Thank you Riot, for the Shen buffs.

That buff to his passive will help his late game tremendously and allow me to buy more tank items.

The buff to his MR also means a better Shen when going against enemies with powerful AP spells. Though it won't take away all the damage, it will allow a more tanky Shen.

The buff to his E is a dream come true. I can now feel at ease in late game if I miss my E yet still have the energy to use my W and/or my Q.

While I still would like to see what they might be able to do with a rework, this will help him a LOT. Pretty excited for this to go live

I'm glad this was a straight buff as well, no "compensation" included.

Singed item 3070 still no mr

Because he's not already near unkillable? And non-interactive? And doesn't scale off MR?

As a Shen main, this makes me really happy.

and I still feel for the other tanks that have not been updated to have Magic Reistance per level added to their stats.

Well typically, you'd be happy if RIOT buffs your main. Because you know, it's stronger now.

It's a nice little buff to tide Shen over until his rework.

Thank you Riot. This doesn't address all of his issues, but will still definitely help him a bunch

Inb4 he crushes PBE and remains unchanged/nerfed as a result :^)

He's not going to crush much. These buffs do only so much.

  1. MR allows him to sustain better against those assassin mages.
  2. The lower passive allows Shen the ability to regain his energy faster without the need for bonus AS.
  3. The lower costs on his E are there because of all the trouble it caused Shen even if he hit the champion.

These are not buffs that can be abused.

Well, I was joking.. You just never know what might happen. The extra MR will also help against cinderhulk junglers, for one.

Lowering his passive CD won't break him.

Giving him 2 + 1.25 MR/level won't break him.

The two together won't break him.

Wot.
