Good to know that you turned Shen in to the top lane Rek-Sai.

**Overbearing in professional play, essentially useless to everyone else. **

I've seen a lot of reworks not really hit the mark, but this one was by far the worst to me. But I guess that's pretty much a standard when you put a large majority of a champion's power budget in to their Q. Here's an idea, keep the gigantic damage reduction on his Q the way it is. In return, maybe....

  • Get rid of the stupid minigame in his kit? No one wants to play against themselves while they're playing against an opponent.

  • Give his multi-teammate sustain back? You know, considering it was an incredibly unique ability that to this day no one else has a similar function to. But I guess there was no room for that when you could just add tons of extra damage. ON A FULL TANK.

  • Put the 50% damage reduction back on his taunt. The entire point of a champion being a full tank, ESPECIALLY one with a taunt, is the ability to force your enemies to harm themselves. What the fuck kind of full tank doesn't synergize with THORNMAIL? The unfortunate answer to that is a champion that completely lost it's identity from an incredibly average rework that was way off mark.

TL:DR; Keep the damage nerfs. But compensate with something that makes his kit more rounded and closer thematically to the old Shen.

riot removed most defensive boosts. that are pure damage mitigation. for example. poppy old passive or the damage reduction on shen taunt. so you know. you just die really quick no matter how tanky you are.

lets give. adc's. 20% more damage. from a keystone. alone. and lets give tanks. 300 health that they have to stack up. or lets give them. 5% bonus BONUS armor and MR.

what a fucking joke.

How about nerf his damage, and his nerf other stuff too. Fuck Shen, he's a safe, mobile, and high damage tank. LOL, such a fun design to play against. He already has his W to deal with taunting, why give him more?
