Old Q basically meant that once you got the flame aura you got sustain for the entire duration of the spell. Combine that with Grasp of the undying, his taunt, his shield, and a Q with his old passive and you would win most trades and espescially win battles of sustain. Basically if your opponent didn't get ignite and Executioner's Calling they were going to lose control of the lane to Shen.
