What is the scoop on shen? Is he in line to get a new skin this year? Or does he have to wait after some update like taric?

Please answer me :'( the other rioters wont (T^T)

Hey ExecutorDill,

Unfortunately, we don't discuss what may or may not be in development in terms of skins (and similar content). Shen is not currently listed on the Champion Update Schedule.

Atleast you acknowledged my post, it feels like Rioters shy away from Shen discussions so I refrained from putting his name in the title :/

So why did RiotScruffy say so?

Shen is definitely not a full reboot like sion. There are some core abilities and things that he does that are really unique and we want to support:

-Split push join team with ult, awesome and unique for team strategies

-Ninja tank! Even though this isn't the first thing you think of when you look at a martial fighter like shen, it allows him to differentiate himself in both how he is durable (possibly more dodging/blocking than pure meatshield) and how he targets and disables his opponents.

-Shadow dash is a pretty cool high moment, want to build up and around this rather than scrap.

Some of the things that we think can be improved:

-His laning and play pattern can be made more interesting and interactive for both shen and his opponent. We know that we can do better with top lane gameplay than marking your enemy and trading autos with them. His current pattern leads to a "stat check" win loss condition more than we would like.

-Overall we can deliver a more clear and satisfying kit for him that focuses his power into more discrete moments that fit shen's character

This is just my very rough thoughts, but hopefully it makes sense and doesn't seem totally off base.
