Okay some thoughts about Shen.

I've been playing Shen since before his rework, thought that would be some helpfull information to add. I've been through the good patches with him and through the rough patches.

But right now I just don't feel like he's worth it anymore, that even when he's one of my favorite champions to play. But now, this season in paticular, I've started to struggle. With the decreasing effectiveness of tank items, the nerfs he has recieved because of proplay and the rise of damage and true damage on items just make it very unforgiving to play Shen or a champion like Shen in my opinion.

His waveclear is nothing to brag about, he basicly needs a titanic hydra to even be able to clear a wave. His ult has recieved multiple nerfs aswel. Making his impact on the game when he ults less impactfull with each. But he still gets picked in proplay. Why? Because the teams are cordinated, leaving the casual players with a shell of the champion Shen used to be.

So here's the thing I kind of started to type this for. I would love to see him getting some sort of rework on his Q and W abillities. I'd settle down for a q revert to what it used to be. Because at the rate it's currently going with him.. I don't see myself having a lot of fun playing him anymore.

I know that there's next to no chance me wirting about this would even make a way for change in this issue. But it felt kinda good to be able to write my thoughts about it.

Sincerely Pheobos, _A long time Shen player who's lost hope in the champion. _

If Riot is scared of Shen proplay they should buff shen in ways that for sure wont matter in proplay.

like adding AP Ratio to ki-barrier and shadow dash. back in the day I used to play AP bruiser shen but ever since his rework he got all his good AP ratios and instead got one ridiculous SUPER RATIO on his R shield (wtf?).

Sacrificing a entire champion slot to give your carry a Kai'sa shield every 90 seconds is so bleugh....

How to change Shen so he can be balanced:

  1. Nerf Ult to make it a range like Galio and TF
  2. Buff laning phase because no he has some power he can put elsewhere besides a super impactful Ult.
