QoL for Shen

Can we make Shen's Q an auto reset? Almost every empowered AA is a reset, even item 3748 active. Yes, Shen gets to AA 3 times with the Q, but so does RekSai.

This doesn't really have anything to do with actual balance (idk how much that one extra AA's worth of damage in his combo would have), but it would feel much smoother if it reset his auto timer.

Auto resets add a huge amount of damage, especially in early game trades.

Also it would feel way stranger than you think because Shen's Q doesn't activate until the sword reaches him, so that auto reset would be delayed by an amount based on how far the sword is from you.

If Q reset the auto, Shen would probably have to be nerfed around the high-end (perfect Q auto-auto combo where the sword hits him directly after the animation of the first auto) and would strongly hurt his winrates in lower elos where players don't have the mechanical skill to time it properly and would either get their Q arriving early and interrupting their autos, reducing their damage, or the Q arriving late so the reset happens during when they would have next attacked anyways for a net benefit of zero.
