Shen: Heard that if your hand is bigger than your face, you have cancer.
Zed: ...not falling for that one.
Shen: ...Turns away
Zed: Sees Shen isn't looking, slowly puts hand to face
Shen: Slams Zed's hand and his blade into Zed's face GOTCHA!
Zed: Fucking tank meta bullshit...
Pyrodinium9 votesA lot of doctors and surgeons actually use Crocs.
Baby sitting ADC3 votesBecause its comfort reasons but the sad part is surgons shouldn't use them just encase they drop a knife or something sharp on the ground be cause it does go through the shoe if it is stepped on. :(
Shield Villain7 votesYeah I don't think anyone wants to undergo surgery from someone who drops a sharp blade....
Leadpaintchips1 votesFrom the post on the update, most of the Crocs that are worn have no holes, they probably used those for the instant recondition.

I never really understood this actually. Crocs have holes in them don't they? Isn't that super unsanitary in a hospital?
ModAttysu The Poro1 votesI never really understood this actually. Crocs have holes in them don't they? Isn't that super unsanitary in a hospital?
There are crocs without holes actually :)
Jari1 votesThey use ones without holes. They're meant to be for comfort reasons. They can stand for longer without problems because of it and makes it easier in the long run.
Balithar2 votesForget the crocs, that q just completely changes what it means to play shen.... Forget free poke and a tool to help you farm when you're already harassed out of lane, you're just simply fucked top lane now. I do not like the q. He's lost his sustain too.... I'm not sure what to feel about this rework.

he's a better support now i suppose since he has only 2 spells and aa to use on toplane pre6
Baron of Bread3 votesHow so? I still count 3 spells pre-6.
VulcanIsHere1 votesHe should be good in jungle, I think
A Liberal1 votesSo... like 
... just to name a few?
NazZomLord1 votesThe AA block could be great against quite a few top laners now that i thing about it...
(not sure about the interaction with his Q) Thats once less AA a Susan will slam down on you, 1 less bleed stack and W, 1 less Q from Garen. And it will help proc the passive shield giving him the ability to fight back for slightly longer. Yes his range is gone on his Q, but he can use his Q to pull the sword making for an excellent skirmish that you can E out of after getting those 3 AA off. I can see his build being a bit different but still offering some nice tanking options although the build in sustain will be severely missed.
Boots. Of course i dont know his new scalings but i would think of a more AD focused offensive build for the front lines
Alëk1 votesno. The AA block is useless when he's by himself. It only functions when he's with an ally. gotta read them bro

"Basic attacks that would hit Shen or an allied champion in the zone are blocked. " You are the one who needs to read. "bro"
Alëk1 votes"The ability triggers when there are allied champions in the zone - if there are no allies are in the zone, it waits to start until one gets close enough."
quoted straight from the info..... sorry if I offended you but that's what it says.
uwu meow1 votesShen himself is an allied champion and even if he wasn't it would still trigger after 2 seconds broseph

Spirit's Refuge (W)

Shen's spirit blade creates a defensive zone for x seconds. Basic attacks that would hit Shen or an allied champion in the zone are blocked.
If there are no champions to protect in the zone when it starts, the spirit blade will not activate until one enters or x seconds pass.

Alëk1 votesthats surrender@20 which I did not in fact look at. I viewed the one here at league site, which does not indicate that if noone enters in "x" seconds it will trigger on its own. If that is what it says then I'm wrong and you are infact correct sir. The one here on this site indicated that it couldn't be used unless an ally was there. Hope you understand it wasn't exactly clear. Anyway I do hope that he'll be able to use it on his own, since without it he'd be a 3 ability champ in lane unless a jungler ganked.
SexySoapTurtle1 votesOh look what an original joke. You should be a comedian
Nekona1 votesPlus he has 2 swords and only uses one that bugs the heck out of me .
Melledoneus2 votesHis old auto animation was the stupidest thing ever. He would pull out both swords from the sheath, strike, then put them back.
EVERY. SINGLE. AUTO.
Definitely prefer the new one.
Tornado of DOOM1 votesWHAT ARE THOOOOSSSSSSE!
Boulderox1 voteshis q might be gone, but he is HELL to kill, he 2v1'd jhin and a twitch, luckily poison. It just means his Combo is now, e through into q w to trade boom, taunt, enhanced 3 AA and don't take damage from AA's VERY well rounded dualing champ. and his ult just makes him more SAVIOR than ever, shield into w into e q.
Melledoneus1 votesExcept his passive damage is gone. But I need to play him before I can make a judgment.
Boulderox1 votesvery true, from what my friend says who plays a lot of shen anyways, he likes the rework and shifting him to a more dueling champion, and thematically being PERFECT, a samurai 
vs ninja 
Melledoneus1 votesShen's a ninja.
Yasuo, on the other hand, is a Samurai.
Also, not all ninjas are sneaky. Some wield larger weapons and are brutes in comparison to their stealthy counterparts.
Boulderox1 voteshe WAS a ninja, and assuming this rework changes his gameplay AND feel, he looks and feels more like a samurai, his warlord is a cut and paste samurai skin. They still states he is a ninja, but i do not feel that way with this update. and i feel having a samurai lead the ninja order is perfect, as traditionally samurai are the highest rank of warriors in japan and ninja are under them.
Melledoneus1 votesTrue, but consider this: Ionia is not a complete replica of Japan. It was merely inspired by it. Shen is a warrior and part of a triumvirate, a holy trio of guardians meant to preserve balance. Their pursuits are more spiritual than war-mongering. Shen fights not because a battle is to be waged on enemies of Ionia, but because those who disrupts the balance must face the enforced equilibrium of the Kinkou.
Boulderox1 votesyes, but if you are basing something off a real world thing, it would be counter intuitive to have a world that doesn't follow similar structures. The idea of the kinkou is great, balance among the world. But if you dig deeper, samurai are actually better for that than assassins/ninjas, that don't have to uphold values which samurai HAVE to. Shen may not like to fight, and only fights when they have to, but why does samurai not fit that role too? Because it seems shen is seen as the CHOSEN ninja... and is praised as the eye of twilight... but somehow akali and kennen is at that level as well, which is confusing.
Melledoneus1 votesLet me take a different view of this, then.
Shen is a GUARDIAN, not a warrior. He protects and upholds balance. Kennen and Akali are ninjas, warriors and assassins capable of going on the offensive while Shen defends them. It's why "Stand United" is his ultimate ability.
Boulderox1 votesyes i completely agree on that respect, but i feel his rework has changed him to be more offensive instead of the old more defensive kit that was older Shen ( wow calling Shen's kit old even before it is live...). That is the only thing that is off, and having a ninja, who is by definition is a hired assassin used for death, espionage and spying, to be defined as Shen, is wrong in my eyes... Which is why I feel Shen being a samurai is more appealing and thematically more effective, as ninja vs samurai is always a fun match up (or maybe that's just me...) then ninja 1, 2, and 3 vs ninja 4 and co. to save the world. Just like Shen wants to protect others in his order, samurai were royal body guards
Melledoneus1 votesOk, let's ditch the whole "ninjas" argument here. Let's look at new Shen for a second.
His Q is a "spirit blade" attack, so whatever, he's mystical.
His W is a zone that PROTECTS HIS ALLIES. If that wasn't enough for you, let's keep going.
Shadow Dash is there. Shen is fast and can get people to attack him. Sweet.
Stand United. The most pivotal ability in Shen's kit that single-handedly solidifies him as a guardian. He shields his allies, then teleports to them to defend them.
The only offensive thing about new Shen is how he fights. He has a primary blade and a secondary one he never seems to use (maybe a spare, or as a Daisho? Who knows?), and he attacks like a true fighter does in battle. While he doesn't have a shield like traditional guardians, he uses his ki to create barriers to ward off enemies. Samurais are known for their ability to fight offensively to kill, defensively to protect somebody important, or a mixture of both when in battle.
Shen, while he can be offensive, focuses more on protecting his allies than fighting his enemies when the choice arises. I know that the fantasy of him being a samurai would be admittedly really freaking cool, it just doesn't fit him. He's a man who protects his allies among many who charge headfirst into battle. That's what makes him different.
ViashinoWizard1 votesStrange but true: a lot of surgeons wear crocs. They're good shoes for a career where you're on your feet all day and tend to get covered in various bodily fluids.
FBI Surveillance1 votesI actually appreciate that detail, having worked in a hospital that's actually what a lot of doctors wear since being on their feet for like twelve hours straight
ModAttysu The Poro1 votesI have one question for you, doctor.
WHAT ARE THOSEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Heedprime1 votesThere is a joke about crocs I can't post here. It has to do with how good it feels then you look down and realize...
