When can we expect buffs for these champions, the balance team mentioned buffing him during preseason but i haven't seen any indication of that so i just was hoping if there was any patch or time you predict these will be rolling out.
On the same note can we expect any buffs to champions like Azir and Kalista who are practically unplayable in their lanes due to so many nerfs to them.
RiotMeddler33 votesOur current plan is to look at Shen buffs in 6.23 or 6.24 (which depends on how much pre-season response work's needed). We'll also be looking at other champions like Azir and Kalista around the same time for possible small changes. They both need bigger work, but we'd like to see what we can do in the meantime until then, given that larger scoped work wouldn't be for a fair while.
Big Lincoln11 voteswill you be looking at garen too? he's been a pretty sub-par pick for a while now
RiotMeddler20 votesYes, around the same time.
Big Lincoln52 votescan you make his "justice" lines global so everybody knows he slain a villain
Ralanr13 votesCan we also have global Karthus ult quotes? The world needs to hear the lightbringer.
I am Razgriz1 votesAren't they?
Ralanr2 votesI don't remember so.
The Planeswalker11 votesThey should make the ult's volume distance-based, so if you're all the way at bot lane you'll hear a faint "juustii...!" and if you're getting hit it's super loud and overbearing, like Garen.
TyrekGoldenspear3 votesAlso make the shockwave that normally only Garen sees upon a Villain smite visible by all, so they all know what justice looks like.
La Bello2 votescould you maybe look into making his Judgment somehow scale with attack speed? I think that would be a nice little niche change
FantasySniper1 votesActually, doesn't his ult have a passive true-damage on hit? I can see PD being a relatively strong item on him.
Stephenizgod8 votesI think Kalista should remain in her current state until you guys can fully rework her, she is a very interesting champion design but I don't think she works in league. Azir is somewhat similar but I believe you guys can fix him.
RiotMeddler25 votesI suspect we'll have to keep Kalista weak until we can make some significant changes to her. She's got too many strengths which means she crowds out other marksmen pretty hard if at a useful power level. What we're going to look at though is whether she needs to be as extremely weak as she is at present, or whether we've got some room to buff her.
Angry Monster11 voteswouldn't that make her a failed concept? Especially if you are planning to have to Olaf her. (season 3 meaning of the term, aka keeping weak ).
Is riot having conversation yet about how some designers keep throwing loads of extras in kits? Kalista is a fairly new champ and should not need a rework at any level. A lot of NEW champs have tons of strengths and then fail on weakness.
RiotMeddler30 votesBoth Kalista and Azir are representative of a period where in hindsight I think we tunnel visioned too much on uniqueness at the expense of some aspects of game health (overloaded kits) and skill floors. That's resulted in some champs who have really cool stuff on their kits, but have been challenges to balance for regular play versus top tier play. My take is that there are solid concepts there, but that the execution on them needs some work (reducing unnecessary strengths primarily, and putting that power into other parts of the kit, giving clearer weaknesses to play around).
Solideus3 votesAre any champions other than Kalista and Azir similarly overloaded?
Jeddy01719 votesRek'sai comes to mind for me. She came out the same year as those 2 & has had a similar history as those 2 as well.
Divewing19 votesI think rek sais issue is that Tremor Sense is disgustingly strong with no real way to play around it in pro play, problem is barring the tunnels, it's kind of her gimmick The other nerfs were roundabout ways to try balance her without having to nerf TS
warpenguin5559 votes2014 was pretty much the year of overloaded champions. Vel'Koz and Braum were fine, but the rest of the releases that year were 
in that order. And I believe Yasuo was released in the preseason leading up to that year. Its like Riot felt like they had to compensate for less champion releases by overloading most of their new champions or something
Raxistaicho2 votesNah, Braum's pretty ridic too, it's that it doesn't show as well thanks to him being a tank support.

Aptest3 votes 
some of them have been already nerfed.
Divewing4 votesHas any further decision/state of mind concerning Azir been reached? Last we heard from you (Riot in general), you were of the opinion his Shuffle and DPS playstyles cannot co-exist. Is that still the opinion?
Myself personally I think his Q is the main problem since it's giving him burst, poke, and when it's strong, early game power that he otherwise has no business having, which can be solved with numbers, and would subsequently retain both his playstyles (which reading between the lines feels like something you would, in an ideal world, like to keep).
-Concerned Azir main
Aptest1 voteshonestly i think you did a good job that resulted in a bunch of really cool and unique characters.
you went overboard with the 1-upping of the counterplay options to most of them. which is now something you need to mop up. But i'd rather you continue the path of really special champions and mop up later, than castrate yourself and make another volibear.
Woook3r1 voteswhat if you werent letting the other champions in the league hold you back?
Stephenizgod2 votesThat makes sense, hopefully you guys can figure out how to make her at least somewhat viable as she is. She is a super unique champion with a lot of fun mechanics, bot lane definitely could use some different mechanics.
Doseqis7 votesHonestly if you are going to buff Shen could you possibly just start out small by trying to give him some base stats his base hp late game is pretty laughable and feels pretty bad for the Shen player when someone building a bruiser item is tanker than you with a tank item.
Another way to go about buffing him could possibly be in his passive, it goes from being a super good passive to being pretty sub par when you are slowed and can't pull the sword through someone, or the delay on when it actually activates which is after an ability.
RiotMeddler10 votesLooking at base stats is probably where we'll start.
Sèx Craved Eve5 votesLooking at base stats is probably where we'll start.
Would you think about disabling Kalista's passive when she's slowed so she can still attack as fast as she's meant to? Would be nice.
maliknomercy3 votesI just want to thank you for hearing the community out and say that it is great that riot has started to change champions and not for get him like someone called old yorick and riot communication with the community has improved a ton
Woook3r1 voteshis taunt is a short duration cc. he should be able to do it more often, like 3 times in a fight. super mobile shen. make it happen.
Malicious Metal5 votesWill you look at some of the Jungling tanks? The removal of SotA indirectly hurt their cinderhulk powerspike. Anyways, going to look forward to 6.23, I'm actually more excited for it than the Assassin update.

CyberSmoke300011 votesHave you considered buying Nashor's Tooth?
Evenstar2 votesWhat about Karma update for S7? So much potential but you guys are just putting her aside again.
TyrekGoldenspear2 votesKarma is in a better spot than the other champs mentioned tbh

As Azir main, having almost 200k mastery points on him, I think he underperforms especially early game(Ik he is late game champ, but needs some early game buffs to be able to transfer to that mid/late game). I even gave up on him for a month or two (because started playing A.Sol), but recently I play him a lot of again. I just love his lore, gameplay, visual design, etc. Although he is so weak, I keep playing him and still sometimes manage to score a good kda. Right now, he is way too team dependent, you can easily lose your lane as Azir and if you do so, you can serve as utility mage with little damage unless you have 4-5 items at least. His early mana costs are a bit high and you can easily go OOM if you try to poke your opponent, because his damage is not high either. The only way to success as Azir in an equal match-up is to farm as much as you can and also your laning depends on the jungle pressure. Maybe changing the passive will be good for Azir? Or at least let it provide some passive buff(s), or make the tower to appear faster.

Will you boost wukong, seems wukong is week on top lane, also not good for jg
ARTOS5161 votesIf you're going to work on Azir, 100% of the Azir players (I used to play with him before he got nerfed to ashes) will tell you to don't remove Shurima Shuffle and don't change W's passives. All you need to do is remove April's+ nerfs, being the Ult's nerf and the W's nerf..... Or instead, you remove the Ult's nerf, increase the ammount of max mana he gains per level, increase his W's damage for LVL10- and give him more tankie stats, because Azir has lots of utility that with these suggestions would make him better for team fights, and maybe support Azir would actually work.
kyle53421 votesWhat do you think for Kalista, reduce the animation of her passive and even make animation of AA after passive's animation so she throw her spear at position at the end of passive's animation. That would make her passive scale more efficiently with AS. ADC are usually build dependant, Kalista need AS and her build is quite expensive and deal few damage, so maybe up her AS ((and with grain of salt up % on her AA)). And of course, nerf damage on E in late game. But passive's animation is the most important I think because that make Kalista seems really slow and boring to play!
Edit: Oh, I think her passive his bugged, it says that it scale with boot tier but I tried without, with and tier 2 boot and distance lunge didn't change at all. Passive's animation have a little casting time but maybe it's her AA's animation which is very slow for an ADC!

LordGeovanni1 votesno one said buffs he said the update was to change unhealthy and uninteractive things
Draqone1 votesEh, the only unhealthy thing about Nida was her clearspeed. She has a good siege/poke identity and her spear is OK-ish to dodge giving the enemy counterplay and making her "interactive" in that sense.
Baron Perenolde1 votesThe best buff Riot could give would be to revert Shen's rework, if you ask me. [zombie-brand-clap]
