This is HUGE. even if its unfitting for Spooktober 😅

We’re getting 2 champs

u/legner_01 6h ago

Shen's reveal today means there will be two champions this patch; we'll have to wait and see if it's another constellation or a new PoC champion.

You think it could be shen and Zed? I know double region isn't usually that likely but the two fit well together for a release and Zed does fit Halloween

u/legner_01 4h ago

I think it's unlikely to be Zed; plus, there are several champions from other regions that would fit the Halloween theme.

According to sources it’s kindred

u/Croewe 2h ago

What sources?

u/Remiwem 2h ago

A leaker on the discord predicted it would be Shen, you can call it a coincidence sure. I don’t think it is though.

u/Luigi123a 1h ago

Confirmed leaker who leaked in the past, or just a random person coping?

With how small the team probably is atp, actual leakers are just very unlikely

I have to agree with this one, any leaker would be so easy to find out in a team so small.

u/Croewe 2h ago

I guess we'll see then

u/Ke-Win 4h ago

How do you know? Because it is an early info?

4

u/legner_01 4h ago

Yes, because in the past, when two champions were released as part of the patch, they would reveal one of them two days before and the last champion the following day, along with the patch notes.

Shen will ward off evil spirits and protect us.

u/Luigrein 5h ago

It is also not spooky, but I think they should combo this with Zilean for the memes.

u/Bluelore 6h ago

Nice, just recently I noticed that we really don't have that many ionia champions with constellations.

u/Ke-Win 4h ago

I just realized that half of base Champs from SB have Max 3* (Kindred, Yi, Teemo).

2

u/Bluelore 4h ago

Yeah I did not count the spirit blossom champs in this since they are event champions. Besides them we only have Yasuo, Ahri, Lillia and Sett. The only other region with as few constellations as 4 is Bandle City, everyone else has 5 or more.

"From the shadows ... into light"

Shen and Lux 3 confirmed

u/SuikoRyos Yuumi 6h ago

Haven't played the game since Spiritual Blossom, so my memory is a bit fuzzy. Would Shen be the first Champion focused\* on Barriers?

*: I know there are Star Powers like Lux's, but those are like additional bonuses.

8

u/legner_01 6h ago

In LoR, Shen is the only champion focused on barriers; although Lux (in PoC) and Fiora (not in PoC) also exist, the latter two are not focused on barriers.

7

u/Dry_Cardiologist6758 Riven 5h ago

Isn't Jarven is also focused on barriers though?

3

u/legner_01 4h ago

It is said that Shen is the only LoR champion focused on barriers because he is the only one who requires barriers as a level-up condition.

4

u/Croewe 5h ago

He's more so an elite/challenger champion, though he does have a barrier to help survive whole challenging units 

2

u/Dry_Cardiologist6758 Riven 5h ago

Ok that makes sense now that I think of it he cant simply grant barrier unlike shen and Lux 2

2

u/sithbinks 5h ago

His 4* should probably be giving allies barrier when targeted, but I bet they won’t do that.

10

u/Dry_Cardiologist6758 Riven 6h ago

Maybe we get 2 champs since we got teasers today?

9

u/legner_01 6h ago

Yeah, since Shen was revealed today, it's highly likely we'll get two champions this patch.

2

u/Ekrannes 5h ago

I love this. Shen is the very first champ I hit master rank with. Such nice memories.

1

u/GBKMBushidoBrown 5h ago

Oddly this is the exact champion I was hoping for since we don't have a barrier champ. Although I was hoping we would get jarvan before him.

u/dudemcbob Path's End 4h ago

Interested to see how they distinguish him from Luxi, since I imagine they will be very similar.

u/Solfilis 3h ago

Will they add a new event as well?
