We'll have to wait for the patch to actually see it in action I guess.

YES. No reason to remove all global teleports but let Shen keep his. Do this and I'll speak no more of Shen.

There is a gigantic reason to let Shen keep his global teleport. For starters, it's not even friggin global to begin with. You can't just pop up in the middle of the enemy base and start backdooring because you are limited by your teammates' positions. Second, it's much more reflex-based than gate/mandrop - those two you usually use to gank, get back to lane, backdoor, whatever the fuck. Stand United needs you to keep watching the map 24/7 or have everyone on voice comm and wait for them to yell 'SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN'. Do you know what limiting shen's ult range would do? It would make it nearly useless. Shen usually goes up top -> you can't use it offensively to towerdive unlike gate/mandrop, you can't use it to gank much because you can't teleport behind enemies, and surprise-rape is also out of the question since 'HOHOHO, SUDDENLY AN ENEMY GETS A SHIELD' is totally not suspicious and you are dum if you don't gtfo in the 3 seconds it takes to channel. Furthermore, giving it the same range as mandrop means you can't effectively save anyone in lane -> bot is obviously out of the question, and so is mid in like 75% of cases. If both you and your mid are standing in typical places for your lanes, you'll miss like 5 steps worth of range to save the mid's bum, and given the clutch-save nature of the ult, there's no way in hell you could save anyone with it if you needed to take those 5 steps.

so TL;DR you know shit, gtfo :x

Many moons ago, everyone banned evelynn because Sorakabot found a way to make her viable. Riot deemed she should be nerfed into oblivion because she was "anti-fun" as they like to call it. Their reasoning was that she forced the other team to play extremely passively in lane because if they were offensive, an additional enemy might suddenly pop out of nowhere (stealth).

That sounds a lot like Shens ult to me. Except you can't ward against stand united.

He's banned or firstpicked nearly every game. Nerfs will come. The sooner you accept this, the less butthurt will flow when they inevitably hit.

If you've got anyone competent laning against Shen, he should never be able to teleport away.

But I guess Shen is so OP he suddenly makes people on the enemy team dumb as bricks.

Unless shen decides a tower is a reasonable price to pay for a doublekill bot and a free dragon

Getting stunned while channeling = doublekill bot + free dragon?

ITT: Potato butthurt about fundamentally broken champ that's banned/firstpicked in pretty much every game possibly getting nerfs to bring him in line with other global ults.

"Nerf" him back to the way he was before the buff that made him "op" and leave the ult alone.

He was sleeper OP before the buff. People picking him up again just reminded everyone how wtfbroken he was. A slap on the wrist at this point won't change that. You have to cut away the cancerous tumor of global presence in a game where noone else has it.

In an ideal world, Shen would never be allowed to teleport. Or wait... That wouldn't be ideal for Shen, who could just back off and teleport... But... That wouldn't be... MIND BLOWN.

That shit is so gay when it happens.

Played Teemo yesterday, fun little harrasser, totally outplayed Riven top, lost the game but it was fun. Played Cho jungle, slow but good ganks. Flash-nom nom OP.
Bought Graves, but he seems to be Fotm or something, hes picked in every fucking game. No chance to try him.

The only butthurt I'm seeing comes from clueless cocks who get outplayed by something they have no idea how to counter, and still haven't managed to get an idea after what, 2 months? :M

Kassadin is also banned in almost every game. Does that make him SUPAHOP? :M
