Riot, can we talk about Shen's skins?

Ultîma·Jan 23, 2016·10 votes·846 views

Two threads regarding adjustments to Shen's upcoming rework have been on the front page of this board; Warlord Shen - Golden Spirit Sword Blood Moon Shen - Spirit Blade Correction

More recently, other threads popped up on reddit with thousands of upvotes; Can Yellow Jacket Shen's tether to his Spirit Sword be a chain? Could Blood moon Shen's ability effects be changed to red so it fits into the Blood moon theme

These are all (perhaps with the exception of the Yellow Jacket request) pretty easy, low-cost/high-reward changes that could be made to Shen's skins but there doesn't seem to be any sign of Riot taking any of it in consideration in spite of the visibility of these threads. In case of Blood Moon specifically, this would bring Shen in line with other characters who have the same theme (Thresh, Kalista). Can we get some kind of acknowledgement or answer regarding this?

From what I've noticed Riot doesn't bother to respond to threads on this subforum unless they're endless praise (e.g. the various Mind of the Virtuoso threads) or minor plot questions.

Riot does not have a good track record with keeping consistency on their skins or following through with a feature wanted dearly by the community (still waiting on Arcade MF's rainbow ult, Riot). I wouldn't get your hopes up on these changes.

I'm not trying to accuse Riot of anything - there's just been an exorbitant amount of feedback regarding Shen's skin (specifically in regards to the Blood Moon skin) on both this board and Reddit, and usually small questions regarding balance often see some Red feedback. It'd be nice to get some clarification about this since they've very obviously seen the threads.

I think if more people did accuse them and hold them accountable of stuff like this, they would be more willing to have a stronger presence here on the forums, especially since they consider League to be a game driven by the fans.
