Patch 5.17 Notes

OK soShen is my main and i know that people like to defend their favorite champion so ill commit the sin but hear me out. WHY IN THE HELL did they Nerf shens Q? I don't understand the point of it really, Riot calls him an unmovable brick but whats the basis on it. he can get beaten easily by Yorick , Riven , Jax , Sion,Vladimir,Gnar , and i could go on but that is sufficient enough. he needs that lifesteal, especially in early game because unless the person your laning against is unskilled your going to lose i just played a game against a Sion and no matter how much damage i was doing and we were both building tank he always out-sustained me. it bothers me that Shen laning is meh compared to other top champions and i have started using him as a support cause my tanky ninja friend just kinda faded out of top lane and no one seems to realize it. Any way i thought i would share my thoughts Shen was my first champion when i started playing a fried told me to try him because he thought he fit my play style and he was right. and even tho its a small adjustment it still has a pretty good impact on his early game in my opinion.

You'e not supposed to beat anybody in lane for the kind of utility you bring to the table.

Honestly I didn't get it either, I like shen and I have never thought he was over powered or deserved a nerf in any areas (unlike some ninjas). He had very little trade potential in lane before and more or less relied on his Q as a form of sustain just to stick in the lane. But it isn't like the heal was over powered or anything, it was rather mediocre in fact, really all you need to do is wait for him to throw a dagger at a minion and then engage on him. Boom Shen dead or harassed out of gold range.

Now it just seems like you won't even has to wait for step one, see a shen? Sure the jungler isn't around? Jump on in.
