An idea to improve Shen's kit and make him feel more ninja

Why don't you change the floating sword to a shadow holding the sword? I mean, when you activate your W Shen's shadow takes the sword and thrusts it into the ground. Also give Shen's shadow the capability to attack a nearby unit each 10 seconds (or more). The shadow couldn't be able to autoattack when the W is active. If you want, reduce the damage from the shadow to keep it healthy so it only be a little help when dueling.

Doesn't make sense lore wise because the shadow techniques were something that only Zed explored into in order to gain an edge on Shen when they sparred when Zed was still a disciple under Shen's father. Looking into shadow techniques got Zed banished in the first place.

Second of all, he isn't supposed to feel like a traditional ninja; he's supposed to be a "ninja" that is willing to take punches to the face and guard his allies, and Riot decided not to change that in his latest rework a few months back.
