What happen to our Shen?

Is there some sort of fix coming after the remake? 4+ years no new Skin? There are so many Shenpai mains out there. I'm gonna keep crying until I can get some Shen loving answers..

I have no stake in this, but I do feel for you guys.

Hopefully Shenpai, didn't know people called him this, and the other lesser used champs get some love this year.

I just want old shen back, this new shen is boring, all you do is AA and you CARRY A BIG FLOATING SWORD BEHIND YOU, 1. why does shen have this and not irelia? 2. what the hell is ninja like about having a big ass floating sword around you at all times, it looks stupid.

He is a ninja with the abilities of the Twilight that are capable of summoning a spiritual sword that aids in combat & enhances his speed, stamina and mobility over-all while having other defensive capabilities like teleporting to an ally in need channeling spiritual energy that was mastered by Shen from years of training at the Temple.

If you want the typical assassinating hyper mobile Ninja, you've got Zed.

P.S: Old shen was fucking boring and ugly.

while not fitting shen in the slightest still, why give shen a floating sword and not, say, irelia, the person who is litterally all about floating weapons.

@Abibyama, ah yeah because right click non stop is fun as fuck.

old shen Q spam may not have been fun on the receiving end but new fun is now boring as shit to play as a right clicker

Because Irelia isn't a Ninja trained at the Temple of Twilight by Shen's father.

It really wasn't up that much, he just won every trade because it healed him during autos too.

How is he different now? He still spams his Q [sg-kiko]

Old q was point and click

New Q is still point and click. Just because its melee now, doesn't change that.

No it’s not. It’s a skillshot that changes distance based on where the sword is

I like him because he had a bruiser path new shen is boring tank with horrible scaling

AquariusGineJan 13, 20182 votes

The new Shen is thematically a failure. I had more fun with old Shen.

I really hope Riot reworks him a second time

MelledoneusJan 13, 20182 votes

Unfortunately we're in a loop on this one.

If we don't get any Shen changes soon, we won't get an answer to that question usually. If there is, we won't get an answer to avoid spoilers.

I've lost all hope on Shen getting a skin though, so you guys can take the baton and try to finish this race.

I’m waiting for a cosmic protector shen... and all these comments are bashing on new shen.... this shen is more interactive than old shen..old shen was very 2 dimensional.

With how many champions there are in this game, maybe Riot should have more employees working on skins? I don't really know if this would help since I have no knowledge on how many people at Riot work on skins and stuff...More champs->more skin demand->more employees to make skins->more skins->profit? But maybe they would just end up making more skins for Lux, Jhin, Ahri, etc since they are more popular...

Riot expressed in an "Ask Riot" that they aren't going to just hire more people. Throwing more people at a problem won't fix it for 3 reasons 1.) Everyone needs to be of the same mind. New people don't know how the culture is, so they need to get acclimated

2.) More people means more people to work through to get things done and makes the flow and process more complicated

3.) Now they have excess people, and why hire people for one specific project and then fire them right after 3 months later?

right on

Yeah Im still holding on to a sliver of hope that Shenpai will recieve a skin soon. Maybe Shen and Zed could have some sort of event like Riven and Yasuo did, but it might turn out to be another Janna skin :^)

SangreDeNocheJan 13, 20181 votes

Just like all those other champs that were JUST waiting for a rework. Riot lied and in fact they apparently have a rule of not giving skins to champs who get VUs because they count the VU as new skins.

I have 100+ games in preseason with shen and i allready want a new rework. He does a better job as a support than being a toplaner.

I cant agree on this statement really not.
