Shen could use a rework (minor) so he can feel satisfying to play again

There are too many toxic elements in his kit that have been nerfed. i feel like he is a rather unfun version of his former self. I feel like this mostly stems from how unrewarding his current kit feels right now. IMO i would be willing to remove some excess features on shen to be able to buff his more satisfying features.

some ways to do this are.

  • remove/retune his regen on q or how his shield works. lowering one for of sustain should be enough

  • remove the health scaling on his passive and make it so it is on a much lower cooldown than currently and return its effectiveness with w reducing his cooldown

  • make his ult semi global

With these changes i feel he could receive some nice buffs without sending his laning over the top. For example buffing his q base values seems like ur trading one toxic element for another so some buffs to damage on his ki strike which should be the primary focus of the kits offensive power as well as making it easier to manage his energy should be a fair tradeoff for all stages of the game.

JUST TO BE CLEAR IM NOT SAYING ALL OF THESE CHANGES AT ONCE. IT COULD BE ANY COMBINATION THESE ARE MERELY SOME GOOD CONVERSATION STARTERS

I feel like his ult needs to be replaced entirely to make room for a teleport summoners spell. At least something to give Shen better kill potential during the laning phase.

Or better yet, something that can be used in a teamfight directly. I think shen's identity as a teamwork and strategy oriented champion would need to be preserved somehow, and any kind of selfish ultimate would go against that I think.

I sort of want his ult to remain to keep his ability as a split pusher. His play style is pretty different from the other ones.

I think that hes not in a good spot because he felt like hes needed nerfs in the past. this is a good way to work around those nerfs and put him back inline with other champions power
