The idea being to punish him a lot for botching an engage, yea?
Yeah, it also emphasizes the value of peeling him.
The other big reason was to make it so Shen's disengage isn't crazy. It's still good, but in earlier iterations, he could keep casting Q for passive procs and E for dashes and was just impossible to chase down.
Shen's Shadow Dash costs him 180 energy and Twilight Assault (his Q) costs 140. Wow.
Shen has slightly unusual Energy. Energy pool is 400 and costs are about twice what they would be usually. His energy regen is not increased, but his E passive replenishes a lot from Q attacks.
Basically if you keep fighting stuff you will probably keep up energy. If you keep whiffing engages or just disengaging, you will oom.
