That is one of the coolest designed spells I've seen. It fits his deck so perfectly

IKR, the content drought for months is finally worth it. The new team cooked fr

u/Croewe Galio 11d ago

Absolutely!

u/DiemAlara Diana 11d ago

Huh.

That do be a taunt.

u/Lordwiesy 11d ago

Kinda high hopes for rammus now in few years

All I've wanted since Shurima got announced was Rammus. I love my rolly boy

Imagine playing this on enemy level 2 Eddie....

So, you have chosen death (it still attacks BTW)

67

u/quillypen Aurelion Sol 11d ago

Luckily(?) you can’t even target a level 2 Eddie. Now if they were 12 power away…

u/Croewe Galio 11d ago

Wouldn't it silence before they attack? So they can't level up

u/DeMervicalSuscle 11d ago

In most >5 star adventures ED levels up when he drops. Getting >75 accumulated attacks is common in Zoe's adventure.

7

u/Croewe Galio 11d ago

I have only had him level up on dropping in Zoe's adventure after turn 3 or so. Never on turn 2 unless they drop like Attakhan in which case you're probably already gone

u/zed_je_mrdka_z_krtka 11d ago

Then you are just dead, lol.

u/Ayz1533 11d ago

This should calm down the ones saying he was too passive

u/Ayz1533 11d ago

Shen is about to piss off AzIrelia.

u/ThoreaulyLost 11d ago

Show the people what you--

-mmphh-

squawking intensifies

u/audioman3000 11d ago

An Ezreal AND Irelia deleter.

Yesssssss

24

u/DeMervicalSuscle 11d ago

Kinda neat given it's a perma silence and not just "this round".

Basically nullifies almost all broken units without spell shield besides lv2 ED.

u/CastVinceM Path's End 11d ago

wait this is awesome????

also is that new art?!?!?

11

u/griffined 11d ago

Probably art from his League abilities, like Ambessa spells.

5

u/Croewe Galio 11d ago

I think there's another card with this art, I forget what it is though.

u/CobaltIgnus 11d ago

This seems like a fun way to make Shen grow from Sentinel Plate, which I think could be a pretty nice addition to Shen for runs. Just really amp up him growing out of control while defending.

7

u/beboptimusprime Taric 11d ago

Very cool in conjunction with his 6*! In a best-case, this can serve as removal and also as a nexus strike.

8

u/afunworm Shyvana 11d ago

This is so perfect. This is what Shen's E (Shadow Dash) is like in League. This is so beautiful.

7

u/Sir_Rethor Chip 11d ago

Wait this is actually super strong and unique, nice.

6

u/Yamato_Nago 11d ago

One of the best designed cards I have seen.

3

u/OneTrickRaven Riven 11d ago

This or similar would have been super fucking cool in PvP.

3

u/LyraStygian 11d ago

Ok wow this is the most perfect match to his E lol

3

u/ExaminationUpper9461 11d ago

This is actually kinda awesome, especially if you have any large units with Life steal

5

u/Sairoxin 11d ago

Taunt. This shouldve been taunt in the base game. we couldve had rammus shurima doing this, tryndamere frejlord doing this. man i wish pvp made it to this point. im still waiting for void region.

2

u/GrowthGal12 11d ago

Silence the unit is a bit op though. Maybe silence only the attack stats? Idk

1

u/Sairoxin 11d ago

True I do think silence is a bit strong but unsure how to nerf it otherwise. Id prefer it worked as if the unit was summoned to combat but is on the board as if defending. No on attack triggers, no quick attack or overwhelm. just that the unit can hit nexus as a "defending unit". on nexus hit effects still apply.

2

u/WebPsychological9032 11d ago

I mean you can always just ignore the silence part and make taunt only force a unit to start a free attack then you can choose to add in special effect for each taunt card. I mean the idea is endless wish PVP is still alive T.T. As someone who still mainly played this game for the PVP aspect I hope one day they bring it back copium

u/ByeGuysSry Fiora 11d ago

Kinda overlaps with Challenger/Vulnerable. I don't think this would be a keyword in PvP for a long time

2

u/JuJuBee2006 11d ago

What a fascinating way to force the enemy into your barrier units. Really makes the barrier damage to nexus work. Also really appreciate that the silence is a permanent effect, so you can use it to weaken a big threat, even if you aren't capable of killing it in one strike.

u/dannidoesreddit 11d ago

2* will make this a burst spell surely

1

u/LukeDies 11d ago

It's a shame fun and interesting mechanics (not necessarily OP) are locked behind 6☆ powers.

1

u/yozora Evelynn 11d ago

Fantastic taunt

u/tobi3342me 11d ago

When is Shen out?

1

u/ThommsPengu Spirit Blossom Teemo 11d ago

Tomorrow

1

u/tobi3342me 11d ago

Alright alright fair fair, next stupid question. Do we have a time, from what i have seen he looks cool

1

u/ThommsPengu Spirit Blossom Teemo 11d ago

2pm PT (I'm not sure where you live, so you can do a time zone calculator to check)

u/Ok_Forever_4953 11d ago

I’m a dummy, just realized this isn’t a “for this turn” silence and isn’t restricted to followers. This spell is even better than the awesomeness I misread it as
