Unpopular Opinion - I like the Shen rework.

As the title says, I like his rework. I enjoyed playing shen occasionally before his rework as he was a nice tank top lane with a lot of team supporting skills but I honestly like him even more now.

They removed his very boring poke and shield spells (while still keeping the shield in his kit!) and gave him more team utility and dueling potential. I love picking him when I nees to play a safe top lane pick. He is ultimately hard to kill, brings stronf CC, a life saving shield, okay damage, and the ability to split push while still being able to show for fights.

He isn't my favorite champion. But I don't understand the hate for him I keep seeing. He is more fun than he was before and more interesting. I almost suspect it is from people who just wish he was stronger, though I'm sure there are people who truly don't like his rework.

So. Hope to see everyone's thoughts. I'm ready for any possible downvotes.

A lot of people like the Shen rework. It wasn't perfect but it was far from terrible.

Tons of people like the Shen rework, more than those who don't anyway, its just that people don't go around posting "Gj on the Shen rework Rito", the ones that don't post why they don't like it so it seems like more don't like it.

As a Shen main, I prefer old Shen. His poke would shut down any melee champs and could farm under tower without getting poked. Yes his old W was mostly useless, except for the cooldown on his passive would be lowered each time you hit a minion with it up. It just took some getting used to but I still am a Shen main.

P.S. Saw this on another post, his hit box for his taunt is off by a little. It does need to be fixed.

I would have liked something like this. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/KL0NuLWE-possible-fix-for-shen-taunt-width

hell even if it slows for .1 second along the edges like trundle q. it would be nice imo.

i really like most of his rework, but draging that sword around i hate that.It just doenst fit quite right and im always screwing up the dodge cause of the swords travel time.
