Well well well. U should just survive in this matchup pull the lane to urself and try to "E" her when she gets to tower range and get out.
Kennen
Same as "Neeko".
Ornn
This matchup is REALLY easy for SHEN and you are HARD COUNTER of him. Why? U can block his special auto attack. A thing will apper upon your head and when he autos you try to block it with your "W" last second. And when he burns you use your passive.
Fiora
You should almost never "E" to her. Just do small "Grasp" and "Shield Bash" trades to her and get out. Only "E" to her when you think you can kill her. Try to bait her "W". Also, you are good to go "Bramble Vest"
Jax
U are super strong to him till 3 level. Punish him when he gets closer to take a minion when he uses "E" use your "E" 1 second later and get out without stun.
Garen
His damage with "Conqueror" is insane. Anyways, do small "Grasp n Shield Bash" Trades and use your empowered qs everytime u can and when he is low enough, go into him all. BUT NEVER LOSE YOUR HEALTH MUCH!!!! He will just dive you instead. My personal ban.
Yasuo
He is strong. But not against you. Don't do extended trades until level 3. When he gets all in to you use your "W" and "E" well and you will be fine. So you can "E" to a minion that he can dash forwards.
Darius
For me, It's a terrible matchup. Bait his "Q" with stepping ahead and go back when he uses. If his "Q" is on CD you can do short trades "Grasp n Shield Bash". Block his "W" with ur "W".
Master Yi
He will ruin all of games in late. But you are here! You can punish him when he comes to take a minnion. Always PUNISH him. Don't do any extended trades till level 2. After, u will be fine if u play good.
Yone
Very easy...
Vladimir
Early block his "Q" with your passive. Hit level 2 and go super aggresive towards him. While level 2. If he opens "E" keep punishing.
Kayle
Try to stay healthy as u can block her pokes with ur passive or "W" and go all in him when u can use 6 EMPOWERED "Q".
Urgot
Block his "W" with ur "W" and use ur passive to dont get poke. do 6 Empowered "Q" extended trades.
Volibear
Always save ur "W" for his "Q" and he will try to push u at level 1 and try to hit u with his "E" don't get hit by that.
That's everything almost.
Tryndamere
Never go all in him. You are winning trades till 6 level watch out for rage bar and his ultimate.
Teemo
This is my personal ban. I just don't like to play against him. What ever just block his poke with ur passive and your "W" you can win trades but be carefull. Watch the mathcup videos from youtube.
Quinn
Block his poke till level 4 and just farm as much as you can. After level 4 you can look for extended trades when she uses her "E" for some reason.
Zed
Punish him when he gets a minion. At level 3 Dodge his Q and do extended trades. After lvl 6 u don't even need to dodge just attack him xd
Dr. Mundo
U win early trades. If he just q's the minions then just freeze the lane.
Mordekaiser
Don't do extended trades. He will always win. U need to dodge his Q and E Stay healthy as much as you can till level 3.
Renekton
Do a lot of short grasp trades. And also try to block his W with ur W. Deny his Q poke with ur passive.
Nocturne
He will heal a lot so keep trading. Disengage him with ur E
Camille
Stay far enough from walls to react to her "E" skill with your "W". Punish him so hard till level 2. After level 3 just block his "E" with your "W" and just do trades when his passive shield is gone and it would be easy
Ekko
His "W" shield an your ultimate shield is INSANE.
Yone
TRIPLE CC IS VERY GOOD his ultimate your "E" and his second "Q" just wow.
Warwick
CC chain possible and possible to carry with Shen Top and WW Jungle. Get ur WW duo but, u most win the lane.
Shaco
Possible to ultimate his clone and I'm not sure but his boxes.
Lulu
U. will. be. IMMORTAL.
Kayn
When kayn ultimates, u can actually r him. So it's a super combo
Hecarim
Actually can carry the game. Just watch the E-Sports matches you will see.

So yeah lets talk about that. Shens early game is so powerful. He is a tank yes. But hisdamageisinsane. Shen is like a bruiser but in the same way he is a tank.He is a super Top Laner now.Also Shen gives you High Map Awareness!Improves your gameplay and your mental. Keep it calm and rank up.
Items
This gives attack speed, AD, health, attack speed and ability haste. Also gives all Legendary Items 10 Attack Speed. Useful but not as much as Sunfire and Frostfire.
I build it when i want to enjoy while ahead.
If you don't get it u won't hit dmg. Try with not buying it, u will see the difference.
I won't recommend it.
Since it's nerfed i use it when i need a great defence for burst damages like Kha'Zix, Master Yi.
Very very good for fed ADC champs and Crit champs.
Gives MR, health and it increases the shield and HP u get!
Gives AD, Health and shield when u get low. Useful with Titanic Hydra.
Slows the enemy gives critic, attack speed. Troll build maybe but so fun to play with it.
Super overpowered item over there. Shred the tanks and life steal like crazy again. Gives magic damage to HP% try it.
Buy this in late game if u are against sm ad attack speed champs. Yasuo Jax etc.
Very good opinion gives AD and tankiness and 1 Life Point!!
Good to cover and get MS.
VERY VERY POWERFUL item. Just try this in team fights and u will see the difference. Get the Shield Bash and use it it will give %shield damage.
Runes
So lets talk about runes.
AftershockWhile you are playing jungle most of times u need to get that and support too.
Shadow Dash + Flash is great for engaging. Create as much dummies as u can and try to hit them with creative ways. Try Shadow Dash + Flash and hit as many targets as you can. U should Shadow Dash and flash to the enemy but be careful to your Shadow Dash you can miss the flash so do the timing. Great agains Fiora if she doesn't waits a Shadow Dash + Flash
Extended Trade
Also pull your sword with Twilight Assault when your opponent is between, and wait for your Twilight Assault till 3-4 seconds CD remains. And go to your opponent with Shadow Dash and hit ur 3 EMP Q's and pull your sword again and hit 3 EMP Q's again. It's extended trade. So so so so many damage.
Short Trades
Also there is short trades with Grasp of the Undying and Shield Bash. Use as many times as you can. When your graps comes search for a graps trade and get off. When the enemy is low, try extended trades.
Tower Crush
When enemy gets to tower range, e the enemy and tower will hit the enemy and u will chop down him.
Q + FLASH
Use this to slow your enemies and get EMP Q's to kill enemy. Also useful at engages but be careful to enemies flashes. They can escape so do it quickly. If you Flash too late blade will stay in ur position while u flash away. So try it in practice mod. When mastered, this technique will prove valuable in every game you play as Shen.
Bush Trap
Wait at opponents bush when the opponent helps red when he comes, hit with your Twilight Assault and chop down him. But don't do to every champion. U can check xPetu's Shen Matchup Guide for the help.
W Protection
Most Shen players default to using Spirit's Refuge on themselves as if they were playing Jax and using his Counter Strike. It's okay in laning phase but you should learn to cover your teammates with your Spirit's Refuge when you pull your Twilight Assault and open your if blade passes through any allie it will block the incoming damage till it passes. So watch your teammates and cover them. It can block basick attacks while moving.
Awareness
Put your Z,X,C and SPACE key to allies and look at them every second. Wait for a good moment to ultimate and get a score or save your allie. You can use F1, F2, F3, F4 but it's hard. Try with Z,X,C and SPACE it will be better.
