About the Shen skin meme

I had some conversations in here with people who were saying that Shen is the new "doesn't get skins" meme, since Yorick got served with the newest addition of Arclight Yorick.

After some investigation, I have to say that this meme is absolutely inappropriate, no matter how you look at it.

The last skin Shen received was his TPA Shen skin in 2013, however, for the sake of this discussion we want to exclude it, since worlds skins don't count for the general skin process. His next skin in line was Warlord Shen, received in 4/2012. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/a/a2/Shen_WarlordSkin.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/320?cb=20170621212926

However, there is another champion who didn't get a new skin for even longer than this. I am talking about Urgot, he received his Battlecast Urgot skin in 3/2012. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/b/ba/Urgot_BattlecastSkin.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/320?cb=20170711184828

So Shen gets beaten here by 1 month. Some people argue that this doesn't really count, since Urgot received a VGU and therefore got all his skins reworked, "which means basically new skins".

In my opinion, that is not a relevant argument, since Yorick was the meme before him and he did receive his VGU as well. But let's assume that is valid and we rule out Urgot because of his rework.

That would mean we have to think about Shen as "last received skin" as the moment of his rework as well. Which was in the year 2016, not that long ago. Meanwhile Jarvan IV received his last skin (which wasn't worlds related), Warring Kingdoms Jarvan IV, in the year 2013. Again, Shen gets beaten here. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/a/a6/Jarvan_IV_WarringKingdomsSkin.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/320?cb=20170621020644

Long story short, no matter how you look at it, Shen is not appropriate as the new meme for "getting new skins". If you want to meme about that, chose Urgot or Jarvan IV.
