About Shen....

I love Shen's concept, I play him quite often. Probably on my 20 most played I would say, or roughly around that area. I am no dedicated Shen main but I do see problems with his kit. Lets start with his Q.

Q- A low damage/low range skill shot harass with low energy/cool down. Heals per auto attack and scales off with AP. The Heal from the Q isn't great, I was shocked. I played a 40 minute game as shen got about 200 cs and I looked at the healing done. I healed a total of 900 HP. 900 HP in a 40 minute game. 900 HP. I benefitted no one with my Q, No one. Instead I was able to gain enough HP points that would heal a level 4 adc to full hp. The heal on the Q is weak, maybe not on Shen but on others. Oh and why does it scale off of AP? Now you guys may be thinking "well if he scaled with AD he would be op!" Fair point, why not scale it with a percentage of your hp? Maybe around 10% Bonus hp or 6% Max hp. On my typical shen build I get around 3800 health. So I get approx. 228 bonus attack damage on Q. So now it does damage!

Suggestion- Scale it off of AD/Max HP, Ap does not work. Maybe just maybe make it so you can heal off of percentage of dmg dealt per auto while blade is active.

W- Weak shield, weak shield with energy cost. I am comparing champions here. Shen doesn't build AP. AP Shen is terrible, I mean look at the shield it can block one auto attack how is this skill even viable? Why don't you just consider this a weaker yasuo shield, oh wait only its an active ability on a cool down. Riven has an AD scaling shield and she builds AD. Guess what that shield is over powered.

Suggestion- Scale it off of AD/Max Hp, Ap does not work.

E- I like the concept of the dash I would keep it as it is. Maybe reduce energy cost to make other spells more flexible but really I have no issue. R- I love the concept of his ult, if his shield were changed to max hp/ damage on this one it would be stupidly over powered, I would say keep it as it is. If I could change it I would probably lower cool down by 30 seconds or so.

Really the Q and W are just kind of pathetic, small advantages and not really game impacting. He doesn't bring enough to the table, he has a nice taunt and an ultimate that teleports you to the other side of the map. I feel like it would be more game impacting if he had a more beefy shield and more damage on his Q, and more support potential.
