Shen Support meta analysis (Patch 26.16)

Shen holds a 50.4% win rate in the Support role on Patch 26.16, 1.0 points below the Support role average of 51.4%. That is the 37th highest win rate of 50 Support champions tracked at Emerald+ this patch. With a 2.1% pick rate (33rd most played in the role) and a 1.0% ban rate, Shen rarely gets banned, so the pick is almost always available in champion select.

Shen Support held steady at C tier through Patch 26.16, with no tier movement since the previous data merge. Stable ratings are a good sign for one-tricks: the play patterns you practice now should keep working next patch. At C tier, Shen is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

Champion select decides a lot of Shen Support games. The hardest matchups this patch are Leona (47.4% win rate for Shen) and Thresh (50.9% win rate for Shen): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Pantheon (67.6%) and Bard (54.8%) are the matchups to look for, where Shen wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
