Shen vs Yasuo in Top lane is a favourable lane on patch 26.16. The one thing to respect: he's slippery — his E lets him dash around your taunt, so pick your engage or you'll whiff and eat a counter-trade. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Sweeping Blade

He dashes everywhere with E — over-chase and you'll whiff your taunt, so read his dash-target minion and taunt the spot he lands.

Level 2 all-in

Push level 1 to hit level 2 first, then all-in him using your Emp Q range.

Poke on last-hits

Place your blade and hit him with 1-2 Emp Qs whenever he steps up for a last-hit.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never go for a full all-in after level 3 — you win the slightly-longer trades, not the all-ins.
