Shen can't even beat Akali and he is her master!?

This is ridiculous how every single move Akali has overpowers Shen in top lane, she invalidates all of Shen's strengths. This is fucking ridiculous, how am i supposed to beat an Akali top lane as Shen?

Her smoke lasts way too fucking long and her crit/lethality overpower any armor i build, i went almost full armor and still couldn't beat her in a 1v1 fight, tried timing shield and sword at just the right moment, its fucking useless because her smoke bombs last too long and she hops around too fast for shen to do anything about it. He misses 1 E-Dash and he's fucked.

Either Nerf Akali or Buff Shen.

I guess my first question would be how does Shen beat anybody in the top lane? No really, I’m serious. How does Shen win anything the way he is?

I haven’t seen a Shen win lane since the Mets won the World Series.

I just don't like how turrets can't even target akali in her e. How am I supposed to sit under turret and play safe if she can dive me easily with it up.

Current Shen is a total failure in terms of lore and gameplay. The only thing he's got going for him is the ult really.

To be honest, as an ex-Shen main, I think he's hot garbage right now. I don't mean winrate - his entire kit is intuitive, gets punished too easily, and isn't that fun to play (especially when laning)

I don't think he needs a straight buff, he needs another rework.
