@Meddler, about those Shen and Aatrox reworks...

Are we getting new animations and effects or just minor ability changes? Because I would like to go from looking like this: http://img.mod-minecraft.net/Skin/Shen-league-of-legends-skin.png (Sorry, I couldn't find a 3D model of Shen online, and I don't see the option to submit media here.)

Maybe to look more like his splash art: http://40.media.tumblr.com/0397598a8f9a9c56691dcea902b392e5/tumblr_ndfv5fjTne1svh1hao4_400.jpg

As for , I would like to know what kind of changes you're making, and what kind of change constitutes your plans for him.

For all those who are just passing by, I would greatly appreciate it if you could upvote this. It'd make the chances that Riot sees this higher.

In here I'm still waiting for Poppy since 2012

Please rework Poppy as soon as possible. People are starting to learn to abuse Titanic Hydra and Sterak's Gage with her Q, converting all the damage to magic and boosting Trinity Force damage.

I need to try that. item 3751 Poppy

She's getting the mega rework at least. I have no clue what they're doing with my two mains.

I wouldn't expect Aatrox changes too soon in terms of model animation voice or anything else. They might do a slight reword on a single ability or tweak the numbers but don't expect much else since well he is fairly new.

As for shen, I would expect changes Alistair style, you will see the difference but it will be considered as a band aid.

Poppy rework is fairly big (probably sions big) she is one of teh oldest champions thou and she has been on queue for rework since 2012, they already said that the ult is leaving and the ability that is staying mostly the same will be her E (charge) the Q will be tweaked and no news about her W so I'm guessing it will be removed as well.

Taric is also on the same list so is going to be a long wait.

Well, if they're changing abilities, they'd have to add animations and effects if they're radically different.

As for Shen, they said he's getting a rework. If it's Fiora level, I would be happy as long as they keep his identity. If not, I guess making his gameplay more fun would do him justice.

Poppy and Taric are coming, no doubt. It's just a matter of waiting.

I just want to know exactly what Riot is planning, and what happened to that Shen rework Meddler promised us.

I know a few reworked got scartched and a few of the employees went to work on fiora instead. I can't remeber which ones exactly got scratched besides Yorick's

Yorick got iceboxed, not scratched. He is now being worked on again. So, what exactly they are doing...

Shen: They basically just want him to be more Ninja. Right now, he doesn't feel ninja enough to them, so they will be changing his abilities. They said his E and R are likely to stay, but anything else is up for changes. I think they will most likely change his passive and W the most.

Aatrox: Moving him more towards an aggressive Support/Fighter hybrid I think. Like giving his allies (and himself?) big offensive boosts to turn the tides of a fight. More like a Blood General and less like a Lifesteal Duelist.

The Shen Rework and many others, by the way, are likely to come during Preseason 6 while they have time to make lots of big changes. So once Worlds ends/5.20 starts, expect them then.

shen doesn't need to look edgy, please and ty.

I mean, it'd be a nice touch if he looked as awesome as he did in his splash art. Unless you like Styrofoam armor Shen. The visuals could use a Kassadin-like update. At least some gleam and sheen on his armor would be a really nice touch.
