Shen: The Ninja who could!

Just a couple of ideas to add clarity to his game-play.

Shen is supposed to be a split pusher who can appear form anywhere into a fight, but a lot of the time is relegated to farming under his turret. If his Vorpal Blade bounced between minions this could help add some meaning to his pushing power.

Shen's ult is great when he is across the map, it becomes awkward when you are near your team during a team fight. You end up standing there waiting to ult in on someone or ignoring your ult altogether.

Added from Stealth Warden: I think for his ult it should be two click like tahm. Activate, shield friendly unit. reactivate within X seconds to start channeling for the teleport. Shield is instant, teleport is delayed.

Discuss below!

Edited post with better idea for Shen's ult.

i think the "option" to teleport would be good. As for the reduced cooldown, id be careful there. I think for his ult it should be two click like tahm. Activate, shield friendly unit. reactivate within X seconds to start channeling for the teleport. Shield is instant, teleport is delayed.

Bouncing blades would be nice i suppose, but thats just a katarina mechanic, lets do something unique.

Already strong now. He has received quite a few meaningul buffs. No need to push any further strengths onto him.

Like if the champ is within 1000 units of Shen, he immediately shields and dashes to them a la Nocturne?

Keep the CD the same though, otherwise it would relegate Shen players to be toxic about using R rather than using it the ways it's intended. 120 seconds is a godsend compared to the old 300 second CD he had.

One thing I think would be good is if his Q gave you more health. At max rank if you kill something with it it heals you by 25 or something. Make it heal you by maybe 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2% of your maximum health every second for 3 seconds if you attack a target with it on them. and if it kills them it heals you by 5/6.25/7.5/8.75/10% of your maximum health instantly. And maybe it could bounce if it kills the target?
