Just a reminder: The game itself was developed by some of the people behind the hit Warcraft III mod Defense of the Ancients. It officially launched last October and has been adding new champions and content after its launch. You can check out all of the details on the new champion and exclusive screenshots of Shen in action after the jump:
Shen, the Eye of Twilight
Hero Type: Tank, support, fighter
Lore:
There exists an ancient order originating in the Ionian Isles dedicated to the preservation of balance. Order, chaos, light, darkness -- all things must exist in perfect harmony, for such is the way of the universe. This order is known as the Kinkou and it employs a triumvirate of shadow warriors to uphold its causes in the world. Shen is one of these shadow warriors, entrusted with the sacred duty of Watching the Stars - exercising judgment untainted by prejudice.

The Eye of Twilight sees not the despair of its victims, only the elegance of equilibrium.

Abilities
Shen is the first champion in the League of Legends to use energy to cast his abilities, rather than mana or health like most other champions. This system caps the maximum amount of energy Shen can have at 200 energy, and regenerates Shen's energy very rapidly (10 energy per second).
Vorpal Blade – Hits a target enemy for magic damage, and marks the target for allies to see. Allied units that attack the marked enemy target get healed over several seconds.

Shadow Dash - Shen dashes towards target location, taunting enemies he passes through.

Ki Strike (passive) - Every 10 seconds, Shen's next attack deals bonus damage based on his max health. Being attacked by enemy champions makes this passive occur more frequently.
