The one buff Shen really needs

Shen's ability to save his allies is the primary reason to pick him instead of the myriad other picks for his two primary roles. However, something I've found to be very frustrating about his ult is that my ally doesn't even know I'm ulting him until after he's run out of my taunt range. Adding an "on the way" ping on ult cast would be very welcome to show allies that Shenpai noticed them. For bonus points, the same VO line Shen says when channeling could be played over the targeted ally's speakers. Rito pls. Thanks for noticing.

I think they should have this "Eye of twilight" open above the targets head for clarity and theme points.

But seriously if you can't see the mega shield on you, its time to visit the eye doctor.

The one buff Shen needs...

Bringing back the minus 1 health for each ninja on your team.

And before you ask, yes. This would be a buff.

MFW Rek'Sai and Tahm both have OMW Pings when their ults are much more obnoxious in terms of visually and audibly AND are not nearly as "important" as Shenpai's.

I think this is reasonable. It helps people out who might need it without actually giving him any unnecessary power.

A MILLION TIMES YES, for whatever reason shen ult's animation is very hard to notice, and i've had him finish his entire ult multiple times without anyone even realizing he ulted until he comes in taunting. Either the ping needs to get added or the animation needs to be made more noticeable.

I support this idea entirely. Loads of good ideas too, though personally I'd like a visual indicator other than the shield cause there are some people that play without sound or the inability to hear it.

+1 for Shenpai

they have a ! ping for tahm ult, don't see why they couldn't make something for shen

How about a loud "Guinsoooooo" from Shen, with purple action lines on the screen? That way, my carry won't flash away from the fight I teleported across the map to win for them.

Or it could scale something he actually buys. AP Shen op.

Well , when I am sure to use my ult on someone I ping them first , then ult . A feature like that would be amazingly useful .

Could make their screen tint purple/blue like Zilean's yellow tint on ult.

You can just ping on your way yourself while its chanelling? No need for the game to do it for you imo

I'd love to see a more dynamic Q on him too. The current one's pretty played out and stale.

I'll admit I've had multiple times recently, playing with friends over skype, when we call for an ult to the Shen player and I don't actually notice it on my screen. A Shen just pops up among the fight.

the should make his ult SFX louder as well for allies so they Know he is ulting in on them, ever since the rework i believe the ult SFX have been much quieter.

that would be nice....with old shen this was a problem too..so frustrating that they don't turn

I think rather than the notice of shield and incoming of shen(if you want them to know, let them know yourself), the targeted needs to know the timing WHEN shen is there. Othervise the shield is lost before shen is there. Some timer above targets head would be nice.

There needs to be a better animation for the target of Stand United. In a teamfight you might not even notice that shen is coming if the shield gets broken. For such a high impact ability, it needs more summoner 13
