The Shen Changes on the PBE aren't just nerfs anymore...

You're gutting him. Straight up.

http://www.surrenderat20.net/2016/08/826-pbe-update.html

Shen Ki Barrier (Passive) Shield strength lowered to [50 + 3 per level] from [52 + 4] per level.

What next, Riot? You going to hit his movement speed? Lower his scaling armor to even less? Oh, here's an idea: remove him from the game. Yeah, maybe you'll be satisfied then.

Because goodness forbid Shen be used by competitive teams as he's supposed to be used just for him to get gutted so hard he can't lane anymore. Hell, he won't even be able to do his job as a tank at this rate. Why would you nerf his passive shield of all things? His scaling armor values are abysmal, and his whole thing is having bad stats but having a shield to absorb damage instead. But you're nerfing the shield, so what are we supposed to do with him? When will you be satisfied?

For goodness' sake what the hell are you even trying to achieve by nerfing two parts of his kit he relies heavily on?

one of the only true tanks in this game and he is getting punished for it. ekko who was never intended to be a tank gets slaps on the wrist for 2 years and is still a dominant pick.

hmm.

Tbh i think they should just remove him from the game at this point. He needs another rework now because obviously he's not allowed to be good

Tfw your rework takes away a lot of your tankiness for some offensive power and then Rito takes away the remainder of your defensive power because a pro player decided to troll pick you....

its obvious favoritism no one in their right mind likes gnar, he is absolute hell to lane against. he is teemo 2.0 but because he can press r and push people into walls its exciting and big play$

Meanwhile, they're reverting the Ekko and Karma nerfs. Apparently bruiser Ekko wasn't unkillable enough and Karma chunking you for a 1/3 of your health as a tank isn't enough damage.....

Riot...wtf are you doing? Do you not want to have the pros waste Shen as a ban option?

I wish we'd get a Rioter's opinion on this.
