I hate the new Shen.

Never played a shen game where i could of had 6-7 last hits if only i had a ranged q. I HATE THE NEW Q its slow doesnt really add much since it scales off ap and the new sheen has mana crystal to start which doesnt help shen. His farm took a shit since after using his w he just gets all inned no matter the lane. No damage reduction after landing E which asks the question why bother taunting if youre just gonna get rolled on. You can build all armor do no damage and still get all inned. try and build ap/attack speed and still get all inned. Shen cant even make lanes neutral anymore since his farming is shit without his ranged q to last hit or create a threat. No one is affraid of his Q anymore its only a slow that is basically impossible to land and doesnt really do shit even if it does land.It also shows where you are across the map unless youre spamming it wasting energy to hide it or bring it with you which is just dumb. id be happy with everything else if they just gave his old Q and passive back.

Shen has a lot of way to interact with enemies now! He can... well... all in them with his taunt and bring his sword to him.

Shen's Q deals a lot of damage and doesn't need AP to do it.

EQW if you're afraid of the damage you'll take during the taunt, but usually it's not a big deal because you're locking an enemy down for your team to destroy.

Even without the energy, you'll probably get a fat shield from a passive proc for a huge chunk of your health.

--Shen rework is a MEGA NERF to something that was in a healthy spot.

--Top lane? His lane in general is much weaker now, and he can't resort to farming in losing match ups because he is now an all in melee champ with no ranged abilities.

--Jungle? So many other picks that are SO much better... His jungle is just meh. Why play him when you can pick better AND more fun stuff?

--Support? About the only place he is still viable, and there are still much better picks.

--The only thing that shows any potential is that he might be picked by teams that can coordinate his ult well. But even so, I think his presence will be lower overall, compared to the old Shen. Which was unique. And fun. New one is just a Vi/Orianna/crippled Shen version. :(

I am LOSING MY MIND! Oh my god, my enemies always escape with fifteen health! When they decide they are at risk of dying, they just turn around and walk away and there's nothing I can do about it. The taunt will be on cooldown by the end of any fight. They aren't afraid of Shen and if they become afraid, they just politely excuse themselves and escape with almost zero health. I JUST NEED TO LAST HIT! Oh my god, the new Shen might be fun to play if he was able to get more than 5% of the kills he deserves.

Just give it some time. I see great potential in this Shen. And yes, i loved old Shen.
