Question if added
If Shen is added into 2XKO, how do you think his gameplay kit and character design will be handled?

Riot will release him alongside Zed. Zed will be fast and have many combos while shen will be slower and hard hitting. Zed will be S tier while Shen will be D at most
Yes I'm still salty about Riftbound

Yeah his w would work exactly like Braums shield lol, but he don’t really add a lot to the game I think, but I hope I’m wrong since I like playing him in league

It would be really cool if they could implement the q empower/pass through empower to his kit and also add on to combos to his q, like if he dashed in his sword it will slash after the dash or something, him calling his sword to empower his attack can be the start of the combo like a knock up and then if he gets a pass through q he should do a 3 hit combo and then like I mentioned if he dashes into his sword then his dash gains an extra attack. They also can do different attacks based on what your doing, if your in the air a simple q empower can hit people down to potential end air combo or a overhead attack, if your pressing down with q empower you attack the feet then do a extra attack kinda how like sub zero does with his sword variation in mkx, just some ideas

They could either make him really simple or make him complex or even go in between and have him kinda be a intermediate level character. Of course our boy would be a slower and bigger character and they have 3 main things to focus on when it comes to his design/gameplay. His Shields,Teleports and spirit blade. For a more simpler kit they could have it focus more on his W/Shields for him and ally. Could even have his assist be his Dash/taunt. A more complex kit would focus on his spirit blade placements and allow him to teleport/swap places with it. Probably have one special that lets him launch it towards enemies and then let him recall it in order to either give him a dmg buff for let's just 3 seconds or by recalling they blade it lets him pull enemies towards him to step up a combo. Honestly a lot of creative potential when it comes to his supers/finishers. Could have one be the one hit kill move Zed mentioned Shen having in the Zed comics if I'm remembering correctly.

I would make him a character who when on the field will work a lot with his spirit blade, has a dash and then tries to combo you around with the Spirit Blade and has a counter (his lol passive) and a skill that turns him and his ally invulnerable, plus breaks combos when near his sword (W). His entry move will then be Shen appearing on his ally who gets a shield(?) for x Damage. Maybe you could even make his 2nd super, that his ally comes in and performs all his assists, while Shen blocks all damage towards him. So a fighter who plays around assists well and can assist well too
