So I went to ff@20 to check out the nerfs lined up for Yasuo that I've been hearing so much about, and as I'm perusing the buffs/nerfs I find something absurd; there's a nerf for Shen of all champions on the PBE. So Ekko gets 4 less AD for being a MASSIVELY problematic champion, but Shen: a champion who's been balanced, and fine for quite a while you do this to?! http://imgur.com/CvUC5BM http://imgur.com/BLTe5qr

Riot Pls

Please note that we are approaching the Worlds patch, and Riot wants to aim balance decisions towards the pro players a bit more. Shen is a rather solid performer up in pro level.

It's for worlds they're trying to make more available picks. So unless you want to see ekko and shen every game, expect bullshit nerfs and buffs.

EDIT: Got downvoted. Jesus, please just fucking understand they're trying to balance for worlds. Wether you like it or not it's the reality.

I personally think Riot should just have a different set of changes for pro players than everyone else.

Since that's not going to happen let's just be grateful it only happens for about two months a year.

Lol more Shen nerfs, better nerf Shen.

Edit: Shen is litterally getting nerfed because: Teamwork op.
