Some Concept for Shen
Hi, I'm first time posting thread here , before we get to the point, please let me apologize for the bad english!
So, I've really like Shen's art, but i just dont really enjoy playing as him for the following reason:
- He's a ninja but his style doesnt feel ninja like at all
- His current skillset has no interaction or synergy at all, feels like just 4 random ability combined
- He's a melee fighter type but all his ability scales with AP with a not that good ratio, making tank is the only choice for him
So heres some of my idea which might help for abit:
Passive:
**(Current) Ki Strike Shen's next attack periodically deals bonus Physical damage. 15/35/55/75 (+0.6 Bonus AD)
Well, the current one isn't really bad but i think scale with bonus ad will be abit better.
(Q)Vorpal Blade
Shen throws out a blade to the targeted area, dealing 60/100/140/180/220 physical damage(+0.7 Total AD). If the blade hits an enemy champion, the blade will be stabbed on them, giving them a kinkou mark. If the blade didnt hit an enemy champion, the blade will be remained on the ground, Shen can pick it up again. reducing the cool-down of this ability. Kinkou mark: Revealing the marked enemy and cause them bleed, dealing 50/60/70/80/90physical damage(+0.5 Bonus AD) over 4sec. If Shen auto-attack or shadow dash on the marked target, he'll pull the blade out(remove the mark), dealing bonus damage 30/50/70/90/110(+0.9 Bouns AD) and wounded the target, reducing their health regan effect.
Concept: The original one is quite boring, and it's not that useful while teamfight, also it wont work with other abilitys, so my idea for this is making it become a "trigger", giving his other abilitys with special effect.
(W)Feint Shen turns into defensive stance for 2 second , he can't move while in the stance but blocking all incoming damage below 2.5/3/3.5/4/4.5% of his maxium health(+1% per 500 bouns health). If the damage exceed the limit, that damage will only be reduced by 50% and forcing shen out of the stance. Shen will also be knocked back(75 range), the distance will be increased based on how much damge exceed the the limit (50range per 100damage, 250range at most)
Concept: The original one isnt really bad... if riven and lee dont exist. So this might look a bit complicated (mostly because my bad english lol), but i want to make this feels like: he tried to block a really heavy blow, but he still get injured and knocked back because the force is way too strong.
(E)Shadow Dash
Shen can cast on a targeted location or a kinkou marked enemy,
Cast on a targeted location: After 1second delay, shen teleport to the target area, taunting all enemies in the area for 1 second. Cast on a marked enemy: Shen instantly teleport behind the enemy, dealing 70/105/140/175/210 physical damage(+1.0 Bonus AD) removing the mark and reset the cooldown of Ki-Strike.
Concept : Hiraishin no jutsu giving shen some mobility
(R)Equalibrium Range: 1100 Shen can cast on an allied champion or a kinkou marked enemy.
Cast on an allied champion: Places a shield on target allied champion, absorbing 250/450/650(+100 per 300 bonus health) plus 75 damage each 5% targeted ally's health missing damage for 5 seconds. After channeling for 3 seconds, Shen teleports to the target's location. Cast on a marked enemy champion: Cursing the enemy with an ancient ninjutsu, dealing 150/250/350(+1.0 Bonus AD) plus 75 physical damage each 5% shen's health missing over 4second. After channeling for 3 seconds, Shen teleports to the target's location. The curse can be removed by quick-silver but cannot stop shen from teleporting to you, however, CCing Shen will stop him from teleporting.
Concept: Not just a defensive move anymore, giving him a great 1v1 potential, when you're the weak, they're the strong, you debuff them, make them as weak as you, no one's too strong, no one's too weak, Balance #Cough#
The entire concept is that : increasing the interacton between his abilities and giving him another viable way. I really hope he can actually be a ninja instead of a tank with a troll-face, taunting everyone and doing nothing.
