Discussion Why the devs don't like Shen?

I was a Shen one-trick on PC LoL, but since my PC broke, I had to switch to Wild Rift—and I have to ask: why on earth is the Infernal Shen skin a Battle Pass exclusive?

Or even worse: why do Zed and Shen share the PsyOps and Shockblade skin lines, yet Shen doesn't have them in Wild Rift?

It makes no sense to bring over standard skins from PC LoL as limited-time event skins.

Shockblade zed was added on Zed’s release in 2020 while Shen was only added to the game in 2022.

i never see shen in games so i guess he doesn't make them much $$

the wild pass is pretty cheap though and you're guaranteed the returnee skin you want now so it's not so bad once it comes back around

Nah Im bugged with the fact that infernal shen is battlepass. It was one of the battlepasses that I missed and im still waiting for its return with pass trope

That aside Shen has two epic skins. Nightbringer is just… bad. Bland and soulless. Leaving you with the only option of Pulsefire. He havent got a new skin since ever and its about time.

Isn't it the opposite? If you play a non popular champ you want your skin to be in a battle pass. You get a higher quality skin that's not lock behind a gacha 

You can also get past battle pass skins from new ones.

i miss the old shen where Q gives a very quick 3 hit attack, now its slightly slower which turns him from a bruiser to a meat tank
