honestly, shen is not that great against a team of similar skill level. sure, early game, shen is a beast (especially if hes laning up top solo), but the fact that he can do no damage later on and always runs out of energy in a matter of two moves, his mid-late game is simply crap. depending on the game, you may be able to pull off an ap shen in some scenarios, but in most cases, your team needs you for the expensive half second taunt disruption tank during team fights. and then, wow, that 40 health per hit becomes really useless, his shield is useless, and taunt unavailable. plus, his ult is just a form of teleport for most of the game, especially after the nerf. wow he can warp in and dagger you. if you die to that its shameful really.

i used to love this character, but as my opponents started getting better, i realized how much more i could own with other characters that arent so handicapped. tanky dps or ap tank alternatives are contribute much more to their team because they can deal damage too. shen cannot.
