Shen's Taunt

Fisk·Jan 2, 2015·1 votes·760 views

In a recent set of posts from the community and meddler the idea of Shen being an assassin tank, in the sense that he removes people from the fight for extended periods of time, came up. I had a thought on this. What if Shen's taunt was now a single target blink, suiting his ninja theme (ninja appearing in your back line? very ninja like) and would contain a single person for a longer duration. make it so shen always appears behind the champ so he can really only draw them out of the fight rather than into his team then increase the duration of the taunt greatly. If you did that as well, you could increase his single target damage reduction greatly and increase all of his single target effects as well. Just an interesting idea I was thinking about.

Some unintended consequences would be loss of multiple party 50% dmg reduction for 1.5seconds. He'd melt a little quicker due to that. Also the multiple 40 energy regained per person on taunt(s), his energy maintenance isn't so hot and this is one of only 2 methods that are part of his kit for getting some of that back. Others being runes and blue buff.

I think they could also lower the amount of energy this costs, along with adding other energy regain mechanics. The melting problem is an issue, but honestly if hes using it correctly it shouldn't be because he will be removing the largest source of damage from the fight and negating more damage from that source so it will probably break close to even while adding a good ability to his kit.
