Looking for Advice - New Ranked Player (Bronze IV) Main Shen 83.3% winrate 15/18 Games as Shen

Hello Fellow Summoners,

Top/Jung Player

As I begin my first season playing ranked (I joined League Summer 2015) I wanted to get some advice from more experienced players. So far I have won 7/10 of my placement series and since then gone from Bronze V to Bronze IV I'm currently in my second series to go to Bronze III. During this time the new Shen rework came out and I fell in love with the champion and decided to play him in ranked. To my surprise he is the best champion I have ever played. I have won 15/18 of the ranked games I have played as Shen and my wine rate is roughly 83.3%, currently have not been defeated as Shen for 9 games straight. I believe Shen's current win rate in ranked overall is somewhere in between 49-50% according to lolking (i'm not sure how accurate their statistics are). In my ranked games I am often present during 70-90% of the kills and win lane only losing my tower when I ult to save a team member while getting a kill or two in the process. My average from all 18 games is 7.83/2.5/18. Moving forward how should I diversify my builds, champion rotation, and play style. What I love most about Shen is his ability to assist the team from anywhere blocking the enemy from getting kills and turning 2v2's into 3v2's very quickly. What other champions can help the team in a similar way that Shen does. I don't want to carry my team I want to protect my teams carries and prevent the enemy team from building up theirs. I love the idea of an enemy thinking hes about to get a kill and then all of a sudden I drop in saving my team members life and getting him a kill in the process. What other champions can I play in either Jung or Top lane that allow me to support my team quickly and effectively. I don't like to play Support Bot because I find ADC players to be quite pretentious and toxic (no offense guys but if anything goes wrong the ADC usually blames the support). Thanks for any advice that you give and I appreciate all comments both positive and negative. Also any pointers on playing ranked are greatly appreciated.

PS: I know Ranked Play gets much harder as you rank up an that I am in the lowest tier aka the "Bronzie's".
