Suggestion for Shen Viability Buff

I am one of the only players who mains Shen. The reason no one even touches Shen is because his energy consumption is ridiculously unfair. Every other champion who uses energy has an ability to restore energy as well as reduced energy cost per level for many of their abilities. Lee Sin restores 15 energy PER auto attack after using abilities, akali gains energy after procing her Q, and her abilities consume less energy as they level up, ditto Zed and Kennen. On the other hand, Shen's energy costs are just as high as everyone else (with the exception of his E being the highest cost energy ability in the game by far) but his abilities do not go down in energy as he levels them up. Also, Shen's passive is insanely weak for restoring energy. While Akali recovers 30 energy at level 5 with her q, Shen recovers 10 energy with his passive at level 5. 10 energy... every 8 seconds... it's a joke.

Please either reduce the energy required for his abilities as you do with other champs, or make his passive recover more energy when used. Preferably Both. If you do so, Shen will at least be viable again.

Shen however, can gain back energy from his passive WITHOUT having to use an ability, all other energy champs need to first use an ability (thus using energy) to gain back energy.

They are reducing the cost of Shadow Dash if Im not mistaken to 100 instead of 120. So theres something.
