Ok, Shen

Before 6.2 His Q: Shens q was great the life steal ability was amazing W: shielded him self (I can understand the new W) E: Taunt and Dash R: Shield and teleport to allies

After 6.2 Q: Drags sprint blade to him causing damage to foe's if dragged throw, (good in team fights but what happened to the life steal.) W: Shields you and near by allies (great perfect couldn't have done better) E: Same R:Same

Review: I guess you lose some and gain some because. Shen is a great champion all around but i think the life steal was greatly needed, And come on Bring up his attack speed please it takes to long to attack. there for his gold totals suck. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

But this is just my opinion. I want to hear yours please?

One thing you forgot to mention was his passive.

Shen gains a shield based on HP when using an ability (10 sec CD), CD is reduced by 4 seconds every time an ability is used on an enemy champion.

Now the quick burst from his previous passive was cool, but shield up time can become insane later in the game, not to mention %HP damage on each hit of his Q.

I for one am going to be playing him Jungle/Support because he will be similar to poppy in regards to scaling and utility. I like the direction and thought process Riot has with tanks and fighters since that is the role i prefer to play.

You can spam his Q in lane for easy last hits. I don't think you really should need the extra attack speed to secure CS. And if you play around with his new mechanics, you can get a whole bunch of extra attack speed back when you really need it.

There are two changes I would consider. The sword should teleport to the target of the R at the onset of the channel so that it would look more visually impressive by adding a neat effect to the sword's arrival and make for some clutch saves by a wise Shen taking advantage of his W mechanics. I'd also change Q to be a double cast power, where the first cast of Q would function like his old ability and the second cast returns the sword back to his position, buffing his auto attacks.

The way Q works right now, it could be a little fat Buddha statue, a jade dragon or a Torii gate. A floating sword just doesn't make that much sense since it's most dramatic effect is entirely defensive, with the W.

One of my concerns is: Can the enemy team see the tether? If you don't always keep the sword near you, then it acts as a free ward to tell them where Shen is on the map. Hope Riot thought of this, but won't hold my breath.
