Shen VS Zed!

Shengu··9 votes·8,903 views

Saw a post on this by VoidKarma where people had a fantastic attitude about our favorite ninjas - Zed with a 13-14% pick rate (blitz.gg) mid being very meta right now while taking much skill and Shen, who has just gotten a buff that now allows him to lane, and is back to being a viable pick.

Of course I am bias, having Shen be my main, and looking at VoidKarma's account, you can see that he is a Zed main. Maybe in the future we can see this, I know 2 of us out here would love it :)

Yes, Shen and Zed are admittedly an iconic rivalry in League of Legends and it might be fun to see them battle.

But like Hikari Sakata pointed out in VoidKarmas thread, the VS event would be extremely onesided. Zed is incredibly more popular than Shen, there is no doubt that he would win the event by a landslide. And while this rivalry is iconic, there are tons of other rivalries in the game which are also just as iconic:

Viktor VS Jayce Caitlyn / Vi VS Jinx Rengar VS Khazix Diana VS Leona (they are not really rivals anymore, but the community wants it) Ornn VS Volibear Hecarim VS Kalista Lucian VS Thresh Renekton VS Nasus Morgana VS Kayle Warwick VS Singed Irelia / Urgot VS Swain Zac VS Twitch Sejuani VS Ashe VS Lissandra Azir VS Xerath

And there are probably more, these are just the pairings which came to my mind immediately.

That's why, as a Shen main, I'm against a VS event featuring those two. As cool as it sounds on paper, Shen does not have a single chance to win against Zed. I would rather have a legendary Shen skin on its own.

It's actually really weird that the Morgana and Kayle reworks didn't come with a VS event

Tbh, I would have thought that it's really bullshit if Kayle and Morgana both would have got a legendary skin with the release of their reworks, while other champions had to wait more than 1 year to get a mediocre skin after their rework, even if they had been neglected for years before they had their rework: Yorick Urgot

No champ has gotten a skin when they got reworked. The usually get one around 7 months later

Swain Also you just said that it was weird we didn't get a VS event with the release of Kayle and Morgana, which means they would have got a skin then, which I just said I would have considered this bullshit....

You got that wrong. The only VS event which would make sense for Kled would be:

this would be kinda hard considering they removed shen in 2016.

To Riot, Shen doesn't exist. Not like he's cooler than Zed or anything.

Shen is a wasted pick

Shen is a wasted pick

Well, seeing as my winrate is 64% in season 2019 with him, i beg to differ! he carrys games like no other, well except for Galio , but he isnt as great i dont think!

now looking through your match history...

  • No ranked games (2019)
  • youre a Morgana 1trick, who at level 92 takes TP+Heal
  • when your pick is taken/(banned?) you play MissFortune
  • have a < 45% win rate in an average elo of -Unranked

so, friend, before flaming my champion of choice, id re-evaluate yours. You have the best of luck, and i hope whatever bot took over your account gives it back soon.

Hadent looked here for 11 days, i just think tryna insult anyone when you play like you do isnt that smart

As much as I would like to see such VS events, the edgiest side and/or the side concerning the champ with the biggest fanbase is almost guaranteed to win. I already hate the game enough when Zed is picked way too often, I wouldn't particularly like an event encouraging his pickrate to rise just for an event with an outcome who'll most probably be in his favor.

I main shen player and i gotta say He can beat a lot of champion 1v1 if you play him right, I personally love playing against Zed with shen. If you play shen right you can counter Zed pretty good I mean look at shen’s skill and his passive. Shen is a tank and deal pretty good damage but Zed is just squishy.

This three item is a must have when I play shen no matter ranked or not, try them out guys those works great with shen. The burst damage is real and so is the movement speed to chase
