Why the **** is riot nerfing him while braum and bard are being picked in every game while having something like 65% win rate?

Shen is basically in every game; he's warping the competitive scene. Braum and Bard are more niche picks that certain supports play but they're not really in every game.

braum niche pick? [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Just looked up the stats. Its weird that he's the second most played support all around the world and yet I can't remember ever seeing him in a game. Maybe it has to do with all the bans he attracts so I just forget him? Anyway, my point (Braum and Bard aren't warping their particular metas as heavily as Shen) still stands

bard may be a niche pick, but braum isn't. He is as overloaded as thresh (maybe even more) can 1v1 a carry until at least lvl 5, and most of all as a tanky support he has poke which means he can be a poke support+a tank support in one.

Because those are only the NA stats. Riot balances for more than just one region. In EULCS for example Shen is 100% pick/ban during playoffs with 60% winrate, while Braum is 41% pick/ban with 50% winrate and Bard is 33% pick/ban with a wooping 100% winrate (because he's played only one game).

The best support for lcs in my opinion was Taric with 70% winrate and 50%pick/ban.

Edit: Also Shen has 57% winrate in the NA playoffs. Where did you get your number from? (the split numbers are not relevant because those were in a completely different meta: the laneswap meta)
