Honestly, if it's such a pain to balance for pro play, why can't we make Shen's R no longer global?

Like, make it gain range with every level and maybe have it be a global at rank 3?

Riot's just nerfing AROUND problematic aspects instead of just tackling the real issue here.

He would have to be massively buffed in other parts of hits kits to compensate.

Because shen "why should you pick me" thing in pro is his insane presence at lvl 6, not at lvl 16 just like pre-nerf twisted fate, which is why they didn't make his ult global at lvl 16

the problem between shen and twisted fate, is that twisted fate trades high presence at lvl 6 with worse laning phase. But shen's laning phase is not bad at all. The shen mains want you to believe that he's impossible to lane when shen is actually picked in high elo even against darius, he can survive easily just by pressing Q everytime darius uses Q, leaving darius pushing the lane and being in danger of a gank and shen taking no damage.

I think the problem in this game with teleports was always the lack of follow-up against it, in dota2 i don't remember the amount of global teleport on abilities because we have tp scrolls

in season 4 we had teleport and shen wasn't overbearing because you could tp to follow him, until tp was nerfed a lot of time. The cd is high even if you use it on towers

riot never addresses the real problem until there's nothing left to nerf

Remember rift-limp? Kassadin

So it's literally 100 percent garbage completely during the laning phase? Now thats some good balancing ideas right there
