For Her New Lore, I Hope Akali Doesn't Actively Dislike or Act Malicious Towards Shen.

While I think the idea of her going her own way to devolp her own short of idea of balance is an interesting story development, I don't want her to be on super poor terms with Shen. I could understand her being frusterated or having mixed feelings about him and his ways, but it would really bother me if she down right hated him now.

I feel she of all people should understand that his hands are tied in a lot of situations because of the position he holds as the Eye of Twilight. If she disagrees with that and doesn't want to be part of it that's fine, but I hope she at least understands where Shen in coming from.

I might just be saying that because I like Shen and think he's an interesting character, but I'd be pretty bummed out if his closest student had a grude against him. I also fear that it might end in the writing team painting Shen as the generic "old-fashioned, stirict teacher telling the student 'you're not ready yet', 'you're still so immature', or "you have much more to learn'" type, which would make the character much worse in my eyes.
