how about instead of trying to make shen a tank

we make him an actual assassin, or at least a bruiser?

it makes ZERO sense for a ninja to be leading the pack and taking all of the aggression. ZERO

you can make shen an assassin and still differentiate him from zed. but holy shit riot you guys are obviously retarded in the way you've been handling shen up until now.

just make it right, and make his role/abilities thematically fit with that of a NINJA

and it makes absolutely no fucking sense. the only thing good about shen's kit EVER was the fact that he could save lanes with his teleport+e. and it makes no fucking sense at all for a ninja. why would a ninja taunt a guy into attacking him? ninjas kill from stealth in the fastest most efficient way possible. shen takes 20 fucking minutes to kill anyone and everyone(that was hyperbole in case you decide to take that seriously).

Shen has always been a tank. Its a thing about the character now; Shen players have come to expect tankiness, and taking it away from him would anger more people than it relieved.

I hope you know that ninjas are not particularly assassins all the time. They are more spies and bodyguards, collecting intelligence(killing some people here and there) and guarding important figures. the bodyguard part is what Shen is. Your argument is filled with prejudice and ignores important details of what a ninja is.

Are you a ninja or are you assuming all ninja's historically were exactly like how Hollywood portrays them?

now please tell me where anywhere in that article you can see similarities with shen's playstyle

oh about.com. It is on the internet. Thus it must be true. Technically there aren't any similarities between Zed and ninja's either. Since Zed is in lane, and you know he's coming most of the time. Plus, usually ninja's would poison their opponents. Kill them in their sleep. Kill them at night. Kill them from afar (not melee). So Zed is a poor example as well. There aren't really ninja's in League.

wikipedia can be changed by just about anyone. That's why it's not used as a good credible source.

get the fuck out of my thread, you disgusting uncultured swine.

NaCl much? Calm down, no need to get mad at someone on the internet.

  1. You have no power here. The moment you made this thread it belonged to the Boards.
  2. Yes wikipedia has good information. It also has wrong information, or information that is so vague that it is unusable as a legitimate source. What he did is less about the source and more about the validity of information.

The reason he wrote his post the way he did is because you clearly did a web search, found one source that agreed with you, and posted it here. You made no attempt to check for validity before hand. You are the uncultured one here, not him, and people like you are the reason wikipedia and about.com are not valid sources.

Yeah lets just remove what a champion was designed to be and make him another Ninja Assassin that we already have (Akali Zed )

Leave Shen the way he his. We don't need anymore Edgy ninja characters. Shen is fine story and kit wise (Thats up for debate, I like the kit though.) and only really needs some buffs.

Even though this is obviously a bait thread.

You name is "LeMemeBoy" so yeah im really not going to take you seriously in this case, and your suggesting one of the most ludicrous changes possible. That's like saying "Kayle is an angel, and angels don't fight, so Kayle should be change to be a support healer". It's just stupid.

Angels do fight, look at St Michel in Maria the Virgin Witch. Js.

Shen has always been a tank and nothing short of a Sion level VGU is going to change that. He's one of the most well known tanks in the game.

To turn him into an assassin would take away a very unique tank.
