Why the Shen nerfs? Seriously...
It's like his ultimate doesn't allow anything else about him to be good and that's sad cause it really lacks the depth to be the ability where all his power is allocated. It's literally just an average meat shield and TP.
Shen literally can't get sht done now without it, no chance for early lead and gold advantage outside his R because he isn't strong against anyone anymore but gained more counters against him what once were skill match-ups.
If I was to put shen in a class of champ, i'd say he's a bodyguard tank, the type that lingers around and offers incredible peel for a single ally. Saying this, i'd put him between
and
. He isn't a CC warehouse like Braum or has as much dmg as Poppy and they both have better engage than him but he does have better peel utility than Poppy and of course brings more damage than Braum would while being a better split pusher than both of them via ult. You could say that balances it out and their unique jobs are
Bruiser
** Disrupter**
Porter (Map Control).
But I can't help but feel Shen falls short of what he should be allowed to have. Pre-Reworked Buffed Shen was the best and the only thing I like about this one is that he has conveniently scaling meat shield and another ally peel ability.
