SHEN REWORK!! (VALID PROOF)

WildBuffalo·Dec 27, 2015·20 votes·7,714 views

On the official league of legends "Zed" champion page http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/zed/ there is a moving champion picture as long as a short scene which reveals what looks like zed dying. I believe that Riot is going to be doing something similar to what they did with Gangplank in which they unveiled an event and killed Gangplank off and Reworked him (along with releasing multiple other skins for champions). Zed is a known Rival to Shen in the league lore. Prediction: They kill zed off and disable him for a certain time, shen gets his rework, skins come out for the new assassin item patch, zed comes back with an ultimate skin!!! Let me know what you guys think!!!!

Maybe Shen finds an old practice like Zed does but it isn't a forbidden art. Then Shen and Zed have a final battle. Who will win? Who will lose? Find out next time on Ionia Z!

Ah, the ancient ninja art of "Flower Power".

I just imagine Shen throwing little seeds at people that explode into flowers.

"FORBIDDEN ART THIS, YOU FOOL"

That or Shen gets wise and plays dirty like Zed, which catches Zed completely off guard, allowing Shen to come out the victor. Boom, canonical validation for a potentially badass Shen rework.

Its a bullet that kills zed

Death by GlamourDec 27, 20156 votes

Made me think of cherry blossom or perhaps lotus flower petals.

Will be interesting to see if kennen akali or syndra feature in this aswell. They are allies or rivals of the two

WildBuffaloDec 27, 20153 votes

I cant wait to find out! they are definitely planning something!

Death by GlamourDec 27, 20155 votes

Hopefully an event which features all the ionian champions (some karma and varus please) and not just shen vs zed.

We will find out soon enough

Toru ItaiDec 27, 20154 votes

Varus PLEASE!

It would also be fun to know why Lee Sin gets Energy when he isn't a ninja, he's a blind monk.

Monks practice martial arts just as ninja do. mainly for self defense.

You clearly don't know what "valid proof" means. Sorry to ruin the hype, but this is just a speculation. For more information on the matter, I would suggest you to visit Surrender@20's page (http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/12/mysterious-teaser.html). It shows that there are references for similar upcoming teasers for Vi, Sona, and Garen. Many have speculated that DeadEye is a new champion, a marksman, probably named Jhin (name that appears in the files) because we can hear a gun shot in Zed's teaser (which has nothing to do with Shen's identity). On top of that, Zed is a mid assassin, Sona a support mage, Garen a top juggernaut, Vi a jungle fighter: do you notice what's missing?

PeachyBubbleStarDec 27, 20153 votes

imo, i think it will be a new champion, we don't really have a champion who has a bunch of Lotus/Cherry Blossom petals for anything... so, Fingers crossed![slayer-jinx-catface]

Question: do you realize this exists? We know Shen is being reworked already... It isn't news. But I appreciate your enthusiasm.

Pretty sure they also said Taric's rework will be the next one and then Shen is sometime after that.

CatastropDec 27, 20152 votes

Shen then Taric. https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/202294884-Champion-Update-Schedule

Count ZubatDec 27, 20153 votes

Then Taric is gonna kill Zed. Case closed.

CatSithDec 27, 20151 votes

Nope, shen is gonna get his update before taric. Since Tarics is a huge update like poppy's.

Edited-

Laggiest MedicDec 27, 20151 votes

i think its supposed to be a bit smaller actually

CatSithDec 27, 20151 votes

I meant Tarics update is gonna be huge xD.

UB3R 1337 H4XDec 27, 20151 votes

That is not the only huge thing Taric has... Get it? cause he has a big... Hammer.

I'll wait for you, Taric... Taric item 3073 item 3070

Mecha MaIphiteDec 27, 20152 votes

im pretty sure most of the community will be more excited at the prospect of zed getting disabled

Eunbi BiasDec 27, 20151 votes

I don't get the petals...and the Zed Splash there looks weird too. A few things on the lower right that I don't remember being there. See the Invalid Source thing? Right Click it. Blue Arrow Thing

The flower petals are simply an artistic representation of brain matter being pushed through Zed's helmet, signifying his death.

yeah so why is there also a branch coming out of his neck as well?

It also looks like Zed is partially decapitated. "It's only a flesh wound!"

A LiberalDec 27, 20151 votes

Why would shen also kill sona, garen, and vi?

WildBuffaloDec 27, 20151 votes

i don't know where you got that from.

kaltenashesDec 27, 20152 votes

so 2 possible outcomes related to DeadEye and Jhin

jhin- the deadeye is jinx sister, her appearance is a bit like vel'koz, but with cowboy outfit and a 6-bullet revolver (yeah she/it shoots like graves)

or maybe

deadeye-the jhin is some kind of genie with a deadeye that sees the future

course i'm right... nah i'm not

plauge incDec 27, 20151 votes

we allready got somekind of a genie, Malzahar XD

kaltenashesDec 28, 20152 votes

what kind of genie gives aids???

charcharmunroDec 27, 20152 votes

...Well, think about it. Shen's about preserving the balance. Garen is Lawful Good as fuck, Vi is Chaotic Good as all hell and Sona... Uhm... Hm. Okay that worked until Sona was a thing.

Livin like RivenDec 27, 20151 votes

If you take a closer look at the artwork, you'll notice that the branches aren't originating only from his eyes. but also from his torso. Sakura leaves could symbolize being "reborn", and add to that that the shadows are backing/clearing away from the branches, I think whatever this is, it has to do something with Zed getting purified.

yaèsDec 27, 20151 votes

Maybe Zed leaves his dark side and becomes a sign of purity, meaning that he is no longer the master of shadows.

SpongebobIsLifeDec 27, 20151 votes

which would make me think that it'd be an ultimate skin

plauge incDec 27, 20151 votes

i dont think zed is getting a ultimate skin, he just got a project skin^^

SpongebobIsLifeDec 27, 20151 votes

well I'm not sure if he is or isn't, it could just be a 1350 skin, but I will say this. If it will make a large amount of money, riot will put it out no matter the previous skins made for the champion.

ßerserkerDec 28, 20151 votes

Look you could play all champions tank so can you make Shen like fighter or assassin if you see zed vs Shen zed will surely win in game so I dont say you should nerf zed (I like playing him) i say that you should make Shen more balanced fighter or assassin that can play on top or mid.Becuse he is flippin ninja not tank when did you see ninja taking lots of damage, thats right you didnt ,so thats the concept maybe invisibilty Becuse of his qoute "if lightnig travel so fast how come it didnt caught ninja" idk tell me what do you think?

CptCeliacoDec 29, 20151 votes

WHY SHOULD ZED DIE?!{ Zed item 3070

Luckyghost91Dec 30, 20151 votes

If anything it's a skin teaser in my opinion, maybe Shen is just getting a new skin for once and this is how they are making it out to hype it up, but who knows they have pushed champion after champion out this year maybe they will actually give us someone who can break illaoi's teeth in with out having the ability to wreck and entire team in one team fight.

SincarnationDec 30, 20151 votes

Highly doubt it, but Shen keeps balance.

Killing Zed - Appears to be extremely evil, Plausible Killing Sona - Extremely good? Maybe? Killing Garen - Extremely Lawful Zealot, Plausible Killing Vi - Extremely Chaotic, Kinda Plausible?

Seems a little off though to me
