7.3Cassiopeia
4.8Shen
Cassiopeia significantly out-farms Shen by 2.4 CS per minute, accumulating an estimated 36 CS lead by mid game. This substantial farming gap gives Cassiopeia a major gold advantage and earlier item completions.

Damage
1,077Cassiopeia
552Shen
Cassiopeia heavily out-damages Shen by 525 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Shen should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Cassiopeia's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
13,114Cassiopeia
9,479Shen
Cassiopeia generates a commanding 3,634 more gold per game than Shen. This substantial economic advantage means Cassiopeia consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Shen should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
1.2Cassiopeia
1.0Shen
Both Cassiopeia and Shen provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.2s/min difference), meaning neither has a significant advantage in locking down opponents for ganks or team fights. Lane ganks are equally effective for both sides.
Sustain
1,105Cassiopeia
