@Riot, please consider altering Shen's Energy numbers (not a balance request).

Greetings Reader,

At the moment, Shen's rework has a energy pool of 400. To me his seems to be a shocking deviation from the 'established' rules where all Energy champions have a pool of 200 Energy. In a later post by Rioters, the reason given for this enlarged pool was to make the energy refund mechanics more important to Shen in combat compared to his innate regen. Whilst this is a valid reason, the implementation seems to be a bit impractical as shown in the list below, where the 'unusual' values are put in italics.

The current situation: Energy Pool: Doubled Energy Regeneration: Normal Energy Costs: Doubled Energy Refunds: Doubled

Instead of the above, I would like to recommend the following:

Suggestion: Energy Pool: Normal Energy Regeneration: Halved Energy Costs: Normal Energy Refunds: Normal

Doing this would not change the overall energy management on Shen's kit in any way (other than perhaps making Energy Regeneration runes slightly less useless), whilst bringing the most visible numbers more in line with those of other Energy-based champions. In my opinion this would fit the Energy theme more, as well as providing - apologies for the meme - more Clarity for the players.

Looking forward to your response on this matter (and please, do let me know if I have overlooked a reason that makes the current implementation preferable), Irungol

TL;DR: Doubling Shen's energy pool, energy costs, and energy refunds, instead of halving his energy regen seems a bit... unoptimal?

PS. The changes to Shen's energy management make it so his 'downtime' between combats is at most 40 seconds compared to the 20 seconds of other Energy-based champions. Is this an intended side-effect?
