What they did to Shen was not as much a buff but rather a cleanup of clunkyness in a champion.

And yes it is a history of a champion's clunkyness being part of what balanced them. I think the most obvious example of this is Rengar. He saw such a power creep simply by smoothing out his gameplay that they followed it by basically forcing the nerf stick down his throat. I really wonder what other old champions will see gameplay cleanups then get nerfs.

I feel that one is going to be Nasus in the very near future (latest PBE added another 150 spell range when he has his ult active making wither have a freaking 950 range counting the 100 range buff from the day before)
