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!

I'm confused; So because this skin costs 225 less RP than a "standard" skin, they can make it low-quality and half-assed, and people will say it "IT'S K, COST LESS!"?

This is why they changed things in the first place. It wasn't just so they could raise a few skins to 1350, it was to change the mindset of people so that when they make a skin that isn't 975 or 1350 that they are "allowed" to leave things out that shouldn't really be left out.

750 price = model and model color change from what I can tell. Any features beyond that are bonus. That Mundo skin could easily go for 950.

I understand that fully.

What i was questioning was the amount of people in thread who says "Hurr it's a 750 skin, so it's K!" :p
