Shen Support meta analysis (Patch 26.14)

Shen holds a 51.1% win rate in the Support role on Patch 26.14, 0.4 points below the Support role average of 51.6%. That is the 34th highest win rate of 49 Support champions tracked at Emerald+ this patch. With a 1.7% pick rate (34th most played in the role) and a 0.9% 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 26.14, 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 Bard (45.5% win rate for Shen) and Seraphine (47.0% win rate for Shen): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Nautilus (53.3%) and Pyke (53.2%) are the matchups to look for, where Shen wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
