Shen's Rework has some awful points

like i thought his W is terrible, but there is also his E cooldown

his Q went from a reliable poke to a 3 hit attack, which means he needs his E more than before, why riot increased his taunt's cooldown?

because he needs counterplay

lol... His counterplay is pretty much any champion with poke. Vlad is going to massacre him even more then before. ANY champion with poke is pretty much going to shit on Shen without even the slightest possibility of retaliation. He's a support now, there is no way to lane with him top against the vast majority of champions. He might be able to lane against Irelia and Jax, but they will outscale and it will be a farm lane.

you're an ADC, shen rushes you and hit you with his Q. If he doesn't have a long cooldown dash then you won't be able to reposition yourself

So what you're saying is... Shen is a support now.

Or Shen can taunt the ADC in teamfights.

that's impossible with the range on his taunt, and if shen taunt the adc, shen's ADC will have no peel

I'm sorry I have to say this, but please just stop. You aren't contributing anything useful at this point. You don't seem interested in thinking of ways it could be remedied. You keep saying the same thing over. and over. and over. and over. and over again. We get it, you don't like the rework, but please, keep an open mind about it. let Riot know what you think they can change about his kit, outside of "Give him a ranged poke that heals him again."

I haven't once asked for his Q back... All I've said is that the rework is garbage, which it is. You wanna know how to make the Shen rework not utter garbage?.... easy

Get rid of the ridiculous, and gimmicky sword, it's plain stupid and ugly as hell. It has nothing to do with Shen's old abilities, and feels tacked on to the new ones. Instead just make the size of his W smaller, and have it basically be like Akali's shroud in how it is placed.

Now, Q (or his passive) needs to help in one of these areas
