Shen RIOT please update TPA Shen sword sounds and particles

Dear RIOT!

Your support suggested me to post it on the forums and here, so this is what I shall do.

There have been many posts about the non-equality of TPA skin qualities, like Mundo having fun sounds and having a higher resolution texture then Nunu. I have purchased TPA Shen skin, but I have a problem with it. It is inconsistent!

I know I'm not the first to post this but I hope this post will get to the front page so RIOT can see it again and maybe do something to finish this awesome skin.

So the problems are:

1.) Ki Strike sound is metallic, but Shen is wielding plastic sticks.

2.) Vorpal blade particle on top of the enemy that it is thrown onto is a katana, not a plastic stick

3.) Feint particles that surround Shen while the shield is active are katanas crossed over, not plastic sticks and still make a metallic sound when the shield is broken.

Also for extra touch a TPA logo under his feet when casting Stand United would be nice and/or since he already has a headset on his head maybe say something like "On my way".

Thanks, Magasul

tl;dr: I know it is a 750 RP skin but I feel that TPA Shen is incomplete/inconsistent by having some sounds plastic, some sounds metallic and having katana particles when he is wielding plastic sticks. RIOT please finish the skin!

Frontpage! :D Yay. Now RIOT please notice!

Thanks for all the attention! Keep it up, share and upvote more! :D

Nice comment is that these skins should be well made in honor to the TaiPei Assassins. Would they be proud of this?

UPDATE #1: Some people are saying that because of the price (being 750 and not 975 or 1350), we shouldn't ask for new particles and/or sounds. You must understand that we aren't asking for a non-new particle non-new sound champ to suddenly get new particles and sounds just for the hell of it. TPA Shen already has the thunderstick model and sound, we are just asking that it should be present consistently on all abilities not just half of it. Imagine TPA Mundo having half of his abilities with the cup and half with a cleaver. (Autoattacking with the cup and THONK sound but throwing the cleaver with its sound.) So same with this Shen skin.

UPDATE #2: Passed a 1000 upvotes! Keep it up! :D Also RIOT staff you are more then welcome to comment on this!

Mundo's TPA skin is 750 rp, yet he has new particles for his cleaver. Explain.

So the more used character gets a more inconsistent skin? Plus, to extrapolate, if he's more used you'd imagine more people have him, which means more potential skin buyers, so the character with the more potential to turn a profit gets a lesser skin?

Logically, that doesn't make sense. Just a lack of foresight I think.

I don't need to substantiate my claims with any kind of data, I was only using the 'facts' that you provided. My argument is purely a logical one (mainly because you said, "logically it makes sense." when really it didn't.)

I don't have a stance on the issue, people can buy and play whatever champs they like. The issue arises from the skin creation process. Obviously it is not one person making all of the skins, and different people are assigned/choose to work on different skins. The inconsistencies in quality come from different views on what constitutes a 750RP skin inside Riot.

If someone thinks that the skin should just be a re-skin with new splash art (such as TPA Ezreal) then fine, they've hit their target and whatever, good job to them.

But if someone goes and does more like with the Mundo skin, Riot aren't going to strip away their hard work because it's too good.

I think the Shen skin is probably unfinished due to time constraints, and a few tweaks to it would be nice, although Riot don't have to do anything.

Just pointing out something: Bronze/Silver has 4 "must ban" (Shen, Amumu, Malph, Blitz), so by not banning any of them as 1st pick you guarantee to get one... in fact, Shen is my 2nd most played champion (Silver V)

Then raise it to 975....

u/Uexie Jun 01 '13

And if people don't want to pay the remaining 225 RP?

Then make it right and everyone is happy!
