Do you want to know something funny I saw on nerfplz.com? Because it's actually depressing.
http://www.nerfplz.com/2017/05/2017-best-champions-tier-list-solo_22.html?m=1
Shen is listed as a tier 2 top laner in solo queue, where he used to be tier 1.
Yasuo, Talon, Akali, Gragas, Swain, and Kayle are all listed as tier 1 top laners at the moment.
So you're telling me that a skirmisher balanced for mid, 2 assassins, a jungler, a mage, and whatever Kayle is are better top laners than a champion made for top?
That's awesome. I'm glad to know Riot nerfed Shen for LCS and made him better in solo queue. I'm glad that Shen has an artificially bloated win rate from his lane dominance rather than his ultimate being a reliable tool for swooping in and saving people.
I'm glad that my champion is getting another rework 'sometime' because Riot was like "whoops we f*cked up haha, sorry we half-assed this." I'm glad my champion has a bigger anchor on him than the champion wielding a literal anchor.
And I am so ecstatic Riot would rather give Bard a pool party skin than consider giving our resident Shenpai a nice skin so he can flaunt those spirit-slaying abs.
Now, I'm gonna predict some comments here.
inb4 "nerfplz is bs" "RIP Vorpal Blade" "Haha Silver bitch stfu you know nothing" "Mell get off the Boards you're overstaying your welcome" "I made a post about this but it got downvoted"
I know other champions are in worse conditions but let's be honest, we don't want to see champions like Azir or Rengar strong again. And, before you ask, I'm not angry, I'm not trying to clamor for buffs, and I'm not QQing. I'm just sad that my champion is designed by people who seemingly hate him and don't play him.
Thank you for reading this misled post of emotional garbage.
