I certainly agree that this buff isn't to Shen's core tank role. The only real bonus to his tank stats is his increase to armor. One. Whole. Point. Of. Armor. I think it's more that most people want to see more damage, and I think that Riot is trying to encourage Shen players to build AP. I expect Shen's ult to keep its 1.5 ratio because even if it saves a carry, shen himself would be squishy and won't be able to dish out the damage of anyone else built with AP. I still think Shen's lane poke is better now though. At the VERY least, it'll be easier to farm in lane now. I don't know about you guys, but I've always used Vorpal Blade to farm in lane, sometimes harassing the enemy if they're close enough.
