Any plans to roll back Shen?

I miss playing the old Shen when he was throwing knives with his Q and autoing with that passive. Isn't the Shen remake basically a failure? He is basically a dead champion in Solo Queue and he rarely even comes out in the pro scenes. I really miss playing the old Shen.

I wanna play old shen with summon aery and scorch and just poke out my laner. It would be fun and nice for a revert but I heard riot deletes all the old code for reworked stuff

But they reverted Kogmaw, Leblanc, Rengar and reverted Zac ultimate.

Reverted? Or Recoded?

It is possible to recreate old coding and even add unto it.

Though I have no clue if they actually throw away old codes like the other person stated. Seems like a bad business decision to just toss something away...it "could" be added to a new champion or something ya know?

It would be awesome if Riot revert Shen passive, Q, and E and keep the current W.

Ive said it multiple times.. might as well say it again. Doing reworks of champions is a waste of resources, and inevitably angers part of the player base. If they want to make a completely different champion, then make a completely different champion and leave the old champion in the game. They may not be meta, and 99% of the player base may not like them or understand their kit, but every champion has players that love how they play. When you delete a champ and replace them, you are basically throwing away all the work you already did on that champion, and pissing off that champs player base.

For me, it was Karma. I loved the old Karma even though she didnt fit the meta. Ive talked to people who feel the same way about Nunu, and Twitch, and Shen, and Sion.. and others. It sucks. Riot doesnt seem interested in fixing it though. I stopped complaining a long time ago. Pissing in the wind.

Wouldnt call it a failed rework big time failed reworks right now are:Akali,Irelia,Aatrox,Galio and the Morde rework before this one. And all of the 4 big tank reworks.

Oh it was half baked at best. The spirit sword is a shitty gimmick. Shen still has the same 50 seconds of voice over. The only good thing that came out of his rework is his W and the fact that he no longer walks like he has a stick up his ass.
