How do you beat Shen?

GlockHammer··1 votes·1,080 views

Between aa immunity and spammable shield how do you take this guy down? Forcing him into tower just seems a garbage strategy, it's like begging to get ganked and still, he retains great effectiveness even when losing out on some gold. So what's a viable strategy?

He has bad sustain and is also somewhat vulnerable before level 3. Try to shut him down before that if possible.

How is having a spammable shield and aa immunity bad sustain? :s Most champs have equally low effectivenes before they unlock that 3/4 of their kit.

Good point. However the shield has a cooldowns, it takes a bit to get energy back, and aa immunity only lasts so long.

Hmm, ok. Guess I'll have to buy him and try him out to know how he works.

He needs to play aggressively to win lane now, he can't just hang back and play safe very well. Poke to your hearts content.

Quinn with other words? I find it very hard to win trades against him with melee.

I do well against him with Lucian, actually.

Use your W to scare him into using the shield, then wait until it's down. Then go Q, aa, and then pull back. He'll start to chase you.

As he closes the gap, ult in his face. Every single shot. Use your E to catch up to him, then because of your passive, he's dead.

If you don't play Lucian, I don't know. xD

Oh lol I don't either. I only do this when he's split-pushing or something to stop him. I wouldn't take him top other than that though.
