Shens shadow dash energy cost still too high

Valhalla Rising··1 votes·315 views

compared to the other energy users, shen relies heavily on his mobility spell shadow dash but its hardly used more than once per skirmish because he needs to spam his q and w for sustain, leaving his energy pool empty most of the time.

kennens lightning rush is easier to land on enemies for energy restore, and he doesnt need it quite so much because he is ranged with cc, so his energy pool is more flexible.

lee sins safeguard only costs 50 energy, zeds living shadow is only 20, and akalis shadow dance costs nothing!

please lower the cost of shens shadow dash to a manageable 60 energy. tac on 2 more seconds to the cooldown for balance, still going to get used more on average.

That is intended.... basically it was the only way to stop shen from becoming overpowered. Forcing him to land the dash in order to be efficient.

its not too high just needs wider (not the taunt itself) just the aoe dmg ability to hit a target and refund energy and preferably also slow. Aoe increase on dash but only applies slow on the edge of dash to the extra width given. Deals 70% of the taunt DMG if you hit someone on edge of dash. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/KL0NuLWE-possible-fix-for-shen-taunt-width

doesnt change the fact that even if he lands it on 5 champs, he's still gonna have an empty mana pool by the time its off cd, due to his q-w spam while fighting.
