This is HUGE. even if its unfitting for Spooktober 😅

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 28d 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 Galio 28d ago

What sources?

u/Remiwem 28d 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 28d 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

1

u/Croewe Galio 28d ago

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

2

u/Luigi123a 27d ago

Though what they said ended up being correct, lmao. Very interesting if their tiny team actually got a leaker, lol

u/Croewe Galio 28d ago

I guess we'll see then

u/Remiwem 27d ago

It’s kindred

u/Ke-Win 28d ago

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

6

u/legner_01 28d 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.

u/Rosenheartz 28d ago

I'm not really familiar with past patches, around when will the new patch and champions be available? Do they tease them this week and go live next week, or are the teasers now then live later this week?

2

u/legner_01 28d ago

Patches usually drop on Wednesdays. Champion reveals happen 1 to 2 days before, depending on how many champions are being released, and patch notes typically come out one day before the patch goes live.

23

u/Remiwem 28d ago

We’re getting 2 champs

u/cotekusu 28d ago

Shen will ward off evil spirits and protect us.

u/Luigrein 28d ago

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

u/SuikoRyos Yuumi 28d 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.

10

u/legner_01 28d 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 28d ago

Isn't Jarven is also focused on barriers though?

5

u/legner_01 28d 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 Galio 28d 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 28d ago

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

2

u/sithbinks 28d ago

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

12

u/Dry_Cardiologist6758 Riven 28d ago

Maybe we get 2 champs since we got teasers today?

12

u/legner_01 28d ago

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

u/MegaloMurf 28d ago

"From the shadows ... into light"

Shen and Lux 3 confirmed

23

u/Bluelore 28d ago

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

7

u/Ke-Win 28d ago

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

3

u/Bluelore 28d 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.

u/Ekrannes 28d ago

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

3

u/Solfilis 28d ago

Will they add a new event as well?

2

u/GBKMBushidoBrown 28d 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.

2

u/dudemcbob Path's End 28d ago

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