So Riot has been preaching a lot about invisible power, visual clutter, high factor, and so on

And then they rework shen into a combination of all these factors.

Invisible sword with no counterplay, mostly a visual clutter when not in combat, and hardly any high factor when you hit the passive except, " oh I do more damage".

Like they could have pushed the concept a bit more with this small change

**"Whenever Shen uses his Q or E, he wields a mirror image of his spirit sword, increasing his autoattack range to 300 for his next attack" **
