Shen needs some help.
If Shen doesn't get MR per level because of his "free" shield, why does Riven get it with an even "free-er" shield?

IF they are willing to change Shen, they need to make him scale with health for his damage instead of AP. There is no such thing as AP Shen.
They could fix the max-range e glitch where visuals happen but enemies are not taunted while they are at it...
"I have 4 ap ratios yet in a standard build I use none of them." - 
Good point... Plus, its not like we HAVE to max shield first, which just hurts.
I really don't see why Shen cannot have MR Per level at this day and age.
Shen's shield is awful. I'm hoping he gets some love soon. He needs attention!
Shen needs a lot of help. Just because he has a global ult doesn't mean he can splitpush, by the time he ults in, the battle is already won or lost. And his pushing potential is VERY slow. In team fights, late game, he's like singed, he's kind of a non-existant unkillable tank. You ignore their dmg, and focus on their carries. 1 taunt for 1 second over 8-12seconds isn't really anything to fret about.
Just gonna put this out there. I'm actually surprised Shen isn't buffed more, and given the Olaf treatment in a sense with stupid logic concerning why he has to be pushed face down in the mud.
I mean, you'd think his ult despite Riot thinking it's SOOOOOO OP (when it's not) could still result in some nice #LCSBIGPLAYS in the end if they made Shen viable in anyway.
Riven's doesn't have a cost, true, but Riven also doesn't have built-in sustain.
And what's even the POINT of the heal on his Q it's hardly even there
I love shen, a think a couple of small buffs could go a long way. I agree with the comparison with Riven's shield. I play both champions fairly regularly, but I'd like to see Shen's shield scale off of bonus hp or total hp. I'd also like to see Shen gain MR per level, those two small buffs i feel would put him in a really good spot in terms of balance and viability.
I always rush Spirit Visage so MR isn't a problem, it allows you take full power of your Q really early in the game and makes your sustain super strong. Shen's taunt reduces damage by 30% and he can proc a shield at the same time. Nothing Riven has reduces damage.
Shen is the only "ninja" in this game that cant actually do any damage....hes really not a ninja, hes more like a big dumb bodyguard with a flak jacket thats always there when you call. My vote, either make him not a ninja and leave him as is, no damage tanky life saver/supporty champ, or keep the ninja outfit and let him actually kill stuff
His kit though needs some updates in general though, since it is pretty Binary, and lacks strengths/weaknesses, counterplay, and synergy.
