Shen Shadow Dashes over to Live

Riot·1/22/2016, 10:32:59 PM·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!

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.

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

EcchiOtakuTM1/28/2016, 10:50:56 PM3 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.

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

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.

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.
