Shen gets nerfed based on high elo

CerealBoxOfDoom··2 votes·833 views

because shen does stupid things in organized gameplay.

Shen is a different champ in high elo and people who play him need to accept this or ask for a full rework. Why nerf shen?

At masters level he runs at a 15% pickrate with a 60% winrate. Of course its a small and very volatile sample but shen is not the champ you want to be doing TOO well right before the big tournaments and thus testing must be done. Testing as in it hasn't hit live for a reason.

False. He does not run a 15% win rate Nor does he boast a 60% win rate.

If you're going to post statistics atleast let them be accurate.

The websites arent better. They give the same exact stats.... I was correcting his statistics which were wrong.

Taric has a higher playrate and winrate in the same section. Does he needs nerfs too :x?

taric doesn't shen the game up though. When taric is strong botlane struggles, when shen is stong people stop playing the game even though the match timer is still running

Well obviously as you can see a majority of people on the boards think you're absolutely wrong and shen does not need nerfs. That would include me

The majority of people on this board have been wrong on many occasions and are easily misled by silver linings and rallying cries.

Meanwhile

Shen has been a hotly debated case of hidden power since release Taric has no such problematic history, if he was strong sometimes you didn't even notice it.

You can bullshit me with downvotes or even pull the rank card but history is history and design is not play.

When taric is strong the meta moves with him When shen is strong the meta bends, twists, cracks, and breaks and he becomes a ridiculous existence with his built in tele- shiled

I agree with this statement. Shen has the potential to affect the meta more powerfully than other champions due to his kit.

You can base your argument on what you want. No matter what lane im in i dont give a shit if im fighting shen. I get 10x more frustrated fighting Gangplank or gnar

CerealBoxOfDoom1 votes

no, I can't just base it on whatever I want which is partly the point of my argument

it went up 5% (pickrate)

Then you look at the other top 10 champs and realize they all have higher play rates and win rates ;x

miss fortune with 50% pickrate and 70% winrate is not as big an issue as shen with 25% pickrate and 55% winrate

might mean miss fortune is too strong but one of these two issues suffocates the game and may lead to 2 hour games again
