So, is no one else upset that Shen is only getting a gameplay update?

Not sure if any Rioters have come out talking about this but it's kind of a kick to the nuts for me. Hearing that several of my favorite champions were getting reworked awhile back was good and I've liked them all. The Sion rework turned someone I hated into a loved champion. Technically speaking I think part of it's job as a rework is meant to keep me hating him but ignoring that for now.

I wont go as far as saying Shen is in a dangerous need of a visual update it's just weird knowing that no one at Riot thinks he's perfectly fine when it comes to looks Well, that's unfair, maybe a few do but it clearly isn't something that is being done so from the consumer perspective it doesn't seem like anyone there is out for a better looking Shen.

Apparently his models current appearance is acceptable which I disagree with and was eagerly waiting a VU.

Not going to lie it was kind of soul crushing not seeing his VU in line. I've already slowed done my league play immensely because of how long it takes for updates to come out. This just hurts so much more knowing that waiting all this time for a Shen update just to discover the VU isn't going to be apart of it.

Other times it can be understandable but with Shen it kind of falls under "Why not give him a new model while you're here." Instead of bouncing him back into the cycle just to be updated in about a year or two why not now? Considering how out of the blue the Fiora rework was I wouldn't be surprised if somethings were really "hush hush" back at Riot about major details of Shen's' and other champions future but for now it just hurts.

There's nothing really else to say besides,

Can we please get a visual update for Shen?

Talks of a fiora update, including al sorts of possible kits, were around for over a year. The fact that she even got a VU came as a shock, and I'm one of the very few who seem to be vocal about liking the VU.

In any event, there's no guarantee that shen or anyone else won't get at least a touch up.

Then again fiora was a full relaunch so your mileage may vary.

Riot said he is getting a VU on the scale of Alistar's with his rework. Don't expect him to look too different and more like his splash art.

Shen is a getting an alistar update.

The thread that Meddler posted it in though doesn't seem to be working though, at least for me.

EDIT: Here's the quote, if the thread isn't opening for anyone else.

I thought I read somewhere he would probably get a "light" vu.
