Shen changes incoming?

I recently read that Shen will be receiving "adjustments" to his kit. Is Riot planning on another small scale rework for the guy or are they just putting more thought into his flat numbers?

I understand Riot isn't happy with the spirit sword mechanics they gave him. Taking that into consideration and the recent (and past ) issues with his ult it sounded like it was to be a rework. Just wanted to ask if there was any light on this topic yet. Do you guys think he needs a new kit?

They haven't given any specifics yet.

Meddler just mentioned that they are trying to give him balance(ironic right) between pro play and solo queue. His ult is one of the strongest tools an organized team can use to win the early-mid game. The issue is if they nerf the ultimate, his base abilities are lacking compared to other top laners, and they would most likely have to buff those numbers up or reduce his early game cooldowns, which would make him a stronger top laner and jungler.

I'd say that Riot needs to buff Shen's passive either in duration OR in scale(something like 10-15% of max health instead of it's current really low value)

More likely numbers, they say 7.8. but i do hope they rework something.

Most likely shifting power from his ultimate to his solo tools.

They're definitely, if not that, going to increase the reliability of his abilities so that he can perform better at lower divisions and not as much better in the LCS.
