Shen does not feel like Shen anymore

I decided to try Shen again since his rework, as it is still the "feel" of Shen. Now I can't help but feel that the ki sword is just out of place. Yes this ability is cool, but it's not what Shen was supposed to do. His auto-attacks are also downgraded. He went from 2 swords with a satisfying sound to 1 sword and another that he can't even use. The sword literaly is just floating for the entire game, not to mention that it moves to Shen super slowly. I really think Shen needs a rework, but he just got one. Now does Shen need to be reworked or reverted? This is the 3rd champion that Riot has reworked that I really can't play. First it was Sona, which killed her mobility, then it was GP: the fun pirate who could be a support, and now its Shen, the ninja dude who has the weird sword.

Shen does not need a rework again... But I main shen top and yeah he feels extremely weak. His Q damage falls off really fast. And he gets kited so freaking easy.

I think the most obnoxious thing about reworked Shen is the fact they doubled his energy pool and raised costs to compensate.

I mean, it takes 40 seconds to replenish energy from 0.

Who thought that was a good idea?

The rework hit the nail on the head thematically. His problem isn't that he needs another rework he needs to be outright buffed.
