Morgana vs Shen Matchup Summary

The Morgana vs Shen matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 30 recent matches analyzed, Shen wins with a 53.3% win rate compared to Morgana's 46.7%, giving Shen a 6.7 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Shen controls the early laning stage, but Morgana outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Shen needs to press advantages before Morgana reaches their power spikes, while Morgana should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Shen leads by 875 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Shen has a strong advantage in this matchup. Morgana players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Shen overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
1.6Morgana
1.4Shen
Morgana and Shen farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
673Morgana
449Shen
Morgana heavily out-damages Shen by 223 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 Morgana's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,839Morgana
10,513Shen
Morgana earns 325 more gold per game than Shen, equivalent to roughly one additional component item. This economic edge comes from a combination of better farming, kill participation, and objective control, giving Morgana slightly faster item completions.
Utility
2.1Morgana
0.9Shen
Morgana brings significantly more crowd control than Shen, with 1.2 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Morgana far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Shen should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
596Morgana
1,471Shen
Shen vastly out-sustains Morgana, healing and mitigating 875 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Shen can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Morgana is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Morgana, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Best Morgana Build Against Shen

Sorcerer's Shoes is the optimal boots choice against Shen, providing the mobility and stats Morgana needs most in this matchup. The top-performing core items for Morgana against Shen are Zhonya's Hourglass, Rylai's Crystal Scepter and Blackfire Torch. This combination gives Morgana an effective balance of damage, survivability, and utility for the matchup. Adjustments may be needed based on team compositions and game state, but this build provides the strongest foundation for the Morgana vs Shen matchup.

Shen late game win rateShen42.9%

Shen dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 77.8% win rate — a 55.6 percentage point lead over Morgana. This lopsided early game means Shen can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Morgana is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 57.1% win rate — 14.3 points above Shen. Extended games heavily favor Morgana, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Shen must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Morgana reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Morgana survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
