Now im not the best player, ill admit that, but i have no idea how to lane against shen. I dont see him often, but when i do it isnt pretty. I usually die to him at least twice in lane an then have to play from behind. every time i go against him im a melee character like tryndamere or hecarim. If i try to play passively he pokes me out with his q and when i trade back he shields and sustains up. In light of this, i try to trade with him a lot, but even when i get him lowish he just sustains up with q and i eventually run out of pots and get pushed out of lane. i usually die from staying too long or being taunted into a jungler gank. is there anything i can do to beat him or at least survive?

Alot of damage / controlled burst.

He is a very small sustained tank that doesn't do any damage. Just keep hitting him as hard as he tries to CS. dont let him Q lane minions / auto them for regen.

Try picking someone with great base damages who is or can be rather tanky. Having built in sustain is nice too, but it's not required. Some CC to stop his ult is nice too.

wait for him to farm with Q and then let him have it, be wary of his E though. Also try to avoid an engage when his passive is up.
