Who Wins

  • You lose early trades pre-6 due to Shen's Q empowered autos and W blocking your damage, but you scale better into the 1v1 post-6.
  • Your R gives you kill pressure and mobility to outplay his telegraphed E engage.

How to Trade

  • Look for extended trades using Q3 knockup into W shield, then E forward for additional damage before retreating with E2.
  • Avoid short trades where Shen can proc Q and disengage with his superior early damage.

Wave Control

  • Push waves early to build Q stacks and look for roam timings, as Shen will match your map presence with R.
  • After 6, maintain slow pushes to set up all-ins when his W is down.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't fight in his W zone early game as it negates most of your damage output.
  • Avoid using E aggressively without Q3 ready, as Shen can easily punish your return with E-Q combo.
