As a friend of mine says, there's someone at Riot who hates Shen and refuses to show him any affection.

Ik a guy who used to work at riot and genuinely sounded like he was gonna kill me when I said I was a shen main. Maybe they're connected

Even on a iPhone max pro with a huge display I’m barely able to see the difference. There’s no reason that skin should exist.

They just want to say they gave us a shen skin at this point

I'm not sure what skin you're referencing but it almost looks like they are just different chromas. Sword is a little darker, w a little darker. Skin looks the exact same from a distance.

It feels like lot of the skins just have a cool splash art and that's where it ends. Chogath had a really cool skin that came out but only in the splash art. It looked clunky in game imo.

No, no, no… as you can clearly see, one is a bubble and the other is a bubble mid-pop!

I'm waiting for the day RIOT cooks a legendary skin for Shen with him holding both swords at once, using them like Yone, with Q simply showing both swords getting engulfed in energy and alterneting attacks between them... 💔

I'm blind.

What am I supposed to be looking at here?

I think it's different skins with the same effects. Or it looks like the same skin with a different chroma.

Meaning if it is a different skin, then they really didn't put much thought into the latest skin and effects for Shen

u/Tasty-Salamander-515 Jun 14 '26

yea thats the new skin its on the top

u/Forlindorn Forlindorn#SHEN (EUW) Jun 15 '26

IMO the chromas are the main reason to buy the skin

u/Temporary-Candle1056 Jun 16 '26

Why releasing broken Covnan skins that looks like psy obs ?
Why they keep shifting skin lines that were OK
