Turns out the other team had the second choice for bans (2 bans at once); they NEVER BANNED SHEN. Told one of my teammates to grab it; I volunteered immediately to use Shen. Told the guy who switched with me (he got my Cho'Gath) that things will be fine because when Shen's around in ranked games, that's going to turn many things in our favor.
Shen's nerfs this patch made him far less viable now. He's rarely banned / picked in high ELO ranks anymore. He's gone down from being a top ban / pick to being a 4th / 5th pick.
