What are you guys currently thinking about Shen? He is a very powerful tool in an organized team but in Solo Queue he seems to be lacking. Are there any plans to change his Kit to balance him in both a Team and Solo Queue environment?
I think making his E hitbox bigger to match his animation would be very nice to close the gap between Solo Queue and diamond/LCS players.
Possibly a buff to either the duration OR the scaling of Shen's passive shield would help him in the Solo Queue without changing too much of the higher ELO play.
Besides those I'd say an increase on the AP ratio of his Q maybe? considering how bad building AP on Shen is for the most part. You could maybe take a
but then you lose a ton of tankiness along the way so... idk.
Nerf his ult, rework his Q and W again, to something that makes more sense for a kinda all in champ like Shen.
I've played Shen for a while before switching to Nasus as my main, here are some suggestions i think can work.
First off i agree that the E hitbox needs to be a bit bigger, pre-rework id land taunts left and right now its annoying when you don't land taunt when it should have
Another option i've seen thrown around is to take power out of his ult(make it semi-global?) and putting it back into his basic abilities. An idea i just thought of regarding his ult is what if it consumed a % of Shens HP in compensation for the shield he is giving to an ally? Like maybe 10,15,20% of max or current health? just throwing out some numbers.
Some other changes could be increase the missile speed of his sword as it drags, less energy consumed on Q or E, maybe bring back % damage reduction to his E? Or to completely throw this out there what if Shens q had either a % heal on empowered autos or % magic pen for a small amount like maybe 5% on empowered Qs?
Either way, im hoping for some Shen changes.
undo the shen rework, while at it undo the malzahar rework as well.
frankly I'm not even sure if old shen would still be as big of a lane bully with the ranged Q spam since we got so many ranged top now.
I've never played new Shen but I've played vs him many times.
What I'd like to see is a buff to his passive shield, I barely notice its there when I'm against him lol
i think he needs a rework .. i mained shen pre rework and he lost a lot of his power and sustain ... he has nearly only one skill which does dmg and this only enhanced auto attack dmg ... using taunt in trades in lanes makes u very vulnerable in ganks ...
and building him tanky doenst matter .. a full build shen is killed in less than 3 secs bye a fiora :D and in teamfights his ult has no impact because in this season everything dies so fast ... and while i ult i cant do anything ... missing a taunt in a teamfight makes shen useless in teh teamfight ... every maokai nautilus poppy or other tanks has more to contribute in a teamfight ...
@meddler ... why cant his ult shield scale with extra HP ... but pls dont change him just rework him ... it cant be worse
in solo q he is trahs ,... it is betetr to paly a carry than trying to protect your adc which will die in 0.5 secs no matter what

I just made a post about this last night. I was thinking about making it so his W dodge zone can be moved to an ally and activated on them by pressing W on them. I legit think this would be an easy change that wouldn't be too bad for him considering his W feels useless most of the time since allies run straight out of it 9/10 times and it fits in thematically too since he's the guy supposed to save people. (PS Shen skin pls?)
