Who is Better, Yone or Shen?

Both LoL champs are great. Both have their strengths, weaknesses, and counters. In League's current meta, Yone usually loses when trying to fight Shen, with a 47.9% win rate. As a result, Yone makes a poor counter for Shen.

While Yone does have a lower win rate than Shen, when on opposite teams, Yone also has a much greater learning curve that makes him a more time consuming character to pick up and master. You should expect to face a difficult match when picking Yone into Shenas his relative depth means that you may not be able to reach his full potential without a lot of practice beforehand.

Moreover, Yone also has almost no amount of CC and other utility, a similar amount to Shen. This often makes her just as valuable during team fights, especially when facing champions with a lot of burst damage.

While there isn't one best champion for every situation in League of Legends, in Yone vs Shen matchups, Shen is the better champ with a lower win rate, more champion depth, and a similar amount of utility to help out your allied champions during teamfights.

Yone is a garbage counter for Shen. Focus your tactics on maximizing your CS and destroying objectives. If you can do that, you should be able to stand on your own as Yone against Shen.
