Champion Update: Shen

[quote=DillButt64][quote=Embracing]holy fuck riot i get shen's lore and stuff is really about protecting and shit but stop fucking making defensive mechanics[/quote] defensive mechanics are fun though, more fun than just building a shit ton of resistances and standing inbetween the enemy and your adc getting hit by shit[/quote]

[quote=utopus][quote]Here ladies and gents we have someone judging a champion's viability before he is even released. And remember, a champion's lack of sustain means he is not very viable. Just ask [[Malphite]]! [/quote] Well I simply have no idea how he'll get through laning phase. The only way he can trade with his opponent is through repositioning his spirit blade, which requires him to be in melee range of his opponent, or a minion. I simply don't see how a champion like [[gnar]] or [[lissandra]] won't absolutely dumpster him in lane[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]I can't see how it'll be any worse than Jax's laning. And Jax's laning is pretty decent already.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]I actually think this might turn him into a jungler. His Q now should make him kill monsters faster. He already had okay ganks and godly map pressure.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]I think it'll mostly be his shield to try and get him through lanephase, much alike Malphite. As for his Defensive Mechanic, I don't see an issue. It does what it does, but the field is tiny, needs great sword positioning AND it makes them sitting ducks for AOE. It's useful but it doesn't seem broken or anywhere near [[wind wall]] tier[/quote]

[quote=HiFromBuddha]I like how well his new Q synergises with his taunt. Taunt through them and then press Q for a very likely to hit Q. Furthermore, since I'm guessing his Q behaves like the return on [[Orb of Deception]] or [[Timewinder]], You could cast Q and then immediately taunt towards an enemy to get a near guaranteed hit assuming you land the taunt. I like it, removes some of the mindlessness of his laning phase, but I'm afraid that , his harassing potential is going to be incredibly weak unless he dedicates himself to a trade by dashing in.[/quote]

[quote=TheSilverDust]Wallop your giant sword in my face, [[Shen]]pai! EDIT: My brother (who is a [[Shen]] main) liked the update, especially that dodge field. I liked the part where he has that giant sword. He's a beefy person now by the look of the model. Nice update overall imo :3[/quote]

Vyn, thoughts on this kit for the support role?[/quote]
