Shen's Rework - How big will it be?

So according to the champion update schedule, Shen is in line for a gameplay update. This has me curious because I've been playing him this week and have discovered that I really love playing the champ. Does anyone have any information about how drastic this gameplay update will be? is this like Miss Fortune level where they're just moving things around, or closer to something like Graves or Gangplank where there's some substantially new play mechanics introduced? I am thinking about buying Shen to play him more, but i don't want to do so if his play pattern is going to change drastically from the one that got me interested in him in the first place.

Shen Kit Rework: Gankplank Level Vu Update: Alistar/Maokai Level. If they decide to make him feel more tanky in apparence, we can expect more armor on shen without taking off his ninja theme or changing too much his actual apparence. PROBABLY a new splash art to fit his new apparence. ( Not a big change so I wont be worry about that ) A New P/Q/W is highly expected. Ult and E Stay the same with some minor adjustement. His new P/Q/W should feel like the same purpose but in a more interesting way and help shen to protect his team in a more fency way than just Ult-E.

Riot Goal For Shen is to bring more coolness/interactivity/satisfaction on his signature (Shen The eye of twilight, Protector, ultimate balance, Ninja, Master of kinkou order, etc)

Thats being said, Im Scared xD But Riot Said They dont want to change him drasticly... Lets hope they wont screw our lord and savior. item 3070

i would bet on a larger update. mainly because his options as a tank are fairly limited. his ult is godlike, but otherwise he kinda lacks the hard engage that tanks need.
