Just from playing one game with him, I didn't really need the pots.

Inept got baited 
Yay CLG scrim! Looking forward to seeing some Olaf.

Solo Top Shen with Atmogs running TP would probably be unstoppable now. buffed health to damage ratio = Insane ki strke damage. 50% damage reduction on 3700+ health = unkillable. Ult and TP = Split push all day like all good solo tops do. Why can new Shen not do?

No idea why hsgg wanted Olaf when they had Malphite. Frozen heart 2 gud.

What did they do to WW passive? Did they remove the stacking thing? That would be a massive nerf....I love my WW
I also happen to own Shen :O.
I gotta play him but the changes look like they completely change his build and itemization. His dash is now comlpletely a one point wonder. And AS seems to be absurdly strong on him, proccing Ki every 3rd or 4th attack with shield on..... thats nuts. He should be one of the best dualists ingame with the shield and 50% Damage reduction with taunt from level one.
Im going to try a build maxing Feint over dagger and just fucking whaling on kids while stacking health...it looks ridiculous.
Itemization:
Ionic looks strong with the health adding 25ad to his kistrike plus help pushing and gets you assists Zekes also looks great with the same health, lifesteal and 15CDR which is key Youmuus also good with fat AS and CDR, armorpen not as useful Malady could be build-able as he is all magic damage
defensively Randuins always strong on shen with his taunt Spirit Visage could be alright early for more sustain if you are against rumble or other magic Warmogs, very strong synergy with passive, 127damage added every 3/4 attacks for free...nuts
Atmas going to always be in there with the amount of health you want to stack
This is going to play completely differently than old shen.

Olaf just picked as a counter to irelia. Pretty sure navi mentioned it, I first saw it by Dyrus though.

let's drop the whole e-peen measuring contest and just drop arguing with cloud since he's dead set on being right about Shen being weak in lane or something. Pfft neo, all I know about that guy is jiji carrying him out of elo hell.

To be honest with all of you I like when Shen is OP. I dunno why but Shen feel more legit being OP than other character. x) Perhaps because ye.. Shen is a bit more difficult to play than Rammus or Galio.
But Shen is a Guinsoo character. These never get the right balance. Same for Shaco or Eve/Twitch. The guy is from dota, you can't blame him !

Is there a list somewhere of which designers made which champs?

Shen is definitely my favorite tank to play even when he was considered weak. I think he has too much utility to be allowed being powerful. but he was so mediocre in every aspect that he didn't have a defined role. He needed farm so he couldn't really support. His jungle was slow and he couldn't deal damage even if he had farm and built his tank items. His only strength was being a strong split pusher. However, Nid, GP and Singed are strong in that area as well and are much more useful in duels and team fights. Now that Shen's damage has been buffed and is more tanky, he can do well most of the things that a solo top normally does.

Hey, Galio isn't that easy ! There's finesse to him if you want to use his utility well and at the right times.

Even without doing damage, even the derpiest of retard solo queue-rs will have no trouble taking advantage of that.
I don't know. They typically lack sustain, and aren't that good at farming. It would be easy to push Sej or Blitz under tower at early levels, where they can't last hit easily. I agree that once farmed they're very strong, but to get them there?

Saintvicious: I'm going to ward this (at blue with hsgg) *wards the edge in bush* *hsgg wards half an inch away one second later* ... I thought to myself when Saint said that, what great communication. Apparently its worth crap lol.

Naut might break that, though. His shield is a pretty darn good pushing ability that helps negate harass, and ult-Q means you can't get away from him once he hits 6. His jungle ganks seem really strong too, and maybe even his harass in the jungle.

meh, CLG.eu plays with horrible pings on the NA tournament server and you could see that. iirc NA to EU would be better ping wise than EU to NA.
