I think it's about time Shen gets a buff

This may be disagreed by a lot of people but believe it or not many will agree Shen isn't that great of a champion in the top lane. He is practically countered in majority of his match ups in top and his early-game clear is so bad its impossible to scale as Shen. Although he is tanky, he isn't that tanky, well not enough tanky for him to sacrifice good wave clear, attack speed, and damage. Every match up I've had playing as Shen there really wasn't any time where he had any advantage on the enemy laner. Simply buffing his passive shield duration and base health is all he really needs, and maybe making his W a bit more useful would be good as well. This is just my opinion, feel free to state yours. summoner 4 item 3147

The problem is that his ultimate limits how strong he's allowed to be. It's like Ornn, his ultimate is that good that the rest of the kit is held hostage by it.

My least favorite part about new Shen is that they made him into a tank/duelist who cannot duel. Playing Shen top lane? Good luck fighting or surviving in lane against:

Jax Fiora Irelia Renekton Darius Tryndamere or any other laner who duels and has more mobility/sustainable damage than you. By the time you would scale and buy a Titanic Hydra, Triforce, Wit's End, or any other duelist item, your team is suffering from your lack of tank or you're dying in fights because they've bought the same items or more. Even then if you have a huge lead, you sacrifice so much survivability by building damage that it's just not worth it most of the time if late game were to come.

Atleast you got that sick ult though, right?
