Vorpal Blade :: League of Legends (LoL) Ability on MOBAFire

Lets be real here,who really disliked Shen Vorpal blade? It was such a nice ability and it was quite frankly only ability Shen can use offensivelyitem 3153 .So hear me out what about removing his Ki Barrier And instead putting Vorpal Blade as a 4th Interactive Ability.We need champs that are fun to play and have nice kits(Yasuo Zed Fiora Jax )And we need that buff for Shen cuz right now in every META he is really falling off*[cass-cry]* .Now I know this new Shen is more defensive but his passive is really useful when someone pokes the living shit out of you in early game and you need to save yourself then Ki Barrier is quite good,but thats about as good as it is.While Vorpal Blade was quite a good scale ability his kit back then was quite shit.This one is a little better but too defensive and clunky and situational.There is almost no encounters where you could go 1v1 and defeat the other champ.If you try to build AD on him the fun champs(Up in brackets) will wreck your day because you have as much hp as a red buff.Building HP on him seems like only viable option but you are so shit if someone picks you off you are most certainly always dead. Rito please help we need good shit in his ki...I mean Vorpal Blade please come back home we miss you all*[zombie-nunu-tears]*

I did. It was damn trash. Completely out of place on his kit. Extremely derpy and clunky.

Vorpal blade allowed Shen to completely sandbag the lane, ignoring his opponent and farming safely under tower without many ways to punish him. That’s why they changed it. They wanted to make it so Shen not only has the tools to fight his opponent, but actually has to fight his opponent if he wants to get anywhere in lane.

I wasted 1.800.000 mastery points on Shen (over 2 millions with smurfs) and damn... with all my experience I think that I can say loud and clear that the new Shen is GARBAGE. Here you can find my wall of text where I explain why he sucks so hard!

The reworked Shen for me is a failure. He's predictable, 2 of his spells have 18 seconds of cool down (CAN YOU FUCKING BELIVE IT!?), W is totally useless when your opponent is a spell-reliant champion, itemization is ridiculous and Shen in general is inflexible.

All I had in my long experience with Shen are nonsensical nerfs. Why? Well, the usual pro-play scene ruining the game for everyone else. He's not even a strong pick with a good win rate but yeah, we get nerfs. Like if in soloQ he wasn't DISGUSTING already.

I HATED IT. SCREW THAT ABILITY. DON'T BRING THAT SHIZZ BACK!

The guy would just spam the ever-loving hell out of it mindlessly. Why would you even want this back? Minions would mess you up big-time due to the targeted abilities draw minion aggro thing.

It'd suck for Shen more than it sucked for everyone else back then.

revert this garbage new completely melee shen. he sucks, clunky sword mechanic nobody asked for. can't sustain in lane anymore. can't first pick him because he can't farm from distance anymore. you either all in or you lose. also you must build him as a fighter to make the best out of him lmao

fail rework, like 80% of all reworks

Also let me say something for the "Disguisting OP Q" Otherwise known as Vorpal Blade:"Deals 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to target unit."Alright that is AP."That unit becomes life tapped for 5 seconds, healing any champions who attack it for 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 / 15 (+ 1.5% of Shen's maximum health) health over 3 seconds."That ladies and gents was the core of Shen Support right there."If Vorpal Blade deals the killing blow, it will trigger 33% of the heal effect for Shen."Q would be his only save and grace after killing someone.You dont have a potential of 2v1 anymore(For major instances not even 1v1).I really dont see it being that destructive if it really is that OP OP then just lower it to be 60/100/130/170/210(+40% of ability power)That is still AP.So lemme ask you when did you ever build AP on Shen?I quite frankly saw that almost never(Excluding the trolls).

The only thing Shen will be getting are nerfs.

Wasn't that his Q? Wasn't that pretty much exclusively used for last hitting? I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people consider the Shen rework a total success.. He has a clear play pattern with skill expression and an intact identity..

No. It felt like ass to use since it needed 15000 nerfs, and felt like ass to play against (hence its 15000 nerfs) since it applied ranged poke and in combat healing on a point and click spell.

Literally the only time I ever miss it is when I miss a cs that was out of melee range

"Old shen would've gotten that cs"
