Shen Balancing

Just throwing this in throughout the midst of all the chaos, I'm a dedicated Shen player with over a mil in champ mastery and was wondering what people thought if these changes were to be made and would it make Shen "OP".

Twilight Assault: (Option 1) -Damage scales off of Shens Max HP. (Option 2) -Same Ratios as now but instead of the AP scaling make it AD based (and the reasoning behind the ratios are to keep him from hitting too hard since he already does a % of a champs Max HP as damage)

Shadow Dash: (Option 1) -Retain HP scaling, does magic damage (Option 2) -Scale off of Attack Damage

These changes would only be to bring back the "Fighter" half of Shen and/or give him a little more (don't want to say damage) credibility or variety as compared to other tanks.

Magic damage taunt I can get behind, only major change he needs in my books is his hitboxes. They're very sketchy, sometimes hitting when they shouldn't and missing when they shouldn't.

with all due honesty the if you add the old shen taunt alone he would be op and ppl would really play him again. his old taunt was a very strong skill that engage and lowers colliding champs ad by half for 1.5 seconds. or if the taunt was to add more seconds to it =OP

I don't think Shen needs any changes, he is in a pretty good spot balance wise. His numbers are hard to tweak without being too strong. What they could do is give him the Q damage that was removed a few patches ago

Direct damage and slow when Q passes through, rather than extra auto buff.

What I think you're missing is that old Shen really had the ability to win his lane. That was because his damage passive made him strong and aggressive at levels 1-3. Snowball that and you could win.

New dorans shield may be Shen buff.
