Will Shen's ult be getting a rework?

Rek'sai's ult got a mini rework due to it being incredibly hard to balance for both pro play and live. Shen is pretty much in the same boat. Will his kit be reworked to make it easier to balance for pro and live?

I love his ultimate though lol.

The biggest hurdle I see coming Shen's way is this trend of separating tanks from damage dealers. Shen without some damage just isn't that good honestly and is basically just an ult bot. The item changes have already hurt him and Titanic doesn't feel as good with less health from tank items.

He has some light CC sure, but he's not like a Galio or one of those big tanks with game changing CC. They need to either rework his ult, which I'm kind of against tbh, or they need to maybe sacrifice some tankiness and up his damage to push him more into a fighter role.

Thanks for giving your opinion in a well written post instead of taking one look at the title of my thread and downvoting (it's okay if you still downvoted)

Shen needs a Warwick quality rework, not the one he got before.

Shens is much more balanced because it requires an ally.

Shen also can't 'see' people over walls.

I think Shen is fine, the problem is people in solo queue play him like he's a pure tank, he really isn't. He has the ability to do insane damage with his Q auto attacks, and his ult gives him the strongest global presence in the game.
