Shen vs Shaco Matchup Summary

The Shen vs Shaco matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 21 recent matches analyzed, Shen wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Shaco's 42.9%, giving Shen a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Shen dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Shaco players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Shen leads by 1,399 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Shen players can confidently pick into Shaco and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Shaco away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
446Shen
828Shaco
