Shen Possible Tweaks?
I was playing Shen recently and once again I'm thrown off on the fact that everything he does scales with AP. I mean he's a tank that wants to build enough health to never die. Why doesn't anything but Shen's passive scale with health? I mean the random Ki Strike auto doesn't change team fights or even really do more than help him in laning. Shen's really only have two abilities in team fights. Shadow Dash and Stand United. His Q doesn't help out in an obvious way while a basic shield on a tank isn't useful if no one is attacking him which no one should.
The only change that I could suggest that wouldn't break him is to make his W shield scale with health similar to Nautilus's. I mean if we made his ult shield scale with health that'd be broken as mess. His E doesn't need damage, it's meant to be a taunt and it does that perfectly. His Q could scale of health and that would help with laning but not during team fights. So instead of damage maybe have the healing it does scale with health.
I know that Shen's a very team based champ but I just feel like his kit isn't being utilized in the best way that it could scaling wise. Anyone have an thoughts or suggestions based off that or is he fine the way he is?
loses some less appreciable power and instead gets optimized in other ways. I think the best thing to trade off would be to remove Shen's Q sustain (including the ally heal mark), and instead buff his personal shield to scale with health and change his Q so that it promotes fighting, and not just poking for free point-and-click damage. I wouldn't make too much of Shen's kit scale with health, but he definitely deserves more visible power progression as he builds items, beyond just raw statistical strength.
