Tips Against Shen in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Wafflerush says “Shen is all about positioning with his Q. If you can play around his positioning and aggression by countering his E dash with your Q, he will miss out on some extra Q effectiveness since he won't be passing through you. Lots of short trades here. Just don't keep chasing him to the point he keeps recalling his spirit sword through you over and over... (his blocking aura can't block your E).”

TheMild1 says “Watch out for his sword as if it gets pulled through you he will have way more damage. Do not get taunted under his tower. Once he is about to get 6 you will want to pressure him to make him miss as much as possible if he ults. Ping your team if he has a good window to ult.”

Dragonlord1022 says “Grasp with Demolish and Bone Plating/Conditioning and Unflinching Cash Back D Blade → Refillable → Boots → Stridebreaker → Steraks/Black Cleaver - E start can mess you up, but if you E start too, you can mess him up in an extended trade - I find the trick to dodging Shen E is to hover your E to the side, when you expect him to E, from at least medium range - With Tiamat (eventually Stridebreaker) and Demolish, past level 6, you can out shove Shen so that when he ults or rests you can punish onto his turret. - Just remember his ult for latter stages of the game - Also if he has teleport, Shield Bash WILL DO a lot of damage with upgraded unleashed teleport”

DemicleasTTV says “3 Q > E MAX Absurdly strong early into very weak 6, You are an ant in the first levels compared to him but outscale very quickly. Just play safe and start to bully him. DONT TRADE EARLY!!!!!”

Saneryus says “Just watch out for his sword placement and try your best to not position between shen and his sword so that he can't slow you with his sword pull. Shen is just a statcheck matchup. You will lose every trade against him pre-6. XP > CS pre level 6. Once level 6, can farm. Just careful about his E (taunt) range as gettin taunted will automatically lose you the trade and rip 40-50% HP. Don't auto or E when he has his parry up, but you CAN Q him during parry. Make sure to SPAM PING your team once he hits level 6 so that your team isn't surprised when shen ults someone and to expect it. Once 11, stack your passive and you will win trades. Standard PTA DBlade (even though we aren't winning pre-6), Dblade will get more value than Dshield once you're level 6+ since shen isn't a poke champ). Once you're more experienced with this MU, I recommend swapping over to First Strike. ”
ObiW says “A battle of map pressure. It is hard to kill him, but you have superior wave clear. Shove the wave constantly with Q to keep him stuck under his turret. If he tries to Ult (Stand United) to another lane, punish him by taking turret plates or interrupting him with W if you are close. Crucial Interaction: His W (Spirit's Refuge) blocks your Empowered W auto-attacks. Never engage while his spirit zone is active. Focus on out-farming him and matching his roams.”
TENSION019 says “Take Grasp, Doran Shield, Ghost, and Teleport. He does not really do much. When he leaves lane with his ultimate, you can use Demolish to take turret plates and get free gold. Other than that, he cannot win trades against you.”

zwartebliksem says “Flash + Teleport I strongly prefer taking teleport into this matchup, since you can follow his ults much more easily. Be careful of his level 1, since he has a lot of damage on his empowered Q. Try to position yourself away from Shen and his blade. Level 2-5, Shen will look for cheese plays with his E taunt, then it's an easy empowered Q and finish the trade with denying your auto attacks using W. In this matchup, look for trades away from his blade or wait for him to mess up his E. When you are attacking into Shen's W, your W attacks will still be wasted. So try to go in using your Q + E combo, but don't auto attack. Then wait for his W to end and finish off with your W.”

GodofBoi says “Ne hagyd hogy autoattack rangebe kerüljön. és a tauntját is csak baiteld ki. LvL 6 után ultizni akar a csapattársára tower alatt, ha tudod akkor szakítsad meg a q-d al”

animavaagus says “Bait his W out for your auto attacks and do NOT forget to track his R for counter-ganking reasons”
L0ganJG says “Shen cannot kill you but unless he messes up you cant kill him. He will also ultimate someone around the same time you try to W2 them. So, it can be annoying playing against Shen. But usually he's a nonfactor to you if you dodge his taunt. E him out of his W ”
ludenbergangel says “His main strength is global peel with his R so always keep in mind if he has it and save your E to be ready to disengage from any fight if so as it easily can turn into a 1v2 for you”
Axsoowy says “Not only is killing him near impossible unless he griefs, picking off his teamates usually results in you dying due to his R. Best counter is to try to kill him on side with your team since if you try to kill his teamate he will tp. OR, predicting he will TP, prepare to disengage and let your top laner shove while he tp's away.”

Ashdod says “DEALS WAY MORE DAMAGE THAN YOU'D THINK DESPITE HOW TANKY HE IS. HE ALSO HAS AN ABILITY THAT BLOCKS AUTO ATTACKS SO BE CAREFUL AND MAKE SURE YOU CAN ESCAPE.”

Kukiziuu_ says “After red form, you easily win with him, because you have a lot higher DMG and huge healing, which he cant fight with, struggle begins vs blue kayn. Blue kayn got less dmg to tanks/bruiser, its very hard to manage vs shen, but it is possible to win with blue kayn too.”

SlothKou says “Shen's main counter to you is his taunt immune from auto combo as your Mist Walker's attacks are counted as autos. Once the taunt ends cage him, run away and hit him with your e”
