Update on Ao Shin?

Igotlazy··1 votes·761 views

I know I'm pretty much beating a dead horse by now, but with us reaching early 2016 (his last promised release period) I was wondering if we could get an update as to how his development is going along. Have you guys gotten over the technological and thematic issues you were experiencing back in 2014?

I'm pretty sure he isn't coming out this year, or even next year. He's in the coldest Ice Box there is until we are directly told otherwise. Honestly, he'll probably get "Omen'd". And even more honestly, Ao Shin can never be cool enough as a champion to match the hype the community has created for him. But you never know, Riot may have started working on him already and been purposely misleading us to keep it under wraps. As cool as that would be, I doubt it's possible.

It's true. He could also be part of the mage update. Just a suspicion with ur comment

"can never be cool enough as a champion to match the hype the community has created for him."

So basically, Ao Shin will be League's Half-Life 3.

I doubt he gets omen'd. Omen was completely scrapped because his whole thematic was considered lame and not unique enough(I mean whats unique about him?His grin?Ziggs The fact that he walks on 4 legs?Hecarim His spikes?Rammus)

Ao shin however does have a unique thematic with him being an asian dragon and a storm-themed champ,so there is no reason to fully scrap him.

In the wort case scenario he'd be Priscilla'd in that he'll be scrapped but another asian dragon is made instead.

He was iceboxed. There is no ETA on his release.

Ao Shin, the champion to be released a year after everyone stops asking about him.
