How We Analyze Our Counter Shen Data

We analyze millions of League of Legends games each week, pulled directly from Riot Games, to determine the best and worst Shen counters. At this moment, our detailed counter Shen data is based on 16,068 recent games and will show you which champions have the highest and lowest win rates against him.

Shen Counters Summary

In the selected top position, Shen does very well against Quinn and Irelia, with win rates of 59.1% and 57.0%, respectively. Shen an excellent counter pick to both champions. Conversely, he is a poor matchup in top lane when fighting Sett and Mordekaiser. Be careful about playing Shen into either of these two matchups.

Shen Counters Summary (Continued)

The best champs not in lane to counter Shen include Zeri, Aphelios, and Ezreal. These picks are all good at countering Shen with high win rates over 65%. Even if these Shen counter picks are not used in your lane, it's not smart to choose him into these matchups. They will usually destroy Shen.

Conversely, if the opposite team brings either Tahm Kench or Ryze, you should strongly consider taking him, as he easily crushes these champs with win rates over 55% against each ofthem.

How to Counter Shen

Be wary when ganking because Shen can sheild your target and then TP there with Stand United. Make sure you're ready to potentially fight 2 champions if you initiate on 1.

Shen counters a lot of squishy carries. His Ult will allow him to join the fight and lock down any nearby enemies with his taunt.

Additionally, Shen counters many ADCs with his AoE Spirit Refuge (W) ability by blocking all incoming auto attacks within range of his blade.
