The Shen Rework Idea @Riot

Hello Riot,

I don't have a full fleshed out idea of a cool Shen rework and I'm sure you'd do a far better job balancing and creating interesting abilities but the idea of a kit is what this post entails.


Note: I do not claimin that my idea is foolproof, perfectly balanced, that I am an expert on creating/reworking champions or ideas about how you should create champions and their interactions with items. So please tone down on the, "You have no idea what you're talking about comments." So, the whole idea of my kit idea is to make Shen into a champion that can either tank or be an assassin, Kennen = Mage/Assassin, Akali = Assassin/Fighter sort of. The way to make this somewhat viable (I think) is to allow potential damage (new or old) abilities to scale with AD and turn all the tanking/CC abilities to scale with AP. • His passive extra damage would scale well with AP but deal physical damage. • So if Shen's Q would be reworked it would scale strongly with AD (physical) (like 0.6) with its damage + the healing factor would scale strongly with health and AP. • His W would scale very very little with AD, to avoid high shielding assassin Shen's, but the shield would scale with AP highly, and/or just scale with health. • His E damage (physical) would scale well with AD (0.55) + something like, taunt duration reduced by 0.1 seconds per bonus 80 AD. With a small AP scaling (0.1) + something like, taunt duration increased per 40 AP by 0.3 seconds. • His Ultimate would scale highly with AP, it sort of does on live. Have a small AD scaling like 0.1.

The kit I described above is not really a definite path to what Shen should be; all the numbers are just quick guesses at the power levels; even the what the kit does is definitely open to modification. It is, however, the overall idea of AD = Assassin, AP/Health = Tank. What problem or issue that I could see with this AP/AD idea is that he would turn into an overloaded/strong hybrid champion, but I think there are ways to tweak these things to that he can be a viable Assassin or still be a viable Tank. What do you guys think should could or should be with his rework?
