Simple Shen Rework that Put Him on Top ;)

Shen is quite the awesome tank :) But his abilities lack depth and interest :( That being said I have an amazing rework idea for him that doesn't put him on top. Afterall I have no problem with a ninja tank, some ninjas are quite beefy and being a tank is more of a trait than a role. Without further ado... Hear are my idea:

#Road To The Shen Rework:

  1. Increase the range on Vorpal Blade and Basic Attacks by a slight 25. (It's sad that shen has to be so close to through his sword, I mean Comeon' Yasuo's Steel tempest is the same range as vorpal blade. Also you would think a guy with dual Ninjato' would have a little bit more range to his attacks than Udyr but hey what do I know, the physics might look off... Still think this good way to go making it easier for last hitting. Plus that should be shen's strong point against Zed.

  2. Increase the duration of the taunt by 0.25 seconds. I am not sure if tenacity reduces his taunt but champs come off taunt to easy and getaway or spam abilities so say shen is the frontline man and catches a target with shadow dash so his enemies can catch up, it's not long enough and your lucky if you have some like lux or blitz to give some range CC from behind, but a player can still flash out. Since this is his only for of CC and has long cooldown and a high energy I require a longer taunt, regardless of the versatility, with the several play possibilities of shadow dash you often only use it once in combat. You would need 40% CDR, Energy runes, Attack Speed for passive and be skilled at the famous 5-man taunt to deal mayhem with this ability.

I'm pretty sure this is coming from somebody that did not play when shen was banned 90% of games. Trust me you do not want him strong again. That is like asking for the old kassadin :)

Your quite right I never had the pleasure of playing him when he was good and, ya Kassidin was insanely OP. Also the title^ I saved it wrong! It was suppose to say "Without being on Top" auto correct on my ipad changed that without me noticing :(

But with the energy changes they made in patch 4.21, (Love you Riot I was waiting forever for that buff!)' he's merely a few steps away from attaining true balance!

I got some not so big impact changes for Riot right here:

  1. Increase the range on Vorpal Blade and Auto- Attacks by 25 units.
  2. Increase base movement speed to 340 from 335.
  3. Increase taunt duration to 1.75 seconds from 1.5 seconds.

For some more drastic changes:

  1. Increase Vorpal Blade's base magic damage and Ability Power Scaling to 65/110/155/200/245 +65% AP.

  2. Increase Heal on Vorpal Blade to 4/11/18/25/32 +2% Maximum Health.

  3. Have Feint Scale with 1.5% Bonus Hp as well as the current 60% AP.

They cant add Feint HP ratio. He already has 2 skills scales with HP. Reverting it to old ( which that blocks all damages and skill for 1 second ) or giving it Bonus Armor and MR scale.

Wasn't this in another thread that I commented on?

Okay, you are the same OP....

My comment in the other thread:

What Shen needs is for feint to have reduced (and IMO zero, scaling down with rank) energy cost IF it doesn't get a defensive-stat scaling.

It's very good during laning phase but when teamfights occur, your shield is not worth it to use - 40 energy traded in for negligible amount of effective health. You could have used another taunt or another vorpal blade for better contribution to teamfight.
