Shen's the perfect example of lemons and lemonade

For Carthage··115 votes·4,802 views

Shen's a terrible ninja. Shen knows this. He can't sneak for shit.

So Shen's like, "What the hell should I do? I suck."

Answer: he uses his absolute lack of any kind of stealth whatsoever to taunt the shit out of people and do an entirely different job ten times better.

That's how you take lemons and make lemonade out of them.

Let's be honest, that'd taunt at least 1/100th of the entire League Community, if not to kill him then to chain him down and make him spill the beans to the location of said Erotic Sona Photos.

Dude you mean 2/3 of the League community.

I don't meant to group that many people due to different genders, gender identities and sexualities (not to mention different ideals of Beauty, what's beautiful to me may seem meh or ugly to someone else) but still, an extremely large number, definitely in the Millions, would kill/torture Shen for this information. It's no wonder his Taunts are so effective.

A couple years ago, Riot released a some user data that said that 90% of the playerbase was male. A survey in 2011 found that about 4% of Americans identify as gay (this is the largest percentage of reseached countries). That ends up with an extremely small estimate of 27.5 million people attracted to women at the time of this released data. Most people attracted to women find Sona in some way attractive (I did some surveying myself. Now my Skype friends are confused as hell). So my estimate probably isn't that far off.

Well that was, indeed, 'a couple of years ago' but 1/100 was definitely far too conservative. Dunno why, something just felt off about 1/10... maybe because it was still too low if anything.

TurquoiseYoshi1 votes

I doubt that the percentage of people that are male playing League would have changed that much over time. In any case, we can assume that the amount of people hunting down Shen for the Sona nudes would be exactly a metric poopton.

Crowe Stalker1 votes

I think the Metric system does not have an accurate or existing measurement for how many people would fall for the Taunt (myself included)

The thing is, we all know the pictures are going onto the internet afterwards.

If Patreon is any example that really won't be the case :| I can dream though...

We're talking about Sona, not Draven. . . . or Reksai.

Shen is Secretly Cave Johnson. He doesn't make lemonade, he makes Lemon-'Nades!

The thing is though, that within certain clans of ninjas, any squad of the would have one individual who's job it was to be distracting as possible and draw all the attention so the others could do their jobs. Shen fits that perfectly.

Kennen's pretty bad at stealth too. Same with Zed. Akali is literally the only stealthy ninja.

Sure Zed can jump around in the shadows, but that's not really stealth. That's teleportation.

Cats are actually 3 Ninjas in a tiny fuzzy coat

Sire Hippington5 votes

now ult that ulted rangar and you got yourself the sneakiest taunting nija ever. And cats>ninja in terms of stealth-predatores. They are the sneakiest beasts known to mankind(besides the sock-eater, no-one has ever seen one, but he surely does exist, he probably is a relative of cats...or cats are secretly eating our socks o.O)

Plot Twist: Shen is actually two ninjas, which is why the law of conservation of ninjas does not apply.

The only thing Ninja about Shen is his uniform.

Shen is an awesome ninja. He distracts everyone else so that the actual ninjas can do work.

shen's walk is stupid

You cant fault shen for that, afterall his father was a sadomasochist exhibitionist who forced shen to watch as he got defiled.

He can stealth. There's no one to see you if there's no one to see you.

fantastic dud1 votes

did u know that shen and akali are the only two ninja that their q isnt a projectile wich makes sound on impact, and that is a now what of the defining factors of ninjas. And shen is the only one that relies on his auto attacks more than the others. But anyways he might get a rework soon.

Auryiel1 votes

Wow

I'm dying XD

The Loveless1 votes

inb4 he's reworked into an assassin

we could use a real MK ninja type

The Ecdysiast1 votes

It's more of a lame excuse to put a tank into a band of assassins.

Psychoneirik1 votes

nononono, you don't get it. While ulting he doesn't teleport, he just leaves a decoy that looks like himself channeling, then he stealths and runs very fast towards his ally. In fact, he is so good at stealth that not even your own team can see him while he does this.
