I play every game without rune. i usually manage well with other champion. then i buy shen.

that's when the nightmare begin.

i wanna play him as support at bot. but he was terrible. he has no lane presence.

his q suck. ideally, you wanna heal urself and urfriend, so u'll q+AA+ur lane partner AA. but since you have bonus damage passive, after a Q and AA, creep left with very little hp, our creep my last hit it instead of my lane partner. his q also punish me when i try to play safe and last hit with q. it giving me really small amount of heal. his w is a plain vanilla shield does nothing extra. looks pale compared to naut, riven. his e seems good, but it's not. it's has waaaaaaaaaay looooooong cooldown, as long as we wait urf to be playable champion. it has 15 sec CD. so basically u have no lane presence in that long 15 sec cd. his r is terrible. why i say terrible? it barely help other at lv 6, and it surpress urself. when u ult friend and enemy near u, u can't exhaust them. pretty isn't it. and the cooldown at lv 6 is VERY DAMN LONG, so long, ur summoner spell cd looks short compared to his ulti.

then let's see his stat. his hp/armor/mr feel kinda low. compare it too sej.

so, what is shen?

support? with very lame lane presence? tank? with mediocre hp/armor/mr and short cd shield? nuker? without any real nuke spell? fragile fighter who'll get nuked and die after i ulti friend?

or just a boring garbage, piece of shit, trash, underpowered hero who can only shine when you have rune to play?

oh yea i attach a pic too so you can see how suck shen is. regardless his build, he's garbage. top tier trash.

he is a more supporting team based top lane tank with the taunt the shield and the global shield presence as well as the q sustain for top lane. and also playing without runes will put you at disadvantage sure you may be able to play it without them but with them everything becomes much much easier.

Shen if irecall recently was gonan get a change sometime in future, changing his Q i think was stated to help his survibility.

so some good news possible in future.

He is a support mainly because he can taunt. Outside of his taunt, all he has is his ultimate which can be used to help create global pressure. He used to be an okay support back in S1 when there were not many champions with hard CC, but he is completely outclassed CC and damage wise if you compare him to a CC juggernaut like Nautilus .
