Try Shen Support

So I've tried Shen support, and while I can always attribute it to good luck, It works very very well. Coordinate Spoils of War last hits and vorpal blade healing with you bot lane partner and the health return is glorious. Early sightstone and upgrading to Face of the Mountain will get also synergize very well with ki strike's damage. All this along with Riot bringing his taunt's hit collision back a little I'm really enjoying myself.

If anyone want's to also try it out/ has already tried it out, how'd it go? Any items you find particularly amazing besides Face and sightstone? Any good adc synergy?

I know under the old tag system that he was tagged as support (so was Teemo!), but I haven't tried that yet. I just saw a support Mundo, and I think tank supports may really be worth trying for a while.

I have no idea what will stick long term, but despite having read up on everything while it was on PBE and playing all day, I really don't know how things are going to stand after a week or two. (I'm having a lot of fun though.)

Some problems that I see just at first glance:

Not enough utility.

If you want cc you take leona who has a ton more. If you want cc and heal you take alistar who can tank better, heal better, and cc better.

You cannot ulty across the map.

Because that means you leave your adc 2v1 in lane which means you either loose a tower (its it's far enough into the game) or that he will be zoned/denied.

Although I do see the con of having a ton of health - being tanky and dealing good damage because you are shen, but you actually need to get to that point in the game and his laning seems meh to me. Need to actually try him out.
