Shens Shield needs to be stronger(HP Scaling) with longer cooldown for better windows of power

His shield needs to scale with Hp and Ap like Skarner, or just hp(or maybe a % of ar/mr??). It's currently too weak, and should absorb more for it's cost, with a longer cooldown for better "windows of power" or whatever phrase Rito says is healthy.

His passive's cooldown is reduced by 1 second per basic attack and 2 while the shield is up but quite honestly it's usually popped instantly because it's so weak, therefore this part of his kit is rarely utilized in pvp combat.

I feel that a lot of this ability's potential is held back due to it's counter-productive short cooldown, because after Shen's initial engage he's stuck waiting to use one spell at a time, which as a support tank is really lacking in the current high-standard meta.

A simple tweak of adding an hp scaling to it's per-existing base+ap scaling, at the cost of a longer cooldown would be a huge overall improvement to Shen.

P.s. I also feel his Q self-healing should be increased to 150 if not 200% against enemy champions.

He's getting an update soon, and the shield is slated to be completely reworked.

Not trying to undermine your suggestion but this probably won't happen as he is in the middle of getting all his abilities reworked which should be released relatively soon I estimate 4 weeks. Based on what is been sent so far is his shield will more than likely become a type of Evaiasn similar to jax's Dodge. Not much what is been said about his new Q tho ,to my knowledge
