Ninja Passive Idea

The 4.18 Patch said they were reworking Akali 's W so it would be more ninja like by giving her speed instead of armor (makes since). This got me thinking, shouldn't the same logic be applied to the other ninjas (Shen is a ninja but also a tank so the following might be difficult to apply to him). Ninjas come from the shadows so a passive based on vision of them would be great. Like if a ninja hits an enemy while out of sight they gain a temporary buff (movement speed or strength). Or something like Shaco passive where attacking from behind gives more damage. As for Shen instead if a shield a blind would make more since than a shield and a skill shot would make him seem more ninja like. Hopefully I can get some feed back on this

It might be hard to balance this, but I do agree in theory. Shen's shield being removed with something more ninja-ish (but the same effect) could be cool, but remember, dodge isn't a thing anymore, and what with it being called "feint" we would be talking about a fundamental change (i.e. rework) of one of his spells to make it a blind, not to mention the fact that blinds are not a very prevalent ability either, and Shen could very easily become OP with it, causing him to get nerfs to his tankiness or damage, plus the combo of a blind with taunt seems a bit like cheating (essentially a charm, but without the slow). Also, shields are kinda what make Shen so Shen. Sorry if I rambled a bit.
