Im sick of people QQing about Shen, his supposed "buff" is truly a nerf.

to prove it lets look at FACTS

First, his shield:

Energy cost reduced to 40 from 45 (patch V1.0.0.134)

but in a hotfix

Energy cost increased to 50 from 40 (February 21, 2012 Hotfix)

so it started at 45 and ended at 50....

Next, his dash: Normaly the enemy team wont group up if they are facing a shen, so most of the time you are only going to taunt one person. With that lets take a look:

Energy cost increased to 120 from 120/115/110/105/100

Restores 40 energy per champion affected (rather than a flat 50 energy if you affect one)

Taunt duration changed to 1.5 seconds from 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2 (patch V1.0.0.134)

Ok, so 20 energy cost increase, 10 energy restoration nerf, and a .5 second taunt reduction thats 25%!

Finally his ulti:

Channel time increased to 3 seconds from 2.5.

Shield duration reduced to 5 seconds from 7.5. (patch V1.0.0.134)

both nerfs... and BTW in laning his ult has a 3 MINUTE cooldown.

With that I really hope you all do some calculations before you whine someone is OP just because it says "Buff" from Riot.
