Prediction for Shen
was never a weak pick to me. A good Shen can help carry a game and makes every bad engage turn around, all while pushing a lane by himself. With the recent trends like
and
, I believe
will appear weak at first and then seem super OP. But not with the new stuff added. People will complain his ult is always up or that they can't escape when taunted, all while his new skills get ignored even though they give him the damage.
When
came out with his rework people complained about his ult saying it had no counter. Most of my ganks were not near his zones and mid levels (6-10), it was just that people did not know what my kit was so they could not play around it (people still ask what the zones do).
was considered a bit weak on release but was then quickly deemed OP.
I feel like the same thing willl hapen to
. And instead of learning to play against him, people will just perma-ban him and give up when he gets ahead in lane. Then Riot will nerf him until he loses popularity probably due to lose of strength.
