I like the new Shen

Shen is honestly a lot of fun to play with and hard to play against.

For instance, his W can and will save team mates engaging an AA heavy team (ADCs, Gnar, Jax, Xin, etc.), keeping them in the fight longer and giving them a reason to stay for a while longer in a fight. His Q makes him a nightmare for tanks, like Tahm and Zac who rely on high af HP. His E can make or break a teamfight. Landing that at the correct time will make you feel like you're a pro. However, landing just a smudge short or going the wrong way will make you seem like an idiot and might get you killed if you E at an inopportune time. His ult will make your the lifesaver of the team and it's where I believe a few certain skills will come into play a lot. Map awareness is one of the most basic, yet overlooked, skills in this game next to split second decision making.

Can he be outplayed? Yes he can.

He can easily be harassed if done right. High mobility champs can just kite him around and he won't be able to do anything for a while unless his team is somewhere nearby. If he misses his E, punish him hard before he can recover. His W won't stop abilities, so poking him and his team mates with skill shots or point and click adventure skills will either force them off the sword circle or will kill them.

All in all, I feel like he's a very well done rework and I love to see that he's coming back into play again.
