So one of shen's flaws is the fact that he has difficulty shoving a lane on-demand - so, with that in mind how does Ionic Spark sound on him? (when it is added to SR) The HP helps his passive, and if they buff his passive the way they claim they will (autoattacks lower the time til next passive proc) then the +AS will be a reasonable stat on him too. Other than that, it basically functions like a Wits End with a different defensive stat and different damage mechanic. Thoughts?

Where does it say autoattacks will lower passive cd? All I've seen on PBE/forum notes was that minion attacks will also reduce cd by 0.5 sec per hit, not just champ attacks.

AS will still be a good stat on shen because of the 2% health per hit from his buffed Q

Completely untrue. Q is a HOT effect. Multiple attacks just refresh the healing buff. You'll get more out of building more HP.

He needs to much farm to be played as support. His jungle is pretty darn slow so he's not great in jungle either, but his ganks are quite good. Solo top Shen does pretty well cause q harass is basically free and q+ki strike is good burst and his q sustain isn't terrible. His biggest problem ATM is dropping off and becoming an ult/taunt bot cause his damage is pretty crappy and his taunt is so expensive u basically can only use it once in fights and maybe a second time to run or clean up

It's not exactly that he 'needs' farm, it's just that with zero farm he does nothing and with lots of farm he does nothing + item effects

I'm currently saving to buy Shen and I'm going to play him as a permafarm toplane with a build of 5 warmogs, or maybe 4 warmogs and a fon, or perhaps 4 and atmas, or 3 and atmas and fon. I'm certain that build is going to be amazing. Might also go phage into warmogs into mallet

It's a shame how much people tend to hate on Shen these days. I took a break a couple months ago, and before the break, I used to play Shen all the time because I thought he was still a solid champion.

I come back and the instant I pick Shen, I'm always trolling, or I'm obviously going to lose top lane against every single champion in the game. Shen is deceptively strong at top, and I honestly haven't flat out lost top once as Shen.

He does begin to fall off in terms of damage output towards the middle of the game, but his global presence is as strong as ever, even with the weak-ass ult shield. A team that can properly use that to their advantage has a huge advantage (and no, teleport is definitely much much weaker than Shen's ult, mainly because Shen's ult is up 2x more than teleport is).

I am looking forward to the Shen buffs, not because I think he really needs a ton of buffs, but mostly so people don't flip out and go retarded about the Shen pick, even when they clearly know nothing about the champion.

Is there gonna be a Shen buff? or are you just speculating because of the negative reception he's getting?

that's cuz they rebuffed his early game and didn't buff anything else about him

so his mid and late is still legendary garbage, they just fixed one thing about him.
