Am I the only one who thinks that Shen is like, early-mid forties, and Akali is 18-20, and that shipping them is really weird?

Yeah the age range is probably accurate. Hell I used to think that Akali was in her early twenties, but I'm very ready to assume she's nineteen given Shen's new lore.

I kinda like to imagine that Shen picked her up and trained her personally while she was young, after some kind of incident involving the Order of Shadows, but that's just me going in to fanfiction territory.

But back to the main point, yeah it's a tad odd to me given the age disparity for such a ship, but people can make it work, and if they're both consenting adults then who's to judge really. Personally though I don't think either Akali or Shen would have the time or desire to be in a relationship with anyone. Shen's got his role as the Eye of Twilight to consider and I've always seen Akali as not being very personable in such a way that she wouldn't care to really be close to anyone beyond Shen, but even then it'd be a master/student relationship, not a case of lovers.

I don't get it either. I'm not one to judge ships, but Shen talks to Akali like a father would to a moody teen during his story regarding Jhin.

Reviving necro- threads which already had their time to shine is against Universal Rules and as such I will be locking this thread to make sure it lands at the bottom of the howling abyss. I would strongly encourage looking at how old a thread is before commenting on it.

Should there be any questions regarding this action feel free to reach out in our Moderation Discord.

Well old lore wise their about the same age if memory served me right.

Longing to remain free from the confusion of emotion

This basically means that Shen cant feel emotions, like love... So, any "ship" with him makes almost no sense lorewise

Hey bro, given by events Shen should be around 24-25 year old, just clearing things up
