How I would have reworked Shen

Like it or hate it, I feel like sharing it :P

Note: Im going to do this in the moment off the top of my head, based on the new Lore.

Passive: Feint

Shen is a ninja. He is agile, quick and hard to lock down in a fight. Shen takes reduced damage from basic attacks and AoE abilities.

Passive: From the Shadows

After taking damage from a certain number of basic attacks or AoE spells, Shen gains stealth and a burst of movement speed for 3 seconds. Attacking or using an ability will end the stealth immediately. Shen's next basic attack within 3 seconds of exiting stealth is AoE, dealing damage and slowing targets by a moderate amount for 1.5 seconds.

Q: Vorpal Blade

Shen's blade for slaying the living. Passive: If the enemy team has more kills than Shen's team, Shen's basic attacks deal increased damage to enemy champions. Active: Shen throws his Vorpal Blade in a target direction, dealing damage to the first enemy champion, minion, or neutral monster struck. Enemy champions hit take additional damage over time for 5 seconds. Shen gains increased health regen while the Vorpal Blade drinks from an enemy champion.

W: Ki Blade

Shen's blade for slaying spirits. Passive: If Shen's team has more kills than the enemy team, Shen's basic attacks deal increased damage to minions and monsters. Active: Shen resets his auto attack, dealing additional magic damage and restoring Energy.

E: Shadow Dash

Active: Shen dashes in a straight line, dealing damage to all enemies struck and taunting enemy champions for 1-2 seconds (scales with rank).

R: Stand United

Passive: Eye of Twilight- Shen can see invisible units within 300 units of himself while stealthed by his passive. Active: Shen shields a target ally and channels for a few seconds before appearing near them. While the ally is shielded, basic attacks and AoE abilities against that ally count toward Shen's passive.

Left hard numbers out, people focus too much on those things. Thoughts?

Inspiration from Shen's lore:

Passive:

"Shen suddenly appeared in the central court of Noxus. Standing in the very heart of his enemy’s stronghold, onlookers watched in rapt horror as he appeared to fight a terrible battle against a threat they could not see. To the crowd, Shen seemed to flash in and out of existence..."

Q and W

"“I am sorry for this, Your Holiness,” he said. He placed his spirit blade back into its scabbard and drew his steel saber instead. It was not the sword he had expected to use that day."

E and R are just his iconic abilities, so I wouldn't change them too much.

The "Eye of Twilight" passive on his ult is also inspired from the scenario in his lore where he sees things that others do not.
