But none of his moves boost his dps. Ki strike does damage based on your hp. For a character to really be a dps, they need abilities that will help them deal out more damage. Shen has none. All his moves are oriented towards tanking or supporting. All other good dps's have spells which will boost their effectiveness in attacking. Corki has gatling, tristana has rapid fire etc. etc. Shen has none of these. The only one he has is Ki Strike which scales on hp. With hp, he can do alot of damage with Ki Strike and tank their whole team. With damage...he can't do much that tryn/corki/(insert carry here) can't do better.

tl;dr: None of his skills help him do more DPS so he shouldn't be played as a dps. He should be played to his strength which is as a tank. /end rant
