Well.

A good Darius, Camille and Fiora can pretty much stomp everyone so I don't think you can use it as an excuse to buff Shen.

As a Mastery 7 Shen, who the fuck is this "we"?

Don't couple me with the likes of you. Shen became a seriously great dueler with this update.

I think a Q rework would be good. I feel like the part of it where whoever it passes through gets MS slow when walking away from you is not very good (it is decent but i feel a different passive would be better) .

What if we ditched the whole spirit sword mechanic and made his W a targeted ranged attack that reduced enemy resistances, his Q a sweeping AoE attack that had the same scaling it does now, and his passive gave him a shield per ability casted which refreshed once cooldowns were low enough...?

Perhaps the shield could even decay into gray health over time after say three seconds, which could then be regenerated.

It would most likely make him pretty broken when coupled with Titanic Hydra, and a tank that shreds resistance is kind of nonsense (don't compare him with Darius or Garen. Tank =/= Juggernaut).

Oh please. Shen is no tank by design; his base HP is fighter at best and his base resistances are mediocre with no defensive steroid except his AoE blind shields. Shen hasnt been the space marine he used to be since the relaunch, where riots change for the sake of change policy turned him into a bruiser who deals magic damage. Also, just like vorpal blades healing, The resistance debuff would only be a useful trading tool... and perhaps give him some extra team utility. Its amazing what some kind of debuff marker does for telling people what to aim at.

I feel like the whole spirit sword thing was just so out of left field, and didn't really enhance the character in any meaningful way.

Just another part of riots "change for the sake of change" policy, with its normal trumpian results.
