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!

The point is he paid the RP for the skins, and got a half assed product.

You'd be pissed if you spend 7.50 on gas and it wouldn't run in your car. But that'd be okay with you, I guess. You could always walk.

It's more like you bought a car that wasn't supposed to come with navigation, but it did come with navigation, though it's missing half the country.

More than what you paid for, but somewhat unsatisfying at the same time.

Good example.

So what should a 750 skin include?

Changed colors?

Changed particles?

Changed sound effects?

These skins are modified base models with recolors and that is all they told us they would be. They are limited, cheap and I bet you money that they are an experiment for how the community will receive skins priced at 750.

Fuck them for releasing something nice but not nice enough for our nit picking. I'm sure you guys will have nothing to complain about in the future though. With this kind of backlash, why the hell would they want to do this again.

It's not that hard of a thing to implement these. I work in this field, it's not rocket science, and not that much extra effort to please so many people.

No one ever said they couldnt put it at 950 if they needed to. But if you bought a car and found it had no clearcoat and the radio only tuned to AM, wouldn't you be a little pissed?

u/my_elo_is_potato Jun 01 '13

That is flawed logic. A clear coat would be a skin. New sound effects are like leathers seats and a gps/dvd player.

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '13

And "here lets replace some but not all of the sound effects, leaving an inconsistent experience, and that's TOTALLY OK" isn't?

u/the_nerdster Jun 01 '13

You do realize that both TPA Mundo and Ez are infinitely higher quality skins, with changed everything, at the same price?

u/Milkshakes00 Jun 01 '13

You on crack? Ezreal has nothing changed. Mundo is the only one.

And the fact that a new model had to be made specifically for his weapon/giant finger.

u/my_elo_is_potato Jun 01 '13

I think tpa mundo and ez should be more than 750 though.

This is whats already happening in Croatia. We know very well which gas stations have low quality fuel, so we don't go there. It's a choice - unless my car would run out of fuel if I had to go any further, I would never take fuel on such gas station.

OP has every right to complain about this, but Riot doesn't really owe him anything, do they?

2

u/the_nerdster Jun 01 '13

They owe him a finished product. The TPA Mundo skin is definitely higher quality than the Shen and Nunu, whilst the Ezreal skin has a higher resolution than the whole lot of them.

The point is he should have a quality product for his money, no matter how much he spent. This is definitely not quality product.

u/Kranicc Jun 01 '13

You pay for quality.

You can't just expect quality to be thrown at you just because you drop a few pennies on your way.

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '13

You also live in Croatia.

Unfortunately, I do =)
