Shen isn't a burst champion, atleast he wasn't designed to be... So why make him reliant on ability actives for burst damage? Especially when he is a energy-based champ with low to moderate base and God-Forsaken AP scalings.This is what really hurts shen as the game progresses. The damage on shen's shadow dash is minor and on a high cooldown so it is negligible, any summoner who values this ability utilizes it for it's vesatile utility and the play making potential it holds. Removing the damage it deals wont make it the first CC only ability in LoL >.> Veigar. The multi-taunt potential is strong enough as it stands and the reduction in energy as well as cooldown per rank has made it more favoured to max 2ed over Feint. A small passive here would suffice.

TahmKench does not suffer the same fate because of his passive on Abyssal Voyage helping him to scale better into the lategame. Shen is a flippin' tanky ninja, not a skinny tech or magic user like Ekko and Azir respectively, so doesn't that make AP scalings unthematic. Making him more dps oriented and less reliant on actives would make Tank/Support shen more viable and would loosen the constraint consumption. Riot would probably be able to revert the last energy buffs he got if he did better DPS.

My rework ideas to save shen: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/nF291ovM-very-thematic-ability-tweaks-for-shen

*I put a lot of work, time and thought into this disussion, giving my feedback as a shen main since S3 and I would really appreciate some Rioter responce.

Are you saying teleporting across the map is totally completely ninja like and not magical at all?
