Why Shen does not have a skin with flashy altered abilities?

We can all say from a visual standpoint that Warlord Shen is the biggest lug on the alteration scale, meaning he has the most change from the base than the rest. You could rival me and say TPA shen is the best but for me it's not.

Isn't anyone bothered that riot didn't go as far as change the color scheme of Shen 's abilities much less how they are applied/look? To me it's very upsetting, ppl talk about Urgot needing adjusments but at least his Battcast skin has altered abilities animations (and yes I know it would look dumb if they didn't do it)

I understand the shen's abilities are subtle in appearance like that of Katarina but they even change hear very small animations to got with her Warring Kingdoms Kat skin?

#Why Can't They Do The Same For My Shen? #Does Anybody even care about him?

I bet if Riot went all out for one epic legacy shen skin that shen players would be contented with just that for a good 3 years... Give or take.

All those skin were very old so they don't have a huge different from one another and although TPA Shen is newer it is only a 750. Also the skin that you compare to Battlecast Urgot 1350 and Warring kingdom Kat 975 while all of Shen skins are below that. The only thing we Shen player can wait for is a skin at those tier or a VU that "might" give him different particles.

All more reason for him to get one, he deserves it. Even a champ we hardly see mentioned on PBE Xin Zhao gets a Secret Agent skin with everything looking different I mean c'mon?

Also shen's Warlord Skin is 975 rp and the only animation that is different is his auto attack animation, it's good but that alone is not enough to compel me to a Shen skin.

yes he needs one but the title ask Why shen doesn't have fancy particles that's because all his skin where from a time Riot didn't have the technology or it was hard for them to give him those thing.

I know I know :( but they probably had the tech to do it for 2 years now and shen's last skin was made in 2012. It just seems like their ignoring him and although I agree he does not seem like top priority, I see a bunch of other we'll put together champs get more attention than him.

I think another problem might be that there is not many skin idea floating around for him. I'm trying to think of what kind of skin that be cool that is online is Deadly Shen like Deadly kennen there is no other art/fanart of anything else out there. Personally i would want a forsaken Shen like Jayce.
