Prediction for Shen

Robert Smith··2 votes·313 views

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 Fiora andSkarner , I believe Shen 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 Skarner 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).Fiora was considered a bit weak on release but was then quickly deemed OP.

I feel like the same thing willl hapen to Shen . 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.

Honestly, fiora needed the nerfs, skarner as well. So basically there was nothing wrong with nerfing 60% winrate skarner or fiora with even more damage. And if shen needs the nerfs as well ( I have no idea how he is, never played against the new shen yet) then riot will adjust him, if not then not. I mean, velkoz was released and not nerfed for a long time, why should it be different with shen?

Reworks usually come out as a bit OP. Vel was a new champ enitirely, hence the fiora and skarner rework examples
