No Eyes On The Eye of Twilight @ Guinsoo.
I just read the upcoming fiora rework on the PBE, and honestly I agree she doesn't feel much like a fencer and think Feak's right on target with this one.
I just wanted to say Shen desparetly needs a rework. Comeon Guinsoo, he says your name when he is ulting for crying out loud. Never played as Rek'Sai but by watching gameplay videos and checking up on his abilities I came to the conclusion that Rek'Sai can do Shen's job way better than him.
He also dosen't deliver very well on his core fantasy either. Im not opposed to him being a tank, it's more of a trait than a role afterall; some people are born tanky.
I'm opposed to him being a support and too team dependant. How his lore depicts him, he seems more likely to only save someone if it dosen't tip the scales of equilbrium out of balance, afterall he has no emotion to be caring. Therefore he should be neutral and his abilities should be versatile and be able to help out any scenario. He should be throwing a kunai, not a sword, his W should empower his defensive stats with Ki, and give him sort of combatant or evasive passive, not give him an invisible shield, dashing to a target marked with Q should reduce the cool down of shadow dash by 25%. Shadow Dash should deal 30/80/130/180/230 +50% ability power as True Damage and have an increased effect when taunting just one champ like taunt duraition increased to 2 seconds from 1.5 when taunting one champ.
#My Kit Idea:
[Passive]- Unchanged
Q (put what ever seems fitting infront Kunai as an ability name)- Costs 30 Energy. Range 550. Cooldown 5/4.5/4/3.5/3 seconds. Deals 45/90/135/180/225 +45% Ability Power and 1/2/3/4/5 for every 5% health missing as magic damage and marks the target for 5 seconds, basic attacks will restore 6/12/18/24/30 +2% max health over 3 seconds.
[W] Ki Charge- Cost 55 energy. Cool down 18/15/12/9/6 seconds. (Passive) Shen takes 5/10/15/20/25% reduced damage from projectiles and has 15% Chance to parry a basic attack (works just like critical strike) this percentage doubles when Shen drops below 30% health.
(Active) Shen's body is empowered with Ki giving him 15/30/45/60/75 armor and magic resist for 5 seconds +1 second every 200 bonus armor and 1 every 200 magic resist.
Shen's first Q during Ki Charge will throw down a trip wire dealing 50% of shen's kunai as magic damage to targets who pass throw it, slowing and giving allies vision of that target. Shen is notified with a kunai icon above his head when an enemy take damage from the trip wire. Trip wires last 5 mins and cost no energy.
Shadow Dash- Shen dashes to an enemy dealing 30/80/130/180/230 +50 ability power as True Damage taunting enemies for 1.75 seconds and reduces the damage from basic attacks by 50%, shen becomes immune to Crowd Control for the next 5 seconds. Same cool down, same range, cost 100 energy. If Shen dashes to a target marked with Kunai the cool down of Shadow dash is reduced by 25%.
[R] Stand United Upon teleporting Shen temporarily gains an aura and small movement speed buff and 1 stack of an aspect of the role Eye of twilight (similar to dragon's buff) max cap 5 stacks, looses 1 stack on death.
Just do something Guinsoo, your old ninja needs some love <3
P.S. I saw the energy changes on PBE and think their great but still think he is missing something offensive/defensive and this is because all his ult does for him is teleport him. Twist got a tele but at least he deals tons and can kite!
