Shen Qol Buffs

WaveClear

Ki Srike deals damage to all enemy units in front of Shen. Shen has poor wave clear and weak team fight presence in comparison to other tank.

Reach

Q range increased to 525 from 475 units. A lot of champs are allowed more poke Range than Shen. Even other tanks like Malph and Mundo; and of all the energy champions Shen has the shortest range ability. It's range is 475 units, currently tied with Q, what's the point in even having range poke when it's the same thing as another champion's jab.

Speed

I know shen is a tank! and tanks are generally suppose to be slow >.> . But can't riot give shen a bit more move speed like 340 it would help with his juggling a lot. is a tank with 340 move speed and he has a 700 unit range Q and a gap closer, can't Rito give shen the same move speed? (He will still be slower than a lot of fast champs and logically speaking J4's armor looks heavier than shen's armor.

No to the passive change. With the new Bami's Cinder, Shen really doesn't need waveclear. Sunfire will always be a core part of his build, so this change isn't needed. The Q range I can get behind. Shen is by nature a close range fighter/tank, but a little more Q range wouldn't hurt the game too much.

Honestly what I would like is just MR per level on Shen. With the rise of more and more AP toplaners, Shen could use the extra defence. As his Q is such short range, he needs to get close to last hit minions. Giving him more waveclear would be bad for his healthiness though as he is the OG splitpusher.

Aside: I know it's been debated before, but I think it's about time that all melee's had MR per level. Hit them somewhere else to compensate if necessary, but its just so inconsistent.

Dude!!! Eww your name D:

But ya I believe a bit more Q range would help him overall in being a safer laner and securing last hits better. I pt would also make him more intimidating to range targets who have 500+ units AA range

We thought we were getting a nice buff to his kit, what do we get slight cooldown reduction on his ultimate

Once again people show they don't know what "QoL buff" means.

Explain it to me then because clearly I am missing something

"QoL buff" grants clarity on usage of stuff, or making things less tedious to use to make their power more accessible, for example Diana gaining a passive timer was QoL, Basic attack frames are another common example, letting Riven 's Q go thru walls consistently, Nidalee bounce function change, changing cone targeting to be attached to the champion, or RekSai s tunnels gaining ward thing to show which it would remove these sorts of things are what is meant by "QoL".

Well placing an ability %cooldown reducer on shen's shadow dash whenever he taunts someone mark with Vorpal Blade will make multiple taunts in succession available once he is able to pull the combo.
