Champion Counter Shen
Discover all Top champions who counter Shen.
Top
When playing top lane, you should choose champions stronger than Shen, such as Darius, Teemo, Sett, Kayle, Olaf, and Gwen. They have an early game advantage over Shen with prolonged duels or long-range poke, making it difficult for Shen to farm and approach. However, Shen has an advantage over Pantheon, Malphite, Fiora, Renekton, Riven, and Jarvan IV due to his highly effective defensive abilities, shield creation, and auto-attack blocking.
When soloing with Shen at Top, keep your distance from him while your skills are on cooldown.
If Shen plays aggressively and tries to destroy you. Call on your teammates to gank and make Shen pay the price.
If you avoid Shen’s Shadow Dash you will have time to play aggressively and force him to lose more health.
If Shen uses his ultimate to support other lanes, try to cancel it with CC skill.
Support
Supports should find a way to prevent Shen from attacking your teammates. Use CC skills to capture and cancel Shen’s ultimate.
Shen is weak against supports that can hinder his ability to engage in team fights, such as Leona, Braum, Alistar, Morgana, Lux, and Janna. These support champions can stun, knock back, or protect their teammates. Conversely, Shen will be stronger than less mobile support champions who cannot protect their teammates well, such as Blitzcrank, Seraphine, Nautilus, Nami, Rakan, and Soraka.
Mid
In Mid, take advantage of long range to poke and harass Shen. If Shen is low on health, he will not be able to use his ultimate to support his teammates.
Choosing champions with long-range attacks and the ability to constantly poke, such as Brand, Jayce, Veigar, Lux, and Ryze, will allow you to push lanes quickly and kite effectively. Additionally, Galio’s crowd control makes it difficult for Shen to effectively initiate fights and support his teammates. Avoid choosing mages and assassins with low mobility such as: Zoe, Vladimir, Orianna, Vex, Fizz, Syndra.
