New Shen

M0BYESTD1CK·Feb 5, 2016·3 votes·674 views

I just wanted to express my love for Shen before he was reworked. I began playing about three years ago, and Shen was the first champion I ever used. I loved him, and now I am a Shen main. But now I just can't seem to find that place in my heart for him anymore.. I was just wondering if there was anything that I could do to convince all of you at Riot to possibly change him back. Could I make a petition and get a certain amount of players to back me up? If not then please let me know if there is anything that I could do, and I will try my best to get it done. Thank you.

The only good parts of old shen were completely untouched.

Drastically, hilariously wrong. His taunt isn't even half as good as it was.

This is a lie.

It's still hard cc It's still mobility Checkmate.

Oh, wow good work, you proved literally nothing! Then there's that part where it's worse, like I said. Worse and more awkward hitbox, longer cooldown, physical damage for a more convoluted damage split, and the removal of the 50% damage reduction it. You called it "untouched" I believe? I have a math textbook you can borrow if you'd like!

Only the length was changed and they're fixing it.

longer cooldown

2 seconds isn't enough to cut the ability's quality by 50%

physical damage for a more convoluted damage split

Shen now deals pretty much half and half, the perfect split to always be useful no matter how the enemy is itemizing. Not to mention that an hp ratio on the shadow dash is much more useful to Shen than an AP one.

and the removal of the 50% damage reduction it.

Also not enough to cut the ability's usefulness by 50%, especially since shen can EQW to take zero damage which is a lot less than 50%.

You called it "untouched" I believe?

No, that is also a lie. I said the good parts of Shen were untouched. Shadow Dash is still hard cc, Stand United is still global, Shen still builds very tanky. That is all Shen needs to feel like Shen and be useful to his team. Riot could have deleted the rest of his kit and there would still be team comps that want him.

So, like I said... Check. Mate.

So to your definition "untouched" doesn't mean "hasn't been touched?" I have a dictionary here too!
