Anyone: So Ionian people are all famous ninjas? Zed: yes i am a ninja assassin, akali is a ninja assassin, kennen is a ninja assassin.. Anyone: And shen? Zed: Yes...... a tank
Played Shen today expecting to be disappointed cause he was one of my favorite champions for a long time. Surprisingly I really enjoyed him and hes very fun, tons of outplay potential and plenty of ways to save team mates still.
+Trash kun yeah right , I love when i am about to kill someone in a 1v1 and he instantly gains a fucking 1k health shield, super fun. But srsly it feels awesome when its you saving your teammate
+draven yousuf There is a thing called River Shen where you take Exhaust and Ignite and literally stay in the river, gank lanes from there, and gain XP from ganking and killing skuttle.
Solaxe S It's so people have a good feeling when playing a different champion... for instance: When 1 champion has Q damage and E for dash, and you play another champ which has them the complete other way around, it get's more confusing. Believe me or not, but that's why there's a pattern.
+M'Lady Banoni Have you ever been relevant in your entire life? No? That's what I thought. You'd rather just hate on someone who's more successful than you? You fuck off.
+M'Lady Banoni you're so right! he cant comment on videos, because if he does, he is trying really hard to be relevant. whats worse is that i get this feeling you think he boosted his comment up for people to see it or sometihng. why dont you go ask the 120 people to fuck off instead? :| pethatic
+AJFilms Have you played it? The PBE forum has been full - literally CRAMMED FULL - of people begging them to revert this shit, with no evidence that anybody has read a word of it. The sword feels more like you're dragging a big dumb rock behind you, he now has no way to farm at range, he doesn't have any guaranteed damage reduction when he uses E, and worst of all, that sword that you have to focus on forever has next to no actual impact. Visually he's great, but this is the worst gameplay rework since... well, since anyone. This is gonna be worse-received than Karma and Cassiopeia combined.
Dan610XX Presumably because his W makes him flat-out immune to the enemies he taunts, but... 1) You'd need to either E into your sword, or use QW immediately after, which requires something like 300 energy 2) W doesn't block abilities or on-hit effects so god help you if you taunt Kog'maw 3) His cooldowns are ridiculously massive aside from his Q, which doesn't actually provide any tank stats and will drain your energy pool really fast. Pretty much all of his tankiness comes from his passive now, which is neat and all but you have to be hitting enemies or allies constantly for it to be effective... and his kit doesn't make that easy or even rewarding anymore.
+marc leman Bear in mind that he's talking about 1v1ing pure tank champs. I doubt the new Shen could 1v1 the average offtank e.g. Irelia, or even a glass cannon like Yi. An underleveled assassin such as Kha'zix can still destroy a squishy 2 levels above him in a 1v1, Shen's the same but only vs tanks.
+ChrisPWilliams Nah he most likely can keep in mind the base tankyness is good and vs yi he can remove auto attacks and buff his own/ reset the shield. Get some tankyness and abit of attack speed from runes and new shen will kick ass
I miss the old shen, anyways his W - Spirit's Refuge should be a damage nullifying zone; which means both auto attacks and spell damages are denied. plus its only for a few seconds, so timing it critical for both shen and the enemies.
Raymond Castillo They're probably going to increase the energy cost or the cooldown duration to allow that. But I wish they'd still do your suggested buff anyway..
+Jacob Vega Martínez if his abilites have health as damage like mundo and his abilites where his helath depends on how much dmg he deals then probably because full tanks really need that especially shen since he is now a dueler which sucks he is better of as a passive harraser easy farm easy life long dash and shield b4 he was better i dont like this one if his abilities are ap its gonna be hard since he will have to rush rylais or frozen mallet those items are better than people think
+Roger Solé Guixeres It's not quite so obnoxious that they have to. People like Taric are even less fun and also have stat-check kit. They're first, and Riot has enough stuff to rework before someone like Nasus gets his turn. Especially since he's fairly weak.
+The Dude From Denmark Yeah, to be honest, he was already cool, but he looked too vanilla ... Was just too simple to even try to balance / tweak him ... That's why he was left unchanged for so long !
It bothers me how much players hate the rework on Shen. Shen was the first of the Ninjas I bought, and the fact that they finally took the time to give him a viable rework to where he will see more play is amazing to say the least. Alas you haters will continue to hate, but I for one find his rework to be Shensasual.
+Nation of Spikes You're really not up to date with the meta, River Shen is so op, riot needs to nerf, either you ban him, or you will see it every game. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . It Garen-tees wins Jhinstantly, in a very Shensual way ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Steven Wang man. and they say english is the hardest language to learn. Anyways. Despite the true meaning of when's name i think they both fit with his play style. when playing shen you have to be cautious and check the mini map to see where you should use your ult. And shen's like a god because he can save anyone he wants to
+DodgeThisBam It was a relatively small update, The spirit blade was the only thing that needed newish code, and even then it's just an Ori ball and I guess his w.
is warlord shen gonna be on sale recently? I really like the splash art and the skin, but i saw blood moon will be in january so idk what to get :\ maybe i wont even like the new shen :D
+Edward Elric Because WW would need a whole new complete Kit. And that usually takes a very long time. Sion rework took a little under 2 years to complete and you have to remember that alot of people to work to update one champion. Gameplay, illustrators, voice actors, sounds, content creators... Etc. I get that you want things right away but like the saying goes "It takes time to look this good."
+danni r. Well good! Let them focus on that!!!Í don't even want new fucking champions in there. All that's gonna do is make balancing the game harder for no reason other than feeding more shit to the never satiated shitmongers that make up a large part of the player base. Warwick, Urgot, Yorick, Singed, Galio, Nunu, Rammus, Swain, Cho Gath and Aatrox could use some reworking too. But nah, we need another champion that copies the skills of already existing ones add to the game. A lot of champions aren't even viable anymore and it's a stupid thing that Riot only wants to focus on the top tier players because the game just isn't fun anymore unless you go full not give a fuck mode. I have no fun trying to play seriously in this game anymore. Especially when compared to Heroes of the Storm. Their jungle actually does something besides give being a supplier of resources. Their turrets/keeps actually do something. Not just one flimpsy turret that just stands there. If I were Riot I'd focus on reworking champions and bringing more balance to the table. Trying to solve a few problems regarding toxic play, like Zed. It's just not fun to play against him. You step close to try and farm and boom, you're half hp from full by just a shadow double Q and spin in less than a fucking second. A champion like Vel'koz can't keep up with that because he actually has to hit several skillsshots, has no mobility and isn't AD based thus doesn't get the "Riot Attack Damage privilege Seal of Approval". On top of having more ranged on his abilities zed can also jump to his shadow? If he misses his abilities he can still deal good enough damage with auto attacks. If Vel'koz misses his abilities he's a fucking sitting duck with nowhere to run...
Paladin Leeroy I tried explaining it to you as to why they take a long time getting new stuff out, apparently you still cant grasp the idea of how a business is run. Fun fact: The founders of Riot Games Brandon Beck & Marc Merrill don't add or input any new content to the game, they simply approve the stuff that gets put out or not. Riot is a GLOBAL company made up of thousands and thousands of employees who all have their own input as well. Don't expect to things run your way. Also, this goes back to "You can't make everyone happy." Me, personally I have no problems laning against Zed, because I've learned the match ups, I've learned how to counter him and play against him. You know what was real toxic play?? Tristana with a DFG, a supposed ADC can blow you with a DFG abilities and 2 abilities, how the fuck was balanced? It wasn't and so they fixed that "toxic game" play.. Same thing with Veigar, now it's easier to dodge his Stun, so he doesn't just blow you up with a DFG and his Ult when you have no AP. Same shit with Master Yi, his Q would scale off AP & he would heal for ridiculous amounts of HP, they fixed his toxic play. And as for Vel'Koz I'm not sure if you read the Red Post, but in the most recent interview that's what they will be focusing on this year "immobile mages" Again if you can't handle patience with Riot, I highly suggest that you never marry or have children.
danni r. I have patience but I don't feel like some of the things they do are heading the right way. Yes I know Riot is a global company, so what? Yes and I am glad they fixed that but the game doesn't feel balanced at all, last season was the same thing. I'd just think that i'd be a better thing to focus on the balance of a game so that all players may enjoy the game equally instead of a handful because their playstyle is being supported by Riot or their playstyle is currently the best thing in the game.
Paladin Leeroy Again, "You cant make everyone happy" You know how difficult it is to make something very well balance where everyone feels that they have fair play, counter play, etc, and on top of that have a very aggressive competitive scene with very skilled pro players that play these same exact champions that you do in your normal's and ranked games? It's extremely difficult, because guess what? That little change you make in game, is going to AFFECT EVERY SINGLE PLAYER, and you know very vell that millions and MILLIONS of people play this game. For example with what 20,000 people will like, 200-400 of them may not and you know what? Riot is more than happy to accomplish that, now imagine that on the MILLIONS scale? It's pretty overwhelming, but you wouldn't know that since you're not put under that type of pressure. Me, personally, I'm happy in the direction Riot is taking their game. Yes what they do takes time, but shit I'd prefer them to take their time and consider all options regarding gameplay, updates, balacing etc.. before making a final decision on what gets put out in the game.
The brothers are accurate to their players. Shen is for players who are actually playing with the team, while Zed is for players who thinks they are the team...
This looks really awesome, but I'm kinda sad Kennen didn't appear once in the entire video. I mean, he is still part of the Trio which keeps balance! I wish Riot would just give him a new splash art.
+Flaysoft Taric is literally next in line right now. He's the next project for reworks they're pushing out so you'll be seeing the new Taric hopefully in the next couple of months? If he's not released by then it should at least be info/reveal on his current state in the rework table
+Flaysoft They're next (on the big updates list- Like Sion and Poppy). Taric first- They've been working on him for over a year now. After Taric is done they'll fully shift onto Yorick, who has also been in development for quite a while, but not fully focused on. :d
Yeah, I don't think Shen of all champions needed a rework. Also, really with that W? You decided to give kayle's game changing ult to someone, make it not an ult AND make it an AOE?
Gregory Samuel Teo Well, Kindred's R effects both teams which balances it out. Shen will just pop that bad boy out during any team fight, pretty much negating anything the other team does.
+The Zecromancer He's a ninja. But he's a tank. How do you make a ninja look tanky? Well, add some more-than-usual armor and make him look bigger overall.
+The Zecromancer Most reworks make champions larger, go back and look - even squishies like TF are much larger than they were. I think it's mostly for more readability and design space for the artists.
river is the best role for Shen.

+Nation of Spikes River Shen
+Nation of Spikes You've never played River Shen?
+Nation of Spikes You're really not up to date with the meta, River Shen is so op, riot needs to nerf, either you ban him, or you will see it every game.

It Garen-tees wins Jhinstantly, in a very Shensual way ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+Rj98 what is this SHENanigans.
mistahjellison How many Phreaking puns is there gonna be? They're so ANNIEoying.
worth every penny. shen is a God
Do you know that Shen means God in Chinese
Obstone it means caution
The visitor101 Depends on the stress on the "e" it can mean both god or caution.
Steven Wang man. and they say english is the hardest language to learn. Anyways. Despite the true meaning of when's name i think they both fit with his play style. when playing shen you have to be cautious and check the mini map to see where you should use your ult. And shen's like a god because he can save anyone he wants to
The visitor101 just got 33 assists playing as a support shen, Ik what u mean.
The shen avatar when he kills morg @ 4:40 cracks me up
Really surprised we got a Shen update before a Taric or Yorrick update. Hell, even an Urgot update.
+DodgeThisBam taric is next on the list then yorick :D
+DodgeThisBam It was a relatively small update, The spirit blade was the only thing that needed newish code, and even then it's just an Ori ball and I guess his w.
Smaller projects are faster to dish out than major projects. Warwick, Taric, Urgot and Yorick are labeled as major projects like Sion and Poppy.
is warlord shen gonna be on sale recently? I really like the splash art and the skin, but i saw blood moon will be in january so idk what to get :\ maybe i wont even like the new shen :D
+DarthRap there will be a Shen bundle and I'm guessing available skins will probably also be on sale outside the bundle.
***** oh that would be op :d
+DarthRap They do that whenever they send out a rework easiest way to get all of the legacy skins for a champ nice and fast
+DarthRap well he is really good the only thing that got worse is that he cant poke from far away anymore
+DarthRap
you mean reshently?
This is the best spotlight for puns in a while. Just make sure that you have the right Ki-stone for him. xD
Something about the way he says "the river"... i dunno, man, he didn't seem to happy about legitimizing River Shen, but here we are
Why Shen? Warwick needs a rework a lot more.
+Edward Elric Because WW would need a whole new complete Kit. And that usually takes a very long time. Sion rework took a little under 2 years to complete and you have to remember that alot of people to work to update one champion. Gameplay, illustrators, voice actors, sounds, content creators... Etc. I get that you want things right away but like the saying goes "It takes time to look this good."
+danni r. Well good! Let them focus on that!!!Í don't even want new fucking champions in there. All that's gonna do is make balancing the game harder for no reason other than feeding more shit to the never satiated shitmongers that make up a large part of the player base.
Warwick, Urgot, Yorick, Singed, Galio, Nunu, Rammus, Swain, Cho Gath and Aatrox could use some reworking too. But nah, we need another champion that copies the skills of already existing ones add to the game.
A lot of champions aren't even viable anymore and it's a stupid thing that Riot only wants to focus on the top tier players because the game just isn't fun anymore unless you go full not give a fuck mode.
I have no fun trying to play seriously in this game anymore.
Especially when compared to Heroes of the Storm. Their jungle actually does something besides give being a supplier of resources. Their turrets/keeps actually do something. Not just one flimpsy turret that just stands there.
If I were Riot I'd focus on reworking champions and bringing more balance to the table. Trying to solve a few problems regarding toxic play, like Zed. It's just not fun to play against him. You step close to try and farm and boom, you're half hp from full by just a shadow double Q and spin in less than a fucking second. A champion like Vel'koz can't keep up with that because he actually has to hit several skillsshots, has no mobility and isn't AD based thus doesn't get the "Riot Attack Damage privilege Seal of Approval". On top of having more ranged on his abilities zed can also jump to his shadow? If he misses his abilities he can still deal good enough damage with auto attacks. If Vel'koz misses his abilities he's a fucking sitting duck with nowhere to run...
Paladin Leeroy I tried explaining it to you as to why they take a long time getting new stuff out, apparently you still cant grasp the idea of how a business is run. Fun fact: The founders of Riot Games Brandon Beck & Marc Merrill don't add or input any new content to the game, they simply approve the stuff that gets put out or not. Riot is a GLOBAL company made up of thousands and thousands of employees who all have their own input as well. Don't expect to things run your way. Also, this goes back to "You can't make everyone happy." Me, personally I have no problems laning against Zed, because I've learned the match ups, I've learned how to counter him and play against him. You know what was real toxic play?? Tristana with a DFG, a supposed ADC can blow you with a DFG abilities and 2 abilities, how the fuck was balanced? It wasn't and so they fixed that "toxic game" play.. Same thing with Veigar, now it's easier to dodge his Stun, so he doesn't just blow you up with a DFG and his Ult when you have no AP. Same shit with Master Yi, his Q would scale off AP & he would heal for ridiculous amounts of HP, they fixed his toxic play. And as for Vel'Koz I'm not sure if you read the Red Post, but in the most recent interview that's what they will be focusing on this year "immobile mages" Again if you can't handle patience with Riot, I highly suggest that you never marry or have children.
danni r. I have patience but I don't feel like some of the things they do are heading the right way.
Yes I know Riot is a global company, so what?
Yes and I am glad they fixed that but the game doesn't feel balanced at all, last season was the same thing. I'd just think that i'd be a better thing to focus on the balance of a game so that all players may enjoy the game equally instead of a handful because their playstyle is being supported by Riot or their playstyle is currently the best thing in the game.
Paladin Leeroy Again, "You cant make everyone happy" You know how difficult it is to make something very well balance where everyone feels that they have fair play, counter play, etc, and on top of that have a very aggressive competitive scene with very skilled pro players that play these same exact champions that you do in your normal's and ranked games? It's extremely difficult, because guess what? That little change you make in game, is going to AFFECT EVERY SINGLE PLAYER, and you know very vell that millions and MILLIONS of people play this game. For example with what 20,000 people will like, 200-400 of them may not and you know what? Riot is more than happy to accomplish that, now imagine that on the MILLIONS scale? It's pretty overwhelming, but you wouldn't know that since you're not put under that type of pressure. Me, personally, I'm happy in the direction Riot is taking their game. Yes what they do takes time, but shit I'd prefer them to take their time and consider all options regarding gameplay, updates, balacing etc.. before making a final decision on what gets put out in the game.
that moment when shen manages to taunt the whole enemy with his e in a team fight should be in an "oddly satisfying" compilation
4:40 the shen photo before the "Blue champion slain" subtitle XD kawaii
can we talk about the fact that they put shurimas theme for shen
Azirs theme.
They gave Shen the music like he jus rose up an entire city and got ascended.
THIS IS WHY I FALL IN LOVE TO THE GAME BECAUSE OF SHEN
Kawaii Shen - Easter Egg confirmed at 4:40
Shentastic.
good job phreak.
Osmanthus wine tastes the same as i remember, but where are those who shares the memory?
0:49 WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSE
+Rowan Chettleborough
What are what?
WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE?
Crocs just fit ninjas so well
+Ajay Gupta (Ajito23) Wipe off the blood and go on. Easily done for only 2.99$ in your Ninja Market.
+Rowan Chettleborough lmao hahahaha
Personally I thought Shen was okay before and the spirit blade position is never where you want it half the time, but this isn't half bad.
a puntastic video!!!! GJ Phreak!
Can we get a Soul Reaper skin of Shen? I think it would fit perfectly.
I love Shen. No one knows how to counter him.
The brothers are accurate to their players. Shen is for players who are actually playing with the team, while Zed is for players who thinks they are the team...
Loving the new format!
"Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember..."
I didn't know Zhongli was a ninja
If light travels so fast, how come it's never caught a ninja?
Shentasticle
Phreak doin' his job at 6:50
"Garen-tee"~~~~~
7:08 Thought i wouldn't notice it, "Blowing him up, Jhinstantly" :P Well played.
Give Vorpal blade back :c
My master
Teach me the way of the river master.
please master teach me.
This looks really awesome, but I'm kinda sad Kennen didn't appear once in the entire video. I mean, he is still part of the Trio which keeps balance! I wish Riot would just give him a new splash art.
0:47 docta shen rockiin dem CROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCSSSSSSSS BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Did you guys hear what i heard in the end? 7:09 jhin-stantly. :O He was giving us info about new champ :D
I DIDNT NOTICE THAT ONE NICE
Jhin was featured in the video wtf...
This character cant get any more cooler than this.
wow,shen is so cool i gotta go and buy shen now!!!
DONT DO IT
REWORK TARIC AND YORICK!
Pretty sure Taric is either next or after mages
Patrick Ohazurike i hope so.
+Flaysoft Taric is literally next in line right now. He's the next project for reworks they're pushing out so you'll be seeing the new Taric hopefully in the next couple of months? If he's not released by then it should at least be info/reveal on his current state in the rework table
+Flaysoft They're next (on the big updates list- Like Sion and Poppy). Taric first- They've been working on him for over a year now. After Taric is done they'll fully shift onto Yorick, who has also been in development for quite a while, but not fully focused on. :d
i like yorick the way he is now but he could get some buffs to his ghould
One of the most hard to kill tank that can also kill you faster than my dad when he left me
Next joke please
Here for zhongli and w8ing for shen in wr
A new Main Shen since 2017
Yeah, I don't think Shen of all champions needed a rework. Also, really with that W? You decided to give kayle's game changing ult to someone, make it not an ult AND make it an AOE?
the W is not quite as easy to land as Kayle R, but yea there will be situations where it looks goddamned OP. it's gonna feel a bit like Kindred R too.
Gregory Samuel Teo Well, Kindred's R effects both teams which balances it out. Shen will just pop that bad boy out during any team fight, pretty much negating anything the other team does.
+Shady Doorags I think you mean Jax's E.
+Shady Doorags
From what i understand, it only negates aa, not spells.
digiangel234 Yes, but Jax's E can only be cast on himself.
Wait... Wait wtf why are they opening the video with Shurima music ?
Surgeon Shen wears Crocs, gg rito
2022? Since shen will be released in wild rift, i'd like to get heads up as a baron laner. Hope he'll be easy use.
He's here now, and yeah he's surprisingly easy to use.
This makes it seem like Shen is super strong
Is it just me or does Shen's model look HUGE?
+The Zecromancer Thats the point, he got a model size increase like alot of other tanks did
+The Zecromancer He's a ninja. But he's a tank. How do you make a ninja look tanky? Well, add some more-than-usual armor and make him look bigger overall.
+The Zecromancer Most reworks make champions larger, go back and look - even squishies like TF are much larger than they were. I think it's mostly for more readability and design space for the artists.
Why are they using Shurima/Azir's theme at the beginning? :o
I recently came back and I totally didn't know how to use his new Q. I miss the dagger throw
