Blood Moon Shen

Having discovered my love for Shen after playing him on the recent free rotation, I purchased him and played him a bit more, until I realized he had what my group wanted - A Blood Moon skin. So, I decided to use some leftover RP and buy it, as four friends of mine and myself were doing a five blood-moon skin. I soon realized in comparison to the other skins his was underwhelming in some aspects. I was wondering if since his rework he was going to get an update on that said skin to make the animations and spirit sword red? Just to be clear, I do love the skin anyways, and don't want a refund or anything of the sort, I simply want to know if maybe his skin could be put on a level that is comparable to the other amazing blood moon skins, like Kalista's, or Yauso's.

(As a side note, love the visual update for Cho'gath's abilities' icons, makes them look a lot better when you're playing him! :D)

The thing is, it's a skin from another era. Keeping that in mind, when Riot recently game Shen his long-awaited VU and Gameplay Update, they tried to find a delicate balance between his original Blood Moon skin, and modern era Blood Moon skins.

Blood Moon skins didn't particularly have any common elements prior to the release of Blood Moon Kalista and Thresh apart from the whole Red and White color scheme. They had no common particle effects, masks, clothing. The list goes on. I honestly think Riot did a job of finding the balance between Modern Era Blood Moon and the Blood Moon Shen skin they released way back in 2011 (I think).

The problem is, Ennemie Shen's blade is red :/

I think they want to keep the color of the spirit blade the same for clarity reasons.
