Possible solutions (not all at once obv): Autoattacks against structures reducing ki strike's cooldown by 1 additional second Ki strike proccing on structures if it still doesn't Vorpal blade gaining range with champion levels to hit safer squishies if only managing to taunt through the frontline Vorpal blade granting movespeed towards the target. Higher scaling attack speed Higher scaling AD %HP scaling shield(s?) Better AP scalings and an AP scaling on heal, for AP bruiser builds (not having access to RoA is a bit of a problem for AP bruiser Shen) Righteous glory granting a tiny amount of energy as well as mana to make it viable on Shen.

I believe a Rioter said something about the his shield scaling off HP would be too broken since he's an HP stacking tank like Volibear. As for the AD/AS scalings only one of them he actually needs to have which imo is the AS one. Giving him both will give him TOO much damage especially for a tank.

The vorpal blade gaining range per level I agree with but not the MS maybe allow him to deal bonus damage based on his HP to marked targets. That way if he does manage to get to the backline he gets to get a little burst in and if he doesn't he just has to work with it. Gotta give him some counter play.

The heal on his Q is fine it just when he kills a unit with his Q it needs to give back a % of his max hp instantly instead of some silly amount like it does now.

MS towards Vorpal targets could really help, and a ap-scaleing on the heal and his passive to make ap-bruiser shen a thin wouldn't hurt either. But what keeps you from building RoA if you really want to? you get the same 650hp and 80AP out of it as any other champ. Just cause you don't make use of the mana doesn't mean you can't built the item, your not getting any less combat stats out of it than a mana user, and not needing the mana is an advantage in first place.

Because it's one of the bigget mana items, and it's a huge waste. Making mana items give a proportionally smaller energy amount (like, if a mana item gives you +80% of you mana pool, it gives you +10% of your energy pool)
