next major rework in terms of complete overhaul, think Sion or Poppy levels. Closer to Sion maybe.
Shen has a lot of disrupting abilities now.
His Q slows enemies moving away from him. His W makes your allies dodge attacks. His E taunts. His ult is a shield.
He's incredibly disruptive in team fights. The only issue I'm seeing is his laning phase. His passive having a long CD is gonna make him really easy to bully in lane. No ranged abilities whatsoever, too.

Thats good to hear. I loved both of the reworks hopefully the taric one will be good too.
No changes from the leak that I can see.
I'm very curious how the new AP jungle item is going to impact my ekko and elise builds.
New ranked season and new champ select hype.
Poke is important bot but won't make or break him with that much CC in his kit, especially if either his ADC can poke or he can regularly activate his passive to shrug off some of it if any of his CDs are somewhat low since he doesn't have to worry about mana..
If he can do a solid move combo over and over again (E + Q, need to see the CDs on those) and shrug off some of the dmg with his passive + Relic line healing before even considering his W, he should be able to trade favorably on a regular basis considering how crucial AA is down there. Tank champs like Shen who are both designed for toplane and are supposed to build tanky usually have good base dmg and that matters quite a bit bot too (part of the reason Tahm is such a threat down there even with a tank support build, his baseline dmg is pretty good) .
Being able to ignore AA dmg temporarily should be a pretty huge deal (though I really don't understand how the sword positioning works when he isn't using an ability, that could be a big deal too). If he had ranged on top of that I'd probably already be calling him broken without even seeing his baseline dmg. He'd be forcing almost everyone out of lane.

The claymore he's running around with now is just a bit too Garen though.

Ah. Alistar and jax are good comparisons. Actually I can see shen support functioning very similarly to Ali in lane.

Best part is how most of his lines have some background music
So riot clarified that the sword spawns when Shen spawns and leashes behind him when he walks away (pretty far, like offscreen). If Shen TPs the sword does too. When he Qs the sword comes immediately to him.
So my dream has come true, you will drag the sword behind you from fountain like a dog that does not want to go for a walk, and then take Q first so that it doesn't just hang out under turret while you're trying to CS.

So like 250mb+update on pbe, Jhin today?
Edit: NVM confirmed he on there by surrender@20.

This. I immediately thought of taunting an ADC or squishy support in his W while my ADC is busy shooting them and began to salivate when i saw his E was still a taunt and his kit added a slow for running away from him. :x

ok cool. I'm sure it'll make more sense to me when I see it in action. I just wasn't sure if you had to play around IT, or if it played around you.
not really, cos a monthly cap already exists, so there is a 48 chest cap per year that's just not explicit
i'm just saying
keep monthly cap at 4
make yearly cap 24 instead of 48
remove cap per champ
That might be the first time I want a High Noon skin.
Someone has to be a playmaker botlane that isn't Thresh but can still tank.
Haha, yep, Shen is so bought and is so going botlane.

Tahm ain't even a play maker, he's pretty much the opposite of that
