@RIOT Shen's new rework seems to lack damage and is very restrictive.

CatSith··1 votes·871 views

What I think about the rework:

  • The spirit blade is too restrictive ( his Q and W is too situational.)
  • He lacks damage, only real source is his Q auto attacks.
  • His passive is similar to vi's ( possible weaker.)

My suggestions:

  • For Spirit refuge (W), Shen throws the spirit Blade in a direction damaging units it passes through and to creates a defensive zone (Which also gives him the ability to position the spirit blade for his Q.)
  • The spirit blade damages units when it goes back to shen, when he uses the Q. ( add it to his passive or make it his Q's passive.)

  1. He's a tank/bruiser
  2. He's not a ninja, he's a shadow warrior, the Eye of Twilight.

Hes a Tank/Fighter, with the changes he isn't doing much fighting.

His E has max Health scaling which is actually a bit higher than his old passive. His Q does more damage than his old Q. He's lookin mighty fine. Although yes, his passive is similar to Vi's, but it scales off max health and can be spammed late game.

his dash (E) does a base damage + 12% of his bonus HP as damage.

His Ki shield (passive) has a base shield and scales off bonus hp. Vi's is 10% of her Max hp.

What, do you WANT Shen to go to his current form again?

Where he builds full armor and health and three-shots ADCs?

CatSith1 votes

He doesn't do that in his current form lol.

Anywhere below plat, he does.

Maybe not in this meta, but pre-preseason that's exactly what I noticed about him.
