I choose to change Ki Strike because I've seen many people either try to build Blade Of Ruined King to reduce its cooldown, or go full tank and ignore it completely. The new Ki Strike should allow Shen to deal damage more consistently, while allowing him to spam abilities a bit easier.

Let's change the subject to his W then. In case you haven't checked the dictionary, feint means "to make a fake or deceiving action, especially during a fight". With that in mind, I modified his shield from something that looks normal into a dangerous weapon: What looks more tempting than a guy standing still, trying to defend himself with a shield? Just attack him, and you'll be sorry.

Shadow Dash is a good ability by itself, even without the damage dealing. The new Shadow Dash is intended make his kit more attached to his ninja theme, while giving him more synergy with his items. So yeah, I'll try to come up with more ideas on his E.

As for Vorpal Blade, I kinda disagree with you. Shen's Q allow his allies to heal themselves regardless of their attack speed, and it's very useful when taking down Baron/ Dragon.

Anyway, the discussion is still fresh, and I'm an open guy. Just post your reply and I'll put them in my notes.
