TIL shen's sword is minions, and I lost a game because of it.

fuckn' hell I just played against a shen and I'd dodge his taunt just fine but then I'd be stuck rubber banding around his sword whenever I tried to walk while he and the adc just wailed on me. why is his sword physical? that sounds like a bad thing for everyone as just another thing to walk around in lane.

seems like the easiest solution is to remove the stupid gimmicky spirit sword and just revert the rework

Or... just fix the bug.

How is reverting easier?

That shouldn't be the case. That sounds like a bug, since Shen's sword is not supposed to obstruct movement. Send a ticket to Riot and report the incident.

I'll see if I can contact a Rioter to get to the bottom of this.

if I remember right it may not have been solid itself, but the pathing certainly treated it as solid because I'd click once to run away and jinx would run back and forth and back and forth and back and forth before finally getting free of it.

I don't know I had heal at the time and he was an enemy shen.

His sword is an object? i walk through it all the time, but I'm salty that Yasuo's windwall blocks it from moving so I don't get my 3 empowered AA

oh my god that would make me so salty when I play shen.

u guys cant dodge shen blade because u just want that minions booty and not care for shen to pull his sword towards you. pretty strange isn't it? shen can be dodged if u were smart and know how to dodge

I'd imagine it's coded that way because it needs collision detection when determining whether it's gone through a champion or hasn't. It shouldn't be obstructing your movement though, so I'd take Melledoneus' advice on this one and just ask Rito about it.
