Shen top has become something of a troll pick thanks to his poularity in the pro scene earning him repeated nerfs.
We were promised a while ago that Shen would be kept playable in Solo Queue, but he feels worse to play top lane almost every patch.
Since you guys are shipping tank buffs to PBE soon, any plans to give top lane Shen back some of the power he needs to lane?
D357R0Y3R2 votesHe said only tanks that are healthy are going to get buffed
Shen is not healthy
Fízz v22 votesI think they should delay the ult shield or something, sucks to never be able to all in mid or bot because the enemy top laner has an instant global 300 hp shield [sg-janna]
D357R0Y3R1 votesbetter how about removing the shield?
dota2 has a fuck ton of global spells, not a single one of them prevents you from killing a dude in 1v1
in league, we get galio and shen being a balance nightmare hehe
Melledoneus2 votesWe'll be buffing some individual tanks in 8.16, particularly those who've been historically healthy even when strong and/or that we've overnerfed this year.
I think it's safe to say Shen has been overnerfed this year, seeing as how his main role went from being a viable solo laner to a kamikaze support.
Salvor Hardın1 votesSince it's not viable in top at the moment
@Meddler Are there any plans to make Shen viable in Jungle?
Ahpe1 votesEmphasize the duelling in Shen's kit and focus less on the protective side. Get rid of what a gimmick his W is too.
Boulderox1 votesIt is the case of some champions, 
, when they are strong, they tend to be TOO strong.
In the case of shen, he can do whatever he wants because he has a TP ult.... It comes down to what does shen have to trade off for free split pushes with teamfights 4v5? which in most casess is nothing. That and the fact there is so much freaking damage that they will burst through shens shield, so :/ idk man The gamestate is screwed.
Warlord Rhinark1 votesI still want that revert.
oHammeRo1 votesJust give it up Mell. They will never respond to a balance thread about Shen. They will just keep nerfing him untill he is completly forgotten, and maybe in another 5 years they will finaly fix this god awfull mess he is.
