus > Shen Tryndamere > Shen Darius > Shen
Every champion outpokes and maintains lane better and 9/10 will get first turret, their damage also scales better. Shen's ultimate is just plain useless in low elo. It's abit better in normals because there are plenty of smurfs and people who know how to play the game. But trying to climb is awful. It should be the goal of Riot games to make every champion equally balanced and not favor one over the other.
Solution: -Replace Shen's ultimate with something useful like an attack (inb4 people say shen's ult is useful when used correctly. True, however I can count the times my team actually took advantage of my ult properly in the last 10 game son one hand. Its taken advantage of 9/10 and shen is left as bait for a 5v1 feast. IT IS NOT USEFUL in all elos)
-ideas a. he can teleport to one enemy on the map or one ally, if he choses ally they get a shield, if he choses an enemy they get rooted or take massive damage b. his sword shoots out a wave similar to ezreal c. his sword pulls enemies in and roots them
-Make him a bruiser instead of a tank (i.e. Jax, Zin, Wu Kong etc.) -Why? because he isn't enough of a tank to compare to the other tanks in top lane anyways, even with full hp/armor/mr builds. He also doesnt do enough damage to compete with ANYONE after level 3 or 4. He is probably the weakest of all tanks in the top lane meta right now and has poor damage scaling.
