So Riot about this Shen Rework.....

  1. Are we going to see a actual ninja shen, one who is a assassin powerful enough to defeat Zed as Lore Applies?

  2. Are we going to see Ninja-Shen? Or Tanky Shen?

  3. Will a event like Kha'zix and Rengar exist between Shen and Zed for lore and game purposes?

  4. Will we get to see a neat cinimatic where Shen and Zed duel it out? :)

Shen will still be tanky, however Riot has said they want to move his tankiness less from shields and absorbing everything through his face and more evading/dodging the damage. His playstyle shouldn't be changing too drastically and he will still be a tank, just more of a ninja tank.

They said that they were reworking him into a tank centered around evasion rather than damage absorption.

For number 2, I think they said they would keep him a tank, but make him more like a ninja, like have his taunt create a clone that enemies would attack instead of hitting him.

I always thought he should be more like a fighter. I mean him and Zed trained in the same school why would they be so dramatically different in fighting styles and abilities. I know Zed accessed forbidden techniques so that's okay for his shadows and such but Shen would/should still have very ninja like abilities. The evasion this is okay but still I always pictured him more as a fighter than a tank. At least lore wise I believe he should be but we will see I guess.
