For gods sakes, Shen uses both swords

The big sword is for empowered Q attacks, while normal autos use the smaller.

Wait seriously? People haven't noticed this? That's key to how his kit functions; the small sword is for normal autos and the big one is the one he makes a spirit blade from, which he then uses for Twilight Assault and Spirit's Refuge.

Yeah, apparently lots of people lacked common sense to figure out this particular detail. I've been seeing so many comments about how he only uses the big sword while the other is just sitting there, and well, it started triggering me.

Forum subjects do that from time to time.

My trigger is when people say Mundo is a tank or uses him as an example of tanks.

He's a fighter. Most likely a juggernaut.

For me he always was and always will be disruptor tank.

Which I believe they call a Fighter.

I was actually weirded out when I found out he wasn't a tank, but then I realised that Mundo actually lacks any real defensive abilities; he can't reduce the damage he takes for himself or his allies, which is the cornerstone of being a tank.

I mean, he can reduce the damage he takes through regeneration. But he can't reduce damage for his allies.

Sharjo1 votes

Yeah but the regeneration only replenishes what he loses; he doesn't flat out reduce or stop the damage itself. Mechanically he lacks the shielding, innate resistances and damage reduction that a traditional tank would have, at least as far as I can see.

People just like to dump champions into categories. If you can take a truck load of damage, you're a tank and that's it. I have the same feeling when people call Gragas a tank. Seriously, Fighter/Mage is a thing people.

Or lots of people don't care?

Catastrop1 votes

Then what was the point of them even bringing up the big sword in the first place? Last time I checked, showing you don't care meant not doing or saying anything about whatever it was.

PDE5 Inhibitors1 votes

I don't think Sharjo was talking specifically about people making the threads about it. He just was surprised people didn't know this and your response was that they lack common sense. It's probably more so that we just don't care lol.

Was this a discussion topic? People who didn't see that should get their eyes checked.

PDE5 Inhibitors1 votes

I didn't! But that's because I couldn't care less about it lol.

I liked how Warlord Shen has a different attack animation.

Swords?

this wasn't shown on the riot site though, the news about shen update only showed him using his bigger sword because the only attack animation they showed of him was of his Q skill, which is indeed his bigger sword.

Riot didn't show that when Jihn kills an enemy champion they spawn a Captive Audience(which I find weird that they didn't) either, just because they didn't show it, doesn't mean it isn't there.

yeah but this is something that has to do with the rework of a champion's appearance and kit, which had previously established things.
