How to Counter Sett with Shen in LoL

The stat comparisons shown on this page underscore some vital Shen vs. Sett counter stats that can help us grasp the distinctions between the pair. Shen’s KDA ratio ([kills + assists] / deaths) of NaN is more than Sett’s KDA ratio of NaN, demonstrating that Shen may be more central to his team's team fighting capability than Sett. This observation is largely a result of the differences in assists.

Shen normally has a slightly smaller longest kill spree than his counter does. Typically, he takes less damage than Sett. This typically indicates different amounts of tankyness, yet it can also indicate that the one champion has less agility and thus is not able to escape additional harm when poked or engaged.
