Can we rework the Shen rework already?

Shen has seen a huge drop off in play (atleast at my elo) since the rework and I think it's in a huge part because he became even less satisfying to play. Almost everyone I knew that used to play Shen says they just don't want to anymore because he's so boring. Also, having a sword he drags around on a leash just doesn't really fit the whole ninja fantasy or even really make much sense. I was expecting some sort of shadowy dashing evasion tank but what we got was.... a dude with a glowstick.

I think it's safe to say the rework made him somehow even less engaging than he was before the rework. Maybe it's time to start considering some new mechanics for him? Maybe a way to throw / retrieve his sword?

Yea, i noticed that. I had loved his ranged Q but this new Q makes him more stategic in hia movements. Kinda like how Azir is almost like playing chess with his soldiers.

I have to admit that I picked up Shen shortly before his rework and I really liked him. I didn't really understand his rework, and I haven't really spent much time learning it since. I can't really comment on his position right now, but I can say that I have lost a little bit of interest in his kit because it doesn't 'feel' strong at first sight. So i guess my new goal will be to learn him a bit more now that you mentioned it.
