Shen Skin: No skin since VU, four years since last skin

Hi! It's been almost a year now since the Shen rework has come out and he still hasn't received a new skin. I know this kind of delay is something you've tried to avoid in more recent updates ie Taric I know you're probably sick of hearing this but he hasn't received a skin in over 4 years. I know that you probably cant give me a detailed answer or anything, I'm just a bit curious if this point is being considered with giving him a skin in the near future. Just feel its about time and since his skins didn't really get any changes with the rework it feel like he's been left out a bit.

Also just something else I wanted to ask, what are the chances of updating one or two of the already existing Shen skins? It felt like a bit of a lost opportunity not to change Blood moons abilities to have a red tint or for Warlord to have a golden tint. Thanks for reading!

PS Was going to put a Shen quote to put in the title as a joke to fit this discussion but ehh...couldn't find any good ones. It's almost like he didn't get and more dialogue in the rework...I guess I'll just go grab some Poppy lines. JK luv u really <3item 3681

He needs a full VGU. His visuals are better, but like... is a recall animation too much to ask for?

I made a detailed feedback post on Blood Moon Shen right after the VU - Riot did respond: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/E0TgEGMR-blood-moon-shen-spirit-blade-correction-blue-red

I also made examples for the other updated skins:

Loos like we are out of luck : / Very weird that they refused to make Shen's abilities red, then released several skins right after with red VFX...

They're probably using the "He got all his skins updated" thing as leverage to hold off on new ones.

They spent all that time giving VU updates, with most Shen players including myself quite satisfied, I don't think we really need another skin for the time being. We got like 8 skins at once.
