Literally so upset with the shen rework. Highly unneeded.

I can think of numerous other areas of League that could utilize riot's limited employees than to rework a solid champion. Shen was already a solid champion that wasn't necessarily a niche pick either. He could be picked into multiple skill matchups. Champion reworks are basically adding a

new champion in League, so why not look at champions that have low play/success rate i.e., Yorick, Nasus, Jayce. Shen was an easy to learn champion, but at the same time, could also be mastered and played at an entirely new level. Shen

was his own champion so to speak, there was no other champion like him. Now, that champion is gone. Sure his ult and dash are still there, but now his already low damage(sometimes) is gone, as well as, lifesteal. Shen has had a steady and larger fan base than that of morde and I can already see the

backlash of this rework. Riot, we, as dedicated players, love your game please listen to the community on this one. I have yet to find a postive feedback on the rework of our beloved shen. I do not think there is anything toxic about shens kit as it stands. It is healthy, straightforward, and meaningful.

Maybe a small change of his shield but that's all I can think about. Please reconsider.

I actually like the changes. the only real problem... shens original abilities suffered heavily from lack of scaling.

His new Q, W, and ult NEED to scale with health instead of AP for shen to be functional as anything but a global ganker.

You may not think much about what he lost was ranged poke, range farming, damage based on his HP, damage reduction on taunt and his amazing sustain.

However I'm fine with him losing his personal hp scaled damage for % dmg but if they let w place the sword where you wanted it would fix the issue of him having no ranged poke immensely

All that would be left to do is give shen back some sustain.

I do love the rework just needs these few fixes.

  1. W place sword wherever you want

  2. In-kit sustain

  3. Damage reduction on taunt
