Aatrox is pretty hard matchup. You need to dodge his q's crits and build bramble vest in early. Remember, you can cancel his passive damage with w, but he takes heal.
Gangplank
This is my ban for everygame. This man is scary. With his q range, he pokes you and you need to block it with your passive shield or w. But he scales so big and his w counters your all-in's. I suggest you ban it.
Akali
A good Akali player can beat every laner. Try lvl 1 poke against her. In this matchup, positioning blade is the most important thing you will do. Block her passive auto's with w. After 6, don't all-in to her. She is powerful than you after lvl 6.
Sett
Block his auto's and Q's with your W. Dodge his W's true damage part with sidestepping or using E. After 6, look for short trades. When he is low HP, all-in him. But be careful, he can still kill you with an good ulti and W.
Darius
Try to go forward baiting for his Q and backing off without getting hit whenever you can. If Q is on CD, then you can go for short trades, blocking his W with your W and getting out of there asap. Never do extended trades in this match-up except if he's already low and you KNOW you can kill him before he kills you. If you’re in the middle of a trade that looks good for you HP-wise, then once he starts Q’ing, E inside the middle of it to deny most of the dmg and all of the healing.
Fiora
Be wary of her vitals, but do small grasp trades whenever you have passive up and she goes for a lasthit. You should almost never use your taunt in this matchup except to disengage or to go in on her if she wastes her W for some reason. But you should be able to outtrade her lvl 2-5. It’s fine to rush Bramble Vest in this matchup.
Gnar
Stand behind minions / juke his long range Q’s. Stay back most of the time except the time you walk up to last hit. Deny his poke with your shield and your W, never let him proc his W and it should be survivable. If you’re getting pushed in, then look for/threaten taunts while he’s under your tower. If you’re gonna all-in any time that’s not under tower, do it either when his bar is low or optimally right when he turns from big to small.
Illaoi
It’s possible to win trades if you bait out her E without getting hit, but once you get even a bit low trading vs her becomes risky since her hitting 1 E can mean you get pushed out of lane. If you hide behind your minions it’s also possible to do short 1-grasp-auto trades when you got your shield up, since your shield will eat up her W (but you have to dodge her Q’s)
Jayce
Jayce is one of the few champions you’ll never be able to take good trades with early few levels (1-3) even if you get onto them with several empowered Q’s, just because he’s got too many abilities early on with his 2 forms. So your goal here is to just survive early on and get as much farm as you can while staying healthy using your passive shield. Most Jayces push you into towers, and a little later on around lvl 7 you’ll have kill potential on him if you manage to land a taunt while he’s under tower if you’re still healthy. You’ll likely need to use TP to lane in this matchup, but that’s fine if you stay close to the farm since he scales poorly. If the Jayce walks up to poke you inside of your creep wave it’s possible to punish him even at lvl4+ by taunting in.
Karma
Contest the push lvl 1 with Q, because you wanna avoid being pushed under tower in this matchup. It’s possible to taunt onto karma for some empowered Autos, but she will trade back heavily onto you when you run away. But it’s worth it to take even trades so you’re both kinda low around the same HP, because then your all-in will be able to take her down before she gets to trade back onto you. If you’re losing early trades, then try to just farm it out until later where you get titanic. Then you should be able to trade well unless you’ve already died earlier.
Kennen
The #1 priority is to stay as healthy as you can during the early lvls. Do this by staying far back whenever there’s no minion to last hit, and to utilize your passive effectively whenever you walk up for CS. The only time you’ll ever have kill pressure on him is if you get a well-timed taunt on him under your tower. Then it can be possible to chase him down. If you get jungle help, make sure to start off with instantly taunt-flashing onto kennen to setup your jungler. If you don’t do that he’ll just be free to E / Flash away and he’s hard to catch
Neeko
I don’t really know how to deal with this matchup tbh. Her W and E are really good to deny you from taunting in for trades, and her poke is really strong. And she runs away from ganks with W super quick and roots the jungler with E. I think the best thing you can do it just to try your best to farm while staying as healthy as you can (gl) and hope she makes a mistake under tower and opens herself up for a taunt. If not, then just accept the lost lane and try to help other lanes out with R.
Quinn
Try to survive and stay healthy best you can lvl 1-3, using your shield to farm. Lvl 4+ you can look to all in her if she uses her E wastefully to poke you, but this lane is mostly about surviving and saving your TP so you can R away and help others. She scales poorly unless she manages to snowball herself. Remember to ping your midlaner if she’s lvl 6+ and goes missing. She’s fast.
Rumble
It’s hard to position the blade up in this matchup since he’ll burn you for it, but try best you can if he gives you chances. The only times you can trade are lvl2+ when he’s just used his Q to farm or poke. If you’re not already lower than him at that point you can taunt in and go for a 3 quick emp auto’s and then backing out. He’s one of the best champions at trading back while you’re running out though, so you need to make sure you do enough damage to him initially for it to be worth taking the dmg while disengaging. The best way to kill him is honestly to ask for a gank, rumble has a really hard time surviving them, since he perma pushes and has no movement ability.
Ryze
Try to contest the push early while staying as healthy as you can. If he lets you push so you get lvl 2 first, then look for a taunt while he’s still lvl 1, if he doesn’t let you, then just keep farming while positioning your Q as far up as possible and looking for chances to drag it through him and look for a taunt lvl 3+. If you get a good start to trades you can win early game vs ryze, and you need to do this because he will outscale you. There’s a lot of difference between a good and a bad ryze. This matchup can be one of the easiest if he gives you openings to take extended trades, or hard if he doesn’t.
Camille
Force use of your slightly longer attack range when she’s last hitting. Whenever she uses E to jump you, instantly press both Q and W to deny her, and trade back for a second before backing out. IMPORTANT: Always stay far enough away from the walls so you can always react with the Q+W presses in ime when she E’s.
Cassiopeia
Most Cassio's use their Q's constantly trying to poke you as soon as you get into their range. Use this fact to bait out Q's and turning around at the last second before you enter her range so you don't risk getting hit. When she misses a Q, look for chances to go for a taunt into 3 emp Q's trade and then back off. If the cassio plays this matchup perfectly it's not much you can do, but almost everyone does a mistake eventually if you look out for it. If your jungler comes it's also a freekill if you just taunt-flash her. She can't get away.
Cho'Gath
Contest the push lvl 1 with Q and try to hit lvl 2 before him. if you do, just taunt him and hard trade lvl 2, preferably with the 6-Emp auto trade if you can position the blade correctly before you hit lvl 2. Avoid getting into long trades where he gets to E-auto you 3 times (if you’re equal levels), and don’t get hit by Q’s and you should win this lane every time early on. Punish your lead hard, don’t let him free farm once you got one.
Diana
Try to get a slow push early to hit lvl 2/3 spikes first. If she uses Q or W to contest the push you can freely trade, and if she doesn’t you will be able to hit lvl 2 before her and can instantly taunt in (same on lvl 3 spike). Also always look for short trades (or single grasp auto's) once she has used her emp. passive auto on creeps
Dr. Mundo
If he walks up to creeps to last hit you should be able to force winning trades early on and push the advantage. If he constantly stays back and farms with Q, then be an evil mastermind and bodyblock the cannons and some melee minions with your
passive shield whenever it’s up until he grows angry and walks up to last hit after all (and you force trades again)
Garen
Position the blade up constantly, try to force short trades where you W (or passive shield) his Q dmg and auto him a few times with your Emp. Q’s. Repeat until he gets low and force him out of lane.
Gragas
You should be able to simply force trades in this matchup at every early lvl (1-5). Since he can interrupt your taunt with his E, you want to just trade with Q's until he uses it, or if you're close enough you know he won't be able to react to the taunt. One special thing to keep in mind is that if he E's you past lvl 3, then try to instantly press Q-W, to deny his W auto while you're CC'd, and then keep kiting/trading him.
Hecarim
As long as you don’t get into very extended trades where he gets to use his stacked up Q over and over you should win all trades in this matchup. Do either very short or decently short trades until he’s around half hp, then you can all in him with an extended trade if you’re still healthy. Just be careful early on if he’s running ignite/tp.
Heimerdinger
This one is rough, he’s constantly pushing you in and poking you under tower, and taunting him is too risky in most situations. The only saving grace is that your W blocks his turret auto’s, which can be helpful to survive. If you survive the lane without dying you will be impacting the game more than heimer soon enough with your R’s.
Irelia
The single most important thing vs irelia early on is to trade before she gets to stack up her passive. With the passive stacked up she can just chop you down and kill you, but without it you’re free to take short but really efficient trades whenever she goes for a last hit (starting lvl 1). And with every good early trade her opportunities to contest for the lane gets less and less. If you play the first 2 levels correctly it then shouldn’t matter if you fail to dodge one of her stuns, since she won’t be able to all in you from it anyway
Jax
You need to punish Jax super hard early on to keep him from scaling. Similarly to the irelia.matchup a a key thing is to force trades before he’s fully stacked up his passive. Just drag the Q through him and start going at him, and the moment he presses E you want to stand inside him and taunt backwards so he doesn’t get the stun off on you. That way he gets 0 value out of his E and you can just keep trading. And without his E jax is basically useless early on which is why this is such a free matchup.
Kayle
Contest the push with Q lvl 1 while trying to shield her poke. Lvl 2-5 you should be looking for extended trades with 6 empowered auto’s whenever you can and push her out of lane or kill her. Try to get the blade up the lane while farming and when she walks up to get the Q on you drag the blade through her to shield the damage and taunt onto her while she’s slowed and walk with her to Q again.
Kled
Contest the push lvl 1. The whole early laning phase you wanna try to bait out his Q (mounted) and dodge it. If you do you’ll have a window where you can freely win trades with your empowered Q’s. If you get hit, you just walk backwards to deny the second activation and it’s not too bad. You’ll win short trades with your Q’s and W’s while saving your Taunt for disengage if he dashes at you. But NEVER go for an all-in vs him unless you’ve already dismounted him twice or he’s low enough that you’re 100% sure you can kill him before he remounts
Lee Sin
lvl 1 is a bit scary with his E slow + passive + Conq, so never let him extend the trade lvl 1. Try to get the slowpush still, while only taking 1 auto trades using your extra range. Lvl 3 is when you start winning the short trades really hard if you get a dragthrough and use W early (saving E to taunt out), but lvl 2 is do-able too. Never taunt forward unless you got lvl advantage. Stay behind your minions during trades as much as possible to deny him free Q’s. Be patient, if you overforce it will backfire, but also grow your lead lvls 3-5.
Lissandra
Contest the push lvl 1. If she tries to poke you with Q instead of pushing, you'll hit lvl 2 first and can go for an insta-taunt and outtrade her. If she uses Q to push lvl 1 you'll stay healthy while contesting the push evenly with Q's, which lets you start trading lvl 2-5. Just be sure to ward and keep in mind where the enemy jungler could be, since Liss has really good gank setup and can chase you down.
Lucian
Contest the push early on while soaking some of his dmg with your shield. Avoid getting close to him every time his double-shot is available. He’ll only have really scary dmg if he uses his E to chase after you, but that’s also when you have your chance to go back at him. If he dashes forward while you have both W and E up you can taunt him and use W to deny him while pummeling him with emp. Q’s and you should win the trades. And if he doesn’t E onto you, then just farm. He’s the one that wants to punish you early on and if he’s not able to do that you’ll have more impact later on.
Malphite
Malph’s trading patterns are very predictable, and he’s got no way of stopping you from just taking short grasp-Q trades when he’s farming. Try to block his Q’s with your shield, and keep poking him down until he’s low enough for you to go for an extended trade. Make sure you don’t go for the all-in too early, because his atkspeed-reduction + his W dmg is strong in those situations.
Maokai
Position your blade, make 1-2 emp. Q auto’s and apply your grasp whenever it’s up, and back out, and repeat. You’re simply so much stronger all early levels than he is, abuse it to the max with short trades. The only thing you should be careful about is taking longer trades inside a minion wave, since he can lock you down for a long time with W + Q, while healing himself up with the passive. So keep short trading him down for every CS he goes for until he’s low enough for you to all in him.
Mordekaiser
His Q windows are kind of telegraphed, so make sure not to get hit by it too many times. Either shield it or juke it. Try to force extended trades with 6 emp. Q auto’s. And if he misses /his E-grab at any point you can force trades even harder. He’s also one of the easiest champs to gank, so if you call your jungler up there he’s got no way out. The matchup can get tricky if he ends up ahead of you, but until then you should be winning trades if played correctly.
Nasus
Nasus is the single a weakest top lane matchup early few levels. Combined with how strong shen is early on you shouldn’t let him take ANY cs for free. Position your blade up the lane constantly while dragging it through him and trade every time he goes for a last hit. He should be forced to last hit only with his E if you play it correctly. Try to get a freeze going if possible, but if you end up pushing (which it will often do if you force trades) then it’s possible to use the “Towercrash exploit” very effectively against nasus to poke him down under tower while not taking much dmg back.
Nocturne
His passive heals quite a lot, so you either need to take super advantageous trades or make sure to keep trading to stop him from healing up. Lvl 2 onwards you can trade with emp. Q's and use your E to disengage once he tries to prolong the trade. Use your W early in the trades.
Olaf
The first 2 levels is just about surviving and farming safely. He’s strong in all-in’s and his axe throwing can easily chase you down if you ever taunt him without killing him.Lvl 3-5 you can manage short trades whenever you got everything up. Deny his tradeback with W and just run back after the short trade. Repeat this until he’s low enough that you can kill him with 1 rotation, be wary of his lifesteal while low. Again, important: Never taunt forward unless he’s basically dead. He’s an easy gank pre-6.
Ornn
Contest the push lvl 1. If you hit lvl 2 first all-in him. Otherwise you can go for short trades soaking his burn dmg with your passive. But it’s mainly lvl 3+ you’ll start winning trades hard. Go up with your emp Q’s and start attacking him, and when he applies his “thing” onto you with his burn and prepares to do the special auto on you, just deny it last second with W and keep trading for a little bit then back off. Once you start getting a health lead you can start to taunt onto him and force trades while still blocking his special auto with your W.
Pantheon
Lvl 1-2 is hard. If he lets you have the push early, then push, but he can stop you from doing that if he knows how to punish you correctly. If he knows, then just let him push and try to survive lvl 1-2. Try to force trades extended trades lvl 3+ if his passive isn’t stacked up, since his Emp. Q is very scary poke. When doing this, remember not to taunt before he uses E, so you can taunt behind him to do dmg (if you use taunt and he still has E after you’re screwed). He’s easy to gank if your jungler comes. Your R is also better and more reliable than his for roaming.
Poppy
Shield or avoid her passive auto’s. Trade when her passive shield is on CD. Bait out her Q’s by walking up and back again so they don’t hit you. Don’t stand near walls. Do short grasp trades and basically never use your E except if her W is cd or you’re winning a trade and you’re already inside her model so she doesn’t have time to react. If played cleanly you should be winning trades in this matchup.
Rengar
Since he sits in the bush except when he lasthits a minion or jumps on you, your only window to take good trades is when you know he’s gonna jump for a lasthit. Walk up beforehand and prepare yourself to make 1-2 Q (Emp if possible) auto’s and then backing off out of his range if he tries to get back into the bush. Be wary of him when he has full or close to full ferocity stacks, and trade more when his bar is low or empty. Lvl 3+ you wanna deny his Q’s with your W and taunt out (through him if possible) if he tries to extend the trade. Once he’s much lower than you you can start going for extended trades instead.
Riven
Contest the push lvl 1. Go for 1 auto Q trades lvl 1, and then back out. Position your blade up constantly throughout the lane. Never taunt in aggressively unless it’s super clear your gonna win the trade, she’s good at chasing you down. Lvl 3+ is when you’re gonna start winning the trades while both your W and E are up. Use W early on in the trade, and if she tries to keep trading when it ends just taunt backwards (through her if you can) and wait for them to be up again. You’ll win trades this way, and if she tries to just not trade you, just force her to by making an Emp Q auto every time she walks up for a lasthit
Singed
As long as you can keep him from proxy farming this is a really good matchup, while it becomes terrible for shen if he gets to do that. So focus hard on trading the first couple of levels and punish him for his weak early game. If he tries to walk into your wave to apply his Q, punish him with emp. Q’s. Both short and extended trades work vs him, just make sure to be aggressive. You have kill threat on him early.
Sion
Contest the push lvl 1. Take short grasp trades, and if you’re very close to him and he starts charging his Q past lvl 2, then just instantly taunt him to interrupt it and take a good trade.You should win extended trades using 6 emp. auto’s as long as you don’t get hit by a long-charged Q. Only start going for the extended trades after you hit lvl 3 though, short trades before then. Be mindful to not die to his passive if you kill him.
Swain
He’s slow, immobile and squishy. As long as he doesn’t have a big minion wave or you’re already poked down, you should win extended trades pretty hard vs him, so contest the push early on and try to get lvl 2 before him. If you do, just taunt in instantly and trades with emp. Q’s. If not, you can still look for taunts, but then you have to make sure to dodge his root while disengaging after the trade. While pressuring him, remember to position the blade up the lane for even better trades when you can drag it through him. He’s also an easy gank for your jungler.
Sylas
Contest the push lvl 1, and if he uses his Q to push, then just run at him and trade with empowered Q’s. If he doesn’t, then taunt in (or zone if he backs off) at lvl 2 and keep trading throughout the lane using extended trades. Position the blade up a lot.
As a general rule Sylas does a lot of dmg in short bursts, but once he’s used up all his abilities and passive auto’s, he’s very very weak with long cd’s. Meanwhile Shen will quickly get his Q back in the extended trade and wins it out in the end.
Tahm Kench
Look to short trade often with either a couple of emp. Q's or just a single grasp auto. Try to do this while standing behind one of your minions to deny him from Q'ing you. If it ever seems like you will get 3 stacks onto you, taunt away before it happens. Only use your taunt aggressively if you have a big HP lead already and know he cant turn on you and kill you with 1 combo.
Teemo
Just survive the first 2 levels. If he ever uses his blind to poke you, you can win the all-in by taunting onto him and using 3 emp Q’s. If you manage to not die or fall too much behind in CS early on, you’ll have more impact on the game than him just by R’s. Save TP if you can early on so you can R freely and get back, since he will be pushing you in constantly
Trundle
Take small trades over and over early levels. Try to contest the push best you can while doing so, so you can hit lvl-ups at the same time or before him. The way Trundle trades is very distinct and easy to predict and play around. He's gonna start with Q'ing you, so just make sure you either block it with your passive shield or your W. Never go into a longer trade until the HP difference is big enough so that you know you can kill him if he commits. Also make sure to NEVER use your taunt aggressively after he's lvl 6 with R up. You'll always die. But lvl 1-5 is good for you, punish him hard.
Tryndamere
Here you wanna abuse him every time where he’s not stacked up his rage-bar yet, starting level 1. Place your blade up the lane and pummel him with Emp Q’s when he goes for a CS abusing your superior range. He can and will chase you if he gets the chance, so don’t let him. You win short trades lvl 1-2 if played correctly, but lvl 3+ it’s impossible to lose the short trades utilizing your W. Just position the blade, walk up and trade with Emp. Q’s and W and then walk back when W ends. If he tries to extend the trade by E’ing into you, then just deny him with a disengage taunt. He’ll lose trades so hard he can’t even close to heal back up. NEVER TAUNT IN FIRST.
Urgot
If he ever misses his Q while trying to poke you while you’re level 2+, you can taunt in and win trades and then back out. Your W is very effective in blocking his machine gun W, but if you stay for too long he’ll eventually outtrade you, so do medium sized trades and back out and repeat. Try to contest the push early on if he lets you, since if you get lvl 2 / 3 before him you get free trade windows. But if he pushes you in you’ll have to sit under tower trying to survive early.
Vayne
Try to stay healthy early 3 levels while still walking up to CS when you have your passive up. You can’t stop her from pushing you in, so just let her push you to tower and farm best you can the early couple of waves. If she gives you a chance to taunt her under tower, great. If not, then you can start winning trades lvl 4-5 anyway if she ever tumbles in to poke you just instantly taunt her and pummel her with Emp. Q’s. Try to never make it obvious when you’re gonna taunt her, or she can just deny you with her E.
Viktor
Viktor lacks consistent dmg in longer trades, and want to whittle you down slowly, so this matchup is all about forcing trades as much as you can past lvl 3. Use W to block his Q-auto. Try to just farm while staying as healthy as possible lvl 1-2 and you should
be able to start hard winning trades lvl 3-5, since he can't really poke you without walking into taunt range. He's also an easy kill if you taunt-flash onto him when your jungler is ganking.
Vladimir
Try to push with Q early on so it pushes slowly into him while blocking his Q’s with your passive shield. If you managed to push faster, then walk up to him right before you hit lvl 2 and instantly taunt in when you hit 2 for a trade. If he picks E lvl 2 keep punishing him. Once he has his pool it’s all about forcing him to use it by taunting in for a trade, and then using the long pool CD of 28 seconds to taunt in again once your taunt’s up again. Position the blade up the lane between the taunts, so you can get the initial slow with Q.
Volibear
Voli has 2 ways of winning the early lvls: 1) To push you in. 2) To hit his E which both chunks you and heals him. So if you focus on getting the push lvl 1 and you’re careful to not get hit by his E, you should be able to take short trades with him throughout the early lane and slowly chunk him down 1 trade at a time. Always save your W to block his Q and just wait out the E shield before you trade.
Wukong
You should win trades every single level pretty hard up until lvl 6. Abuse that to the max. Slowpush lvl 1. Start doing short trades lvl 1 with Emp Q’s and your shield, and if you hit lvl 2 first then taunt in for a trade. If you don’t hit it first, just keep short trading with Q and save E until he commits or uses his W. Lvl 3 you win even harder if you use your W to block his Q. You have huge kill threat in this lane if you play trades well.
Yasuo
Be careful to not take extended trades lvl 1-2. Only do short trades when you have a full minion wave he can’t fight inside. Once you hit lvl 3 though, you can start winning trades using your W and keeping your E for disengaging if he ever tries to all-in you. Once he grows low and you wanna finish him off but he’s dashing around everywhere, a tip to hit your taunt is to look which minion is the obvious “dash-target”, and once he starts that E just instantly taunt the spot he’s gonna arrive at.
Yone
Slowpush lvl 1. Trade onto him if he uses his Q’s to push. Focus on getting lvl 2 first while staying as healthy as possible if he uses his Q’s to poke. The only Yone Q’s in this matchup you can’t allow to hit are the 3rd Q’s, so learn how long the exact reach is and stay out of it when it’s up. After lvl 3 you can just taunt him every time his 3rd Q is used up, use W and atk him 3 times with Emp Q’s and then disengage (he will poke you a bit on the way out but not enough to make the trade worth for him). Repeat this process until you can commit for a kill.
Yorick
Get the slowpush early and place the blade up. The biggest risk in this matchup is to get 100 to 0’d (or close to it) if you ever taunt in for a trade and then get boxed in when you try to back out. So never use the taunt aggressively unless he’s already in kill range OR you’re getting a gank. If he ever uses his E to poke you and misses, that’s when you can walk up to him and trade with short grasp Q’s (and keeping taunt for disengage if needed). He’s an easy gank if your jungler comes.
Zac
The only thing in Zac’s favour early game is his healing. So get the slowpush lvl 1, trade hard whenever you can and do not let him farm for free. Punish him constantly. And once you’ve taken him to half, do NOT let him heal up again with his passive. Keep the pressure up and stepping on his blobs. The only way you lose this lane is if you die to a gank, so remember to ward and respect the enemy jgl when he’s topside.
Zed
If some autofilled mid laner dare pick Zed into your Shen, make sure he never does it again. Only let him farm with Q, looking to punish him every time he steps up to auto one. You hardwin trades lvl 1-5 even if he hits everything, but he probably won’t if you’re decent at sidestepping his Q’s or staying behind your creeps.
Kha'Zix
I'm in love with good Kha'zix players when i'm playing Shen. They got pretty good synergy. He can gank you easily, thanks to Shen's E. If Kha'zix uses his Ulti in fight, you can Ult him and it doesn't reveal him. Such a booster tactic.
Hecarim
He's pretty strong right now. And Heca got good synergy with Shen. He can push your opponent to you, and you can pull your blade through your opponent or E him. It's good playing Shen with Heca, cuz of his ult and your ult synergy.
Shaco
Same with Kha'zix. Still i prefer Kha'zix but even so, Shen - Shaco still have good synergy.

Hi, I'm qosmox. I'm an Grandmaster player and Rank 1 Shen in TR. I hit Master 207 LP in EUW in S11. Shen is pretty strong toplaner. His Q makes him very powerful if your blade positioning is correct. And he is the champ, who needs most map awareness. That's all, Have Fun!
Gameplay and Gameplan
Gameplay
If you aren't leashing your jungle, go to riverbush or tribush (tribush if blue side, riverbush if red side) and pull your sword. If your opponent leashing his jungle, stay there and wait a little bit. If your opponent approaching to bush(to you) pull your blade through him and fight a little bit. This tactic called 'Cheese'.
If you are leashing your jungle, pull your blade in 1:17. After using Q, spam q again. You must use 2nd Q in 1:25 - 1:26. This grants you 6 Q auto, and tank 1 auto with passive.
When you are in lane, don't use your Q for csing. You need to position your blade to make your trades even more powerful. When lvl 2, you can look for an opportunity to all-in with E+Q. If your opponent doesn't give you an window to trade, just take your blade to your opponent's back. After 6, you need to look map too much. Cause of your ulti, a lose fight that your team takes can turn to an win fight.
Gameplan
Shen's gameplan is pretty simple. Protecting carry's. When you have your ult, you need to splitpush the opposite side of next objective(Exp. If Baron's up, you need to go bot to splitpush to take aggro of enemy team but you need to have your ulti). If there's a fight on objective, you need to ult to your carry and tank all damage that enemy team applies.
