Is the Re-Worked Shen balanced? Jungle Shen viable this season? Old Shen or New Shen?

The slowest teamfight i've ever seen. #tanks #teamwork

I was just wondering if the Re-worked Shen can jungle. I mean obviously due to his new Q and W it can be done but is it worth doing? This Twilight Assault does % health damage ( 5% max once maxed ) and his Spirit's Refuge now gives him a short radius to block all incoming attacks for a short amount of time. I've seen players rush items such as item 1413, item 3153, and item 3091 for the early game cheese. But considering hes a tank can you still build glass cannon AD OR AP?

In general, the new Shen is able to decimate basically anyone's health because of his Q which does % health damage. I believe that in most cases, his Q does " a little too much " but still gives a good trade to champions like Malphite , Gangplank , Poppy .

Of course you can shut down Shen but even going straight tank + His ability Kit makes it difficult ( the downfall is the long CDR ). Camping Shen will stop him. Is Shen Able to jungle and is he balanced?

I don't think you're asking the right questions. How soon can shen gank? So far at the bronze-gold lvl. Majority of shens have been afk farming and not coming to gank a lane. When they do they either are too weak or dont really do any dmg. Just my two cents.

I have played shen jungle. To clear use your q wait until the monsters take down your shield then use your w. You can gank once you get your e so 3 or 4. Build him tanky and if ahead titanic hydra is a good choice. Once your 6 you have tons of map pressure.
