So uh, why does shen have two swords

Maybe I missed something in the preview, but it looks like he doesn't use his second sword anymore. Is it his crit animation now?

...Can he at least use two swords when attacking wards?

rito pls

If you check the models on Lolking, he only has the one sword. http://www.lolking.net/models?champion=98&skin=1

these models are wrong. he has 2 in game and uses them both.

I could have sworn he had two swords in his preview

Maybe it's only a particle effect and not in his model because I'm pretty sure his second sword is the ghostly sword now

side note: now tpa shen doesn't make sense :(

oops, sorry, didn't realize the shen on lolking was the updated model. i went into a custom and tested it on the current shen because i'm an idiot. sucks that they took away one of his swords, i have tpa shen :^(

Probably an error with the ChampUp page, looking at all of the models on it, they DO have 2 swords

http://puu.sh/muKj8.jpg The teaser has him use his small sword though. Those models on Lolking are actually his small swords. If you look at his spell1attack animations he's swinging literally nothing.

It's possible that the modeling is incomplete, and they will add a second sword later. (though it seems unlikely.)

Not really sure his swords were that long to begin with. Realistically, any sword longer than your arm, Simply can't be drawn from your back as Shen does.

Why does yi have two knives on his boots?!

Uh, perhaps the other sword is linked with the spirit sword. If he drops it, the spirit sword will stay with the dropped sword instead of following him. So basically the "useless" sword which he does not use is the big one.
