Shen is definitely OP atm, he's jumped to being a top pick and ban for too many games after his buffs. The stats don't lie either, check lolstatistics or similar and he's doing well above norm. People were taking one look at the patch notes before his buffs were even implemented and already saying he was OP. Of course, opinions are opinions, but when you consider players from CLG, TSM and AAA were saying this, you tend to put a bit of weight to their opinion. He just does ridiculously well in laning phase now, he has the same issues with vlad in that he's resourceless, so he just has to spam Q to win a majority of lane match-ups. And if he's doing bad, his W can allow him to stall creep waves indefinitely at the tower to prevent easy harass or ganks. On top of being one of the naturally tankiest characters in game now, he scales just so well into late game that it's ridiculous.
