He dared to be used in LCS games... He can globaly stop LC$ Bigplays... do the math, RIOT wants him dead!
because he dared be anything more than a mediocre pick for more than a week
If you are a tank and you dare to show your face in LCS your ass will be nerfed. If you are lee and you are gone for 2 games you will be buffed.
Fck LCS, it justruins this game.
He's fairly strong right now, I don't personally think he's strong enough to warrant a nerf but I can understand why they're doing it.
vayne runs around being the most picked adc mean while last's barely a week in the lcs
"He's weak, lets give him a slight buff".
2 days later
"Shen is usable now?", "I think we've seen enough of Shen in the spotlight, lets nerf him".

As a Shen main, I guess I'm just gonna quit this game now.
Same reason every champion gets nerfed. High winrate/banrate/pickrate everywhere.
no lcsbigplays
I hate riot For this.. Man... FUKING ILLUMINATIE RITO !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly as a Shen lover for years, his Q's heal is a pretty strong 1v1 sustain skill. It wasn't OP or anything, just something that was pretty annoying to fight against.
Its either he dominate his lane, or he get shred to death. He is a tank he need a spike somewhere... right? We dont want a useless tank at every stage of the game right?
Because shens a really good pick right now? He's not a RIven where you face smash and get a penta kill which is the only way people will find a champion broken these days.
Well they buffed the warmog a lil bit so maybe this is why they nerf his sustain... Im not sure.
It's odd, Shen was a big LCS champ for a long time. You'd figure Riot would give him a bump up in preparation for Worlds. Gonna have to watch and see what develops.
His heal botlane with his Q is pretty op. They are doing this to nerf support shen not top
Shen is being nerfed because Riot is looking to spice things up going into Worlds. I saw so many first picks on red side ending up as Shen and Alistar in just the European and North American LCS playoffs. This leads to a very slow, very painful to watch shoutcast where Riot really wants to have some more excitement and flexibility of champion choices. If by nerfing Shen and Maokai just a little bit, they can open up more offensive champion options in the top lane or support role. That means more strategies for team comps and more viable champions to select from in the pick/ban phase, not to mention that you will have more variety of bans. I am looking forward to what the changes in the next couple patches bring to Worlds.
