After Playing Just One Game as Shen...

I could immediately see how desperately and obviously in need of buffs he is. Even someone who doesn't play Shen can clearly see that he's just in a bad place right now. His taunt costs a very high amount of energy considering it just clips through people half the time. Q offers very little health return, and W is worse than Jarvan's shield.

He's going through a tough stage in his life. He needs our support, guys. :(

On PBE his E is dropping in cost.

This pleases me in many ways. How much of a drop is it?

Down to 100 energy (from 120).

To be fair a lot of the power on his kit comes from having the only global teleport in the game - that's why his stats are so low.

...Aside from Rek'Sai now. But her whole kit is built around mapwide mobility.

And she doesn't have the protection that Shen does. I wouldn't mind if they dropped it from global to just wide area if it meant his shields could scale off something different.

That statement does not bring validity to your argument...

I'm just saying that the people calling out for Shen buffs aren't just Shen players. From a completely unbiased standpoint, Shen seems very weak.

Unbiased is not the correct word either. It is biased because you do not have many games with him :/.

As someone who has seen both Shen at his weakest and his strongest he isn't in a too terrible of a place at the moment

I would argue the issue is less about buffing Shen and nerfing the ever increasing power creep that is happening in League Altho that 20 energy QOL is nice, they should leave that

I played shen yesterday 1 time and thought he was still alright, the only problem I had was the fact that his taunt width is TINY.

I hate Shen. He can't do anything to help a losing team, but he makes a winning team unstoppable. He's more of a snowball than anything Nunu throws.
