How is Shen atm?
Well i just used shen for the first time in a very long time and right now he's still pretty bad early game. You can't really do anything unless the other player is like bad... or maybe im just bad at shen. He only has like 1 source of damage which is his Q really.. and for combos, he really doesn't have any good combos outside teamfights. You can't really beat anyone 1 v 1, till later on in the game. And when you're actually going all-in in a 1 v 1, you end up running low on energy to Q again, once i again his Q is his only source of damage... and without it you can't do anything other than tank it out and auto attack.
Here are my suggestions to make Shen the legend he used to be again... Just my opinions.
- Increase his attack speed a little maybe?
- Increase his energy?
- Reduce the energy cost on his abilities?
He only has 200 energy, i mean q > w > e > q? won't happen because you have run out of energy. You either have to stop, and auto attack and WAIT till your energy comes up or run back. And if you're caught off with a gank when you go all in, you won't be fast enough to get away because he is pretty damn slow early on and you most likely won't have enough energy to dash away..
Shen is really not that good of a top laner right now till group fights and even then, if people don't focus you.. you're useless as a tank. And if you can't do anything as a tank, his low amount of damage output doesn't help that much either. What do you guys think?
