@Riot Were Shen and Zed not in the cinematic due to tracking Jhin?

The new cinematic seems very lore-heavy since it shows the Noxian invasion and Jhin having made his way to Zaun/Piltover. Now I'm not sure if it's 100% lore-accurate or if some parts were just done for the cinematic's sake rather than story-telling, but could it be possible that neither Shen or Zed are shown fighting in the invasion, due to teaming up to track down Jhin who was on his way to Zaun? Since Camille is shown trying to kill him, it's clear he already made it there. Will we ever get the whole story about them? Could a Rioter confirm if possible?

I would assume that is the case.

My personal head canon is that Shen was actually rushing to Irelia's distress signal along with Kennen but saw Akali there and decided to not to intervene partly because of how their relationship got strained and wanted to see if he could help out sneakily like hit and run style but when he saw her in fighting he thought she was more then capable and could handle herself. And yeah I think Zed was tracking Jhin in Piltover and tipped off Clan Ferros
