Shen Changes

Patch 7.1f

Buff

Shen’s presence has been underperforming across all tiers, so we’re increasing the base damage of his first ability at all ranks, along with the percentage max Health damage after triggering his Spirit Blade empowerment. This will give him stronger trading power and make him more threatening in Baron lane matchups.

Twilight Assault

  • Health ratio increased from 2.5/3/3.5/4% target's maximum health to 3/3.5/4/4.5%.
  • Empowered health ratio increased from 5/5.5/6/6.5% target's maximum health to 5.5/6/6.5/7%.

Patch 7.0

Buff

Stats

  • Base energy regeneration increased from 50 to 60.

Patch 6.1b

Buff

Shen often struggles with waveclear, making it tough to decide when to support his teammates. We’ve increased his laning speed to help with lane control and timing to support.

Twilight Assault

  • Damage against minions increased from 100% to 150%.

Patch 6.0

Buff

Stats

  • Base armor increased from 40 to 46.
  • Base health increased from 570 to 630.
  • Health growth increased from 105 to 112.
  • Magic resistance growth increased from 1.6 to 2.

Patch 4.2

Buff

Stats

  • Base movement speed increased from 340 to 350.

Patch 4.0

Nerf

The buffs we gave this Kinkou in Patch 3.5a have pushed him over the line in the Jungle. We’re reducing some of the bonus damage that he deals to monsters with Twilight Assault in order to reduce his clear speed and knock him down a peg.

Twilight Assault

  • Damage against monsters reduced from 200% to 150%.
  • Maximum damage against monsters reduced from 250 to 225.

Patch 3.5a

Buff

Baron Lane Shen is performing well, but we’re looking to give his jungle a bit of a boost so we’re bumping up his primary damage method against monsters.

Twilight Assault

  • Damage against monsters increased from 100% to 200%.
  • Maximum damage against monsters increased from 125/150/175/200 to 250 at all ranks.

Patch 3.5

Buff

We’ve noticed that Shen players have been struggling to push waves, in ways that we don’t believer are appropriate even though he isn’t intended to have very strong waveclear. To open up more build paths for this stealthy kinko, we’re adding splash damage to Twilight Assault itself, which should also make the ability more satisfying to use.

Twilight Assault

  • New effect: Applies 50% damage to Melee attack cleave.

Patch 3.3a

Nerf

The champion Ultimate Cooldown reduction changes in Patch 3.3 have favored Shen more than we expected, making him one of the most powerful champions on the Rift. To restore balance back to the Baron Lane, we’re pulling back on his overall dueling potential.

Ki Barrier

  • Base shield reduced from 60 to 109 (based on level) to 51 to 100 (based on level).

Twilight Assault

  • Empowered health ratio reduced from 5.5/6/6.5/7 maximum health to 5/5.5/6/6.5%.

Patch 3.3

Buff

Stand United

  • Cooldown reduced from 130/115/100 seconds to 110/100/90.

Patch 3.2

Change

Shen’s energy regeneration is currently lacking in comparison to his ninja brethren, so we’re increasing his passive energy regeneration while cutting back on some of the energy he gains from his passive to bring him more in line with other energy based champions.

Stats

  • Base energy regeneration increased from 25 to 50.

Ki Barrier

  • Energy restoration reduced from 15/17.5/20 (at level 1/5/9) to 10/12.5/15 (at level 1/5/9).

Twilight Assault

  • Energy cost increased from 65/60/55/50 to 75/70/65/60.
