Pulsefire Shen's ingame hair model should more closely resemble the Splash Art

User Name: Vizulix "Posting here since the PBE boards login is glitchy as hell. Also, don't take me as bashing on this skin, I love the hell outta it and will be insta-buying it no matter what.

Though I think they should:

give him a new aa. The sword is way too clunky for him to swing it like that.

give him a voice filter. Just slap a robot filter on all his lines

make his recall animation have a re appearance thing at fountain. It looks super weird when he jumps through the worm hole and then just appears in fountain without any ending animation. At least add another portal that he pops out through or something.

tone down his chest depth. In my opinion, it's way too out there and kinda makes his chest look almost spherical"

User Name: Shentastic "I would like to ask if there is still a possibility to modify shen's sword I mean his basic attacks look so strange his sword is so big and ugly so could you make his basic attacks using the Katana and his Q uses his big sword, and it would be nice if you make a special basic attacks I mean something different than the other skins. And the most wanted thing that all shen mains wanted is new voice lines :( and we know it will become legendary 1820 rp but we will buy it even if its 3250 rp you know it has been 5 years since last shen skin so we wanted an op shen skin I have last suggestion which most of you will disagree with me and refuse the idea but anyway the idea is what if u add in game chroma feature ( just like Miss fortune ultimate skin) plus new voice lines and make Pulsefire shen legendary (I know I'm dreaming but I'm ready to pay 100$ for this skin :P ) Thanks in advance!"

User Name: Jesaub "A different dance, could be something mediocre, just something you can spam with ctrl+3 that is a little noticeable, Shen deserves a decent spammable movement bm"

User Name: Moggy_ "Kinda too big chest piece and sword is too big and flat and clunky."

User Name: Spilastokkur "New voicelines could be pretty nice but I'm sure they won't do that, but for 1350rp they could add a voice filter like they did with God Staff Jax.

And that non-empowered AA must be fixed please

I really don't care about Ctrl animations"

User Name: Kaisadin "nightblade Irelia even has a filter on her voice and that skin is not even 600 rp !!!! Shen deserves justice."

User Name: Melledoneus I would like to see some more of a portal jump animation on his ult kind of like his recall. I mean, the skin is nice but that part is just lazy...

User Name: Ouroborros "I've been trying to leave my opinion about this skin in PBE Boards thread for the past 4 days but due to login problems (which even support couldn't help me with) I decided to post here. If someone is willing to share this to PBE Boards I would really appreciate it.

First of all I would like to say some praise to the design team. This skin exceeded my expectations and it looks so good. The splash art is amazing, his model, the colours, hairstyle, glowing eyes they all look extremely good and well made. I saw a lot of comments regarding his armour being too bulky but in my opinion its good because Shen is a tank and it kinda suits him. But even tho this skin already looks great, there are still some flaws I would like to address and talk about some changes that are possible to make.

SWORD: The biggest disappointment about this skin for me was his main sword which he uses for autoattacking. Like many of you suggested it just looks too wide and it doesen't fit him at all. Sword should be more narrow and the design should at least originate from what he's using in his base skin. A bit like a high-tech katana if you want.

RECALL: Another thing that bothers me is the lack of re-appearance animation on the fountain. It just needs some jumping from a time portal on the ground or something similar. For 1350 RP skin, animations should be well made.

VOICE: For sure the most requested addition besides the sword fix is implementation of a voice filter. I saw tons of comments about just slapping robotic filter over his existing voice lines. I really don't feel like this is a good idea. He's not a robot. He's still in a human form and its better to leave the default voice. What could potentially work well is that they try to filter his voice in a way that it sounds like he's talking through his mask (which he obviously is). Just imagine something like Bane from The Dark Knight Rises or Kylo Ren from Star Wars franchise. And then if you look at it from a different perspective, Shen has been without a new skin for about 5 years. It has, without a doubt, the potential to be upgraded to legendary category. I sincerely hope they put in some more work and make this skin as good as its potential. Even Shen's voice actor himself tweeted that he's willing to help.

This is the perfect opportunity for Riot to show some love for one of the most iconic characters in their game and to please all the Shen mains out there that waited so long for this skin."

There's a lot more, and I mean a lot, and a lot of people have already covered most of the issues that didnt' even come from the Shen reddit page, so I will leave it at that to not make this a difficult post to read.

I hope some of theses feedbacks can come to use to you RIOT, and more importantly thank you for giving our Shen a skin.

edit: P.S. Look at that splash art. It honestly looks like a legendary splash art.

I've been saying that he needs new animations long before this skin came out. His half-assed "VGU" still has him saddled with all of his old animations from his launch, which are clunky as hell and are not counteracted by the like 1-2 new auto animations they added for his spirit sword.

Shen needs to have Riot go back and complete his VGU before they release skins for him. He didn't even get a VO nor did he get the most basic animations like homeguard or recalls. It was a half-assed VGU through and through, and now we can finally see how the age of his ancient animations is going to make his new skins and such look shitty.

I would like to see some more of a portal jump animation on his ult kind of like his recall.

I mean, the skin is nice but that part is just lazy. Feel free to add me up there even though I didn't comment on the reddit.

I'd also like to mention that the glow in his eyes is a bit too strong if that can be toned down a bit.

I was super excited when I heard about this skin "for sure thought it was that juicy 1850rp", but I was kinda disappointed on pbe. AA super clunky, Ult particles lack luster, and plzzzzz give this man a VO, dance, new lines, something.

I second on the moves part, I personally on my LAN account have all the skins and chromas, and I feel really disappointed that we won't see shen dance or do anything different to that EXTREMELY BORING yoga or pilates or whatever dance.

And please, give us chromas, like the omega squad set of skins... PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New voice lines would be cool and some variations in the sword swinging animation. Having said that, the skin looks amazing even as is.

Looking forward to it's release.

I think they all definitely need closing recall anims

I really don't like all these pulsefire skins. I think of takes the uniqueness away when every other champ has the same skin... I just call them Ezreal wannabes...

KEITH SILVERSTEIN AGREED TO DO NEW VOs, lets make this skin the legendary shen deserves
