Shen Shadow Dashes over to Live

Riot·Jan 22, 2016·7 votes·53,258 views

Shen’s restored balance to both his new kit AND the equilibrium, and is ready to taunt his way through enemy teams on live. We’ve updated the big guy with a new passive, Q, and W, while keeping his iconic Shadow Dash and Stand United largely the same. Read through Shen’s PBE article for the full story, or scroll down for a glimpse at his updated model in action!

We’re bundling Shen with all of his skins and reducing the price to celebrate his update! His Shensational bundle runs up at 3958 RP (25% off), lasts through 23:59 February 1 and includes the following:

Shen
Frozen Shen (Legacy)
Yellow Jacket Shen (Legacy)
Surgeon Shen
Blood Moon Shen
Warlord Shen
TPA Shen (Legacy)

We’re also opening up the legacy vault and sending TPA Shen (750 RP), Frozen Shen (520 RP) and Yellow Jacket Shen (520 RP) back to the store until his bundle expires!

Ready to hit the Rift with Shen’s update? Let us know in the comments below!

This joke is sorta Draven me crazy, but I'm sure Ill get used to it Sona or later. Maybe if you guys LeeSin to my posts more you will hear more of my Talon ted jokes. For my comment about this rework, this might cause Shen anigans.

item 3070 Taric

Runitup1Jan 28, 201612 votes

It's truly outrageous that this hasn't happened yet. I hope they keep the general kit of my Taric mostly the same though. As one of the few Taric mains in existence, it'd ~~break~~ Shatter my heart if he was thrown into some other role.

OG QuazeJan 28, 20167 votes

I felt the exact way when they were planning to change Poppy kit. I had over an 80% win rate with her before and now I have about a 30% even though the general response was positive to this change I miss my old Poppy item 3070

i miss my old poopy... itll just never be the same. Shes all new and shiny now, i hate it. RIP old poopy D:

Are you just that one guy who thought AD sion was better than AP.

CryonicityJan 28, 20166 votes

they already announed what they were changing. about it, keeping stin and heal thats it. making ult more impactful ect

orangepuffityJan 29, 20162 votes

Fellow Taric main here. I share your pain.

Although: if you can counterpick it right, Taric top can get OP.

Cruel TamusJan 28, 201611 votes

give him some heal back to his q... that's the whole reason shen was so great

The MosquitoJan 28, 20168 votes

"Ready to hit the Rift with Shen’s update?" no, im ready to ban him. item 3133

ModJikkerJan 28, 20162 votes

Which ban are you replacing him with? DrMundo ? Jax ? TahmKench ? Rengar ? ? Soraka ? Illaoi ? Graves ? ....

There's too many of them!

xLa Leyenda 27xJan 28, 20162 votes

soraka isn't even that bad

ModJikkerJan 28, 20166 votes

She's still a highly banned champion because of her mass healing and being one of the few champs that still has a silence. I've singlehandedly turned around teamfights just by silencing the enemy at a critical moment or healing my teammates massively mid fight. If played right, albeit a bit harder now with range nerfs, she can still be a pain in lane simply because she can negate all your poke/trade damage then heal up the cost with a well placed Q.

Regardless, the point stands. And I even forgot Fiora who is another top ban so I can still make it 8 "must bans"....oh wait, there's also Lux technically although most people don't know about her yet....eugh

ZBroYoJan 29, 20163 votes

I've seen some Raka's go full health support soo I was Sion, mid fight while I'm tanking EVERYTHING with 5k health she would simply come up to me and heal me up to full in seconds and then her warmog would heal her up instantly and allow for more team healing, it was amazing.

SniighterJan 28, 20168 votes

I shall miss the old shen, no more pokes and heals. item 3070

we just need Yorick Taric Galio and a visual update on Warwick

GunpointJan 28, 20169 votes

I'd say Warwick needs a gameplay overhaul as well.

RyucopaseticJan 29, 20162 votes

Definitely. I'd like to see a blood trail from damaged enemies that WW could follow, giving him a speed boost IF he followed it.

omegamango90Jan 28, 20163 votes

wait yorick and taric are next on the list actualy

Cad ElJan 28, 20164 votes

Taric, Yorick, Swain, Amumu... how about a rework on those champs as well??

lightdragoon88Jan 28, 20163 votes

Taric is confirmed to be released this year and they just announced Yorick is next on their rework list after the mage mini-update.

shiFFmerJan 28, 20162 votes

Amumu and Swain dont need reworks...Yorick is a very touchy case, im sure they will but later when they know what they can and cant keep to make Yorick still Yorick

Kappa BillyJan 28, 20164 votes

Thanks for making the Legacy Skins a separate option. Hoorah!

WHAT THE FUCK RIOT? What's the point in having LEGACY SKINS if you just bring them back so everyone can get them???

Final Raid BossJan 28, 201616 votes

relax scrub, do you not understand they gave him a mini rework? just because they're legacy doesn't mean they can't come back

JainaProudgurlJan 29, 20163 votes

You obviously have not read how things work with skins. Theres 3 types of skins: Normal, Legacy, and Vault. Normal skins you can buy at any given time no matter the occasion. Legacy skins are skins that are sold on given occasions. Vault skins however are skins that no one can ever buy anymore, and are a one time thing. Over the years however, they have said that they're gonna pull some skins from the vault however. My point is, LEGACY skins can be sold at any time Riot feels like it, not at your convenience :P

StexeJan 29, 20164 votes

Wrong. There are Normal, Legacy, and Limited Edition. "Legacy" is for vault. They have been converting a lot of the Limited Edition skins to Legacy and giving refunds when they do that. It is kind of a slap in the face to people who bought those skins (like me, who owns every original LE skin) but Riot does it anyway.

EcchiOtakuTMJan 28, 20163 votes

He needs:

Additionally W to move the sword outside a 200 units near but up to 800 units away from shen
Additionally Q to deal a low amount (40/80/120/160/200 base damage) (No scaling) on passthrough damage to units.

Aside from that it's an alright rework enjoying it.

AskelladdFeb 1, 20163 votes

I've played the new Shen. He is way weaker than the old Shen. Give me back Vorpal. I hope whoever removed it gets hit by a vorpal blade.

SonspotFeb 2, 20163 votes

Me: K thx for the Shen rework but when is taric gonna get one? Riot: Uhmmm...Soon™ Me: What about Yorick? Riot: What's a yorick?

Riot pls

RebellionsJan 30, 20162 votes

I had my doubts, I was a fool I have loved shen for 2 years now, his rework... Its fucking amazing gj Riot! Only 2 complaints

his q needs either some passthrough damage or at least some more immediate clarity on whats happening when it goes through a champion
I want his shadow dash's damage reduction back in some form at least, taunting people before I have tank items now hurts if I don't have W up, which has far too brutal a cooldown to be able to effectively do what shen does. So either restore the damage reduction or make W's cooldown lower, maybe have it's cooldown come off faster the longer shen autos his targets like the way ki strike used to come up faster if you hit people while feint was active.

I'M READY FOR SOME ULTRA RAPID FIRE MODE!!!!

RyannihilatorFeb 3, 20162 votes

This Shen is so stupid now. summoner 14 and Teemo basically don't work on him anymore. Riot change him back he's so stupid now and you guys were claiming you were balancing him?!? He's not op, but he has no burst and no safe way of farming or harassing so its pretty a pretty terrible rework. So change him back you ruined one of my favorite champs.
