With reliable skillshots, a better taunt zone, and a near-global ult that provides a shield, a knockup, and is super hard to interrupt, as well as being faster, that targets allies?
I love this rework, but Shen is gonna need some changes to be relevant after this.
AcidTheWarlock5 votesNew Galio seems like a really bad duelist, Shen still can fight really well and is strong is an all-around tank.
Galio seems like he's not good against AD, while Shen has his shield and dodge zone. And Q gives DPS, which, unless Galio's burst is really strong, will win in tank fights.
Melledoneus2 votesYou have a point, but Shen is known for his ultimate. Upstaging that with a big knock-up and near-instant travel might make him redundant.
SaltyKracka1 votesNear-instant travel that can miss.
Force a flash and all of a sudden Galio's looking like a damn fool.
Imperial Japan1 votesHe gives allies buffs and it can't be interrupted because your teammate died
Big Lincoln2 votesI think they could make Shen better at being the counter to auto-attackers or maybe just generally anti-physical, as opposed to Galio being anti-magic, because I find his dodge zone to be far more interesting than his Q and yet more power is put into the latter
but that wouldn't really fit Shen's theme of duality, would it?
also ult doesn't provide a shield, it gives the ally he jumps to his W's damage resistance
as a quick edit, I still think Shen should be a fighter and not a full tank; it'd be a lot more interesting to see some fighters with supportive/defensive-minded qualities, and it'd probably be easier to balance his damage output vs his durability that way.
DesolationKaizer1 votes...I can see it now. Shen top, Galio Mid, Tahm Kench/Braum/Alistair bot.
PureSilvrr1 votesShen top Pantheon Jg Galio Mid, Tf adc, Tahm support
(I know you were going for a full tank team)
SuperLuigiLXIV2 votesShen top Zac jungle Galio mid URGOT/SION BOT
Let's go boys.

SuperLuigiLXIV1 votesI could answer that seriously if you want, but we'll go with "cause you both smell and sound like a baby in need of a diaper change" for now.
Yay for poop humor :D
DesolationKaizer1 votesI was thinking of a more protect the adc comp. Imagine trying to get to an adc that has galio, shen, rammus jg and tahm on their side.
SuperLuigiLXIV1 votesDidn't even think about that, but the amount of peeling power behind a Shen/Galio combination would make the cradle comp very scary o_o
Imperial Japan1 votesI love full tank Shen
Edit: loved* rework made him a tanky fighter

And get this, here's the REAL funny part: they're nerfing Shen on the same patch. Hilarious, right?
Illâoi Evê Siôn1 votesThey might have to remove some of his extraneous strengths in order to keep him in line. If his passive can damage towers, I think that'll be one of the first things to go. Or else he'll just split-push all day and then ult into fights.
And A Real Hiero1 votesWell no worries, they're nerfing him to make super duper sure he stays shit.
