I'm just wondering if we'll be seeing anything for our resident top lane ninja anytime soon. A skin, a skin concept, something.

You can feel free to let us know. In the meantime, I'm just going to ask people to upvote for visibility if they want an answer to this question.

Thanks.

EDIT: WE GOT NEWS! https://youtu.be/L1RtLXGGEw8?t=278

SHEN'S GETTING A SKIN BABY

Hi hi!

As with any champion, unless we've officially announced/teased a skin, it isn't something we openly discuss as devs. The State of Skins Dev Diaries are your best bet for spoilers for what's coming up further down the road, as opposed to what most of our social channels tease for the next patch.

The main reason is, a lot of things change in development - a concept may be heavily changed, ice boxed, or scrapped entirely. We may want, I don't know, Candy King Shen (no idea why, but for the sake of example), and that doesn't work (surprise), so we want like, Star Guardian Shen.

If I said we were making Candy King and you were super hyped, you'd be pretty upset that we pivoted so heavily on thematic. It'd also suck for me to say, 'hell yeah, new Shen skin coming this spring!' and have one of the other aforementioned things happen and then you don't see anything on PBE.

I think that's a bit unfair to the skins team; no amount of upvotes allows them to share a work in progress or other future plans ahead of time, it'd just make them feel bad.

Idk about "resident top lane ninja."

He's been a support for quite a while now. The first change i would want is moving him back to viability top lane instead of a skin.

In the dev diary video just released now, they said they plan on giving one to him this year. Probably already in production.

Have a nice day ! ~

I want a shen rework, he's incredibly dull to me, I never liked playing ADC's because 90% of the time you just right click and do nothing else and with shen it's the case as well now which bores me

As I said already, I really hope they are not giving him any skin because they think he needs to be reworked once again. A man can hope...
