Shen

As you probably know they resently reworked Shen With a new Q and W. I personally Find that he is now Utterly Worthless. The gutted him and left him for the vultures where as Darius Hasn't seen a nerf that actually made him fair. The same goes with Viktor But the real point of this Discussion is to talk about how they should undo what they did to Shen. He was so much better before but now he isn't even worth 450 ip if they drop him that low. I don't know if anybody else feels the same about this but it bothers me how they gutted Shen so he can't be used without failure but Darious has only been buffed. Please tell me if you feel the same way about Shen and any other champions that you feel have the same issue. I'll put a poll below to vote if you agree with me or not.

I'd enjoy if they added the old life tap back onto his q. But he is in a better state than pre rework.

I played with a team with two people who thought shen was a bruiser. They also thought tanks don't absorb damage. Fun times. Much popcorn. Such wow.

I dunno. I was worried when his re-work was announced. Then after awhile I realized he just simply brings me to the team now. Late game his W can stop alot of AD carry damage if used properly. I was laning against an irelia and literally took 0 damage in trades due to the passive shield aswell as my W. I miss his regen dont get me wrong, but lots of match-ups you can just negate damage all together if you use your abilities properly.

I dont like the W change. The cooldown is so long and the location is fixed. you're only safe while you remain in it so if you want to avoid damage you have to be in there, so if your opponent simply walks away then you have nothing, if you chase them and you step out of it you're vulnerable again. At least his W shield before the rework could be used both offensively and defensively and it was cast on you, not on the ground. The shield being on his passive is kinda bad if you use Q to farm or activate a skill, shield goes on and cooldown starts which your opponent can mash on you immediately after. would love it if shen lost the stupid spirit blade and got a new passive, keeping the Q active where he gets 3 powered autos and at the very least making his W cast on his own location, not where the ugly spirit sword is.

give shen his old Qi strike passive back

I mean his shield being his passive isnt really that bad. Late game its practically just like before almost every ability you use is going to activate that shield because the CD gets so low. I have used his passive defensively and offensively, all in all I feel like he essentially has 5 abilities now.

I Made this Board because before the rework he was fine there was nothing wrong with his kit. I did fine in my games as him but now I do terribly as him as well as my pre-rework Shen main brother and everybody else i have seen on the game. They all go 0/6 and maybe get 1 kill if they are lucky. My brother stopped playing him all together because he isn't as good as he was before. Again this is just my opinion and Point of View in this but i seriously haven't seen anybody able to use Shen since the rework.
