How to play it

✓ DO

His ult roams

When Shen ults to roam, don't try to match him — you lose that race, so answer him on the map instead.

Gigasplit the map

The moment he leaves for an ult roam, gigasplit and take his tower and waves — trade the map, not the fight.

Skill 3 Q then W

Take 3 points in Q, then max W.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never build lethality into Shen — it makes you far too squishy.

Winning lane is only half the game — rotations, wave control and objective tempo decide the rest. Train the map on MOBA Trainer.
