I really belive that shen needs a VU, he looks bad and his skill animations are horrible , ofc some of you might say that warlord shen looks decent well it looks decent but im talking now about the champion himself if you compare him to zed even with that skin ofc zed looks much much better and i really belive shen should get his Q and W reworked too and his energy bar because his skills have too high energy costs you can barelly cast them once in a team fight or duel and when you do they dont make much of a difference because at higher levels Q wont deal much damage and W will barelly block 2 normal attacks from an enemy champion anway i got some shen art here maybe this will ispire devs xD , ive been trying to get this to you guys since the guys from riot support sugested me that i should post this on boards even they said that if shen would look at least close to what ive shown you he would be the best looking champion in league,i just hope this wont be ignored because this vision of shen or model (however you call it its just to epic to be ignored )

Some of you might say "wow this isnt representing shen ,shen is a good guy " or something but if he looks a bit evil doesnt mean you gotta change who he is or his lore ,whatever i think his armor makes more sense now because hes tank he needs some metal on him ,specially with those gloves wich make more sense using feint and whatever shen is a ninja and i think in this art he looks a lot more as one than on riot`s

Shen definitely needs a VU. He looks like he doesn't even belong with the current champions. He's a ninja, but he doesn't look fearsome at all right now.

I would like to point out that Shen can be armoured and still look like a Ninja.

That's Hattori Hanzo, you know, the really famous Ninja? His day job was Samurai Warlord. so.... yeah

Shen doesn't need a new full relaunch. He could use a visual update but definitely not the one you came up with. They look more like zed. It is too sinister to be shen. Don't take it the wrong way. Those designs are sick, but shen is a good guy.

Yes pleeeeasse, but he most def needs a skill rework first before the VU. The hooded one is just too badass, that needs to be a skin

I love that Zed helmet on that Shen illustration, which gives me an idea. How about we add a buff that's kinda like 'The Hunt is On!' buff, except it's between Zed and Shen. After Zed kills Shen, he gains a Shen's Mask item. If Shen kills Zed, then Shen gains Zed's Mask item.

No. There are champions who need VU MUCH more.

anway i got some shen art here maybe this will ispire devs xD

I'm pretty sure they're aware of that because they STARTED this contest

Omg...That would be the tits. OP, I'm having one problem with it though. I threw all of my money at my screen, and my Shen still looks like crap :c. It needs to look like this ASA-Immediately.

hes need a vu for sure but i think a rework is more of a priority maybe something alone the lines of the sion remake released

Here's the main problem: How do you make a character look like a ninja and a tank at the same time? Tanky champions are usually big and bulky to signify that they can take punishment, but a ninja is quick and agile and doesn't want to be weighed down with a lot of armor. They contradict each other; Unless you want to make a dodge tank, which probably wouldn't be healthy for the game.

I remember one of the Rioters on the art team talking about how Shen wouldn't have been made today. He said (paraphrasing) that marrying the concepts of a "tank" and "ninja" would be problematic. I assume that same reason is why Shen hasn't gotten a visual update, they have no idea how to do it.

Poor guy could use one. In fact, the entire ninja trio could use one.

Zed's head suits him so good on that splash!

SEKAI3/21/2015, 1:09:03 PM3 votes

If you give Shen capes AND buffs, guess what, his perma ban would come around again.

One step at a time.

But that cape in the pic one is sweet as hell, I would want that gladly.

wow this is representative of shen, he's a twilight ninja.

in all seriousness though i'm actually not being sarcastic.

Ironhand3/21/2015, 4:03:11 PM2 votes

He does need a rework too, as when he ults an ally, the enemies just run away. And he does no dmg and is pretty useless in soloQ and even ranked 5's

Zydron3/21/2015, 5:02:46 PM2 votes

He should get a rework imo, his kit doesn't really fit thematically with the whole "ninja" thing, in what world is a ninja tanky?

Snarflaz3/21/2015, 8:36:11 PM2 votes

Shen needs a in game VU. I mean his Vorpal blade animation is a spinning blade coming at you. That to me looks kind of lame. Sometimes i can't even see if he threw it or not. Also his Shadow dash looks weird. What the heck is that aura when he uses shadow dash? The aura looks sort of glitchy too.

Ok now that is sooo cool but I think shen definitely needs VU, but I don't think this is the right look especially the cape on, but if they released an entirely different VU and made a new champion maybe they should use this skin for a new assassin. I think riot should definitely keep this skin in mind. Great job on the concept.Zed

Shen and Jax need VU they are the forgotten from riot since 5 or 4 years.
