"resourceless and no cds" except he has cds on the important tools. his w, his e in a weird way, his ult.

his q is basically a boosted aa .... well, until you get enough ad, at which its even. problem is, it doesnt synergize. given the as required to get q to lowest cd, its animation actually hurts your dps.

his e actually gives him shitty mobility. sure, its got no cooldown on different targets, but its slow, interruptable, very short range and targetted. dodging with your e isnt much better, and it leaves you open to spells the enemy can get a guaranteed hit of by predicting where you land.

his ults scaling is ok. his range is good, but again, its situational. the cd is somewhat low, but since you cant just use it like the other ults, that hardly means much. its base value is actually bad. 400 on an ult that is also situational is not impressive. you cant actually q during the channel. only at the end of it.

yes, he has cc. unreliable cc that he needs to hit 3 qs for, in other words 5 seconds at the very best. not impressive.

its free, yes. it regenerates, but it takes forever to do so, so that hardly matters. its actually easy to outwait. its 2 seconds for buggers sake. also, shens ult is powerful due to the whole "Tank with hard cc teleporting to you" thing.

as for the banrate, that doesnt mean he is broken. hell, annoying champions can actually have a high ban rate. case in point, eve. eve had a very high ban rate in the first 4 weaks of s4. despite that however noone played her, and she didnt overperform.
