Do you have any thoughts on what to max on Shen as a support? I always see Q maxed, both in top lane and as a support, but I find myself running out of energy during engages in the early game: E+Q is 160 energy out of my 200, leaving me with 40. If I need to shield myself it's 50 more energy I spend in a single rotation of my spells. And if I need E to get away, not only do I need to wait for a huge cooldown (16s at rank 1), but more often than not I have no energy to cast it.

Which made me think about it: should I max E first? The energy costs get progressively lower (5 less energy per rank), and the cooldown is significantly lower too (2 seconds less per rank). Levelling Q gives me better base damages and slightly better healing for my ADC. Is levelling Q really worth it? Or should I level E to get more taunts available, which is my only form of CC?
