Ruby Crystal, Doran's Shield, Boots+3 pot all work. I opt for the first because you can usually get a HoG + Boots on your first back and you don't suffer any issues with sustain. You don't get wriggles so vamp is wasted and I doubt you'd get much value out of Doran's Blade. | ||

WW beats shen in lane, for sure. Played it twice last night and it's just not fair, WW with wriggle's + wit's just stands there and beats your face in. Xin should be a losing matchup Neo, but yea, if you can make it a straight farm fest, w/e, shen late game >> xin late game. the last WW I played on top plane did not stand a chance. I Just zoned him out from the beginning. The only problem I had was a Gangplank who parleyed me everytime and critted me quite hard TT with his jungler help he beated me in lane. Never played a Xin before | ||

Never played a Xin before vs gp i try to avoid trades on lvl 1 as much as possible, from lvl 2 onwards it's much easier. Though random crits can fuck you over so hard :< | ||

The crits won't come out as often compared to your vorpal blade faceboomb. If you know you laning against gp or any other high melee dps champs, you have to get chain mail first and get wriggle. | ||

He seems a bit to powerfull with that Q on such a low cd... He was like that before patch. Elementz said it, you can facebomb people with q every 2 seconds and own top lane easy. | ||

But yeah, probably not your fault. Should have just switched to jungle panth when you saw the shen pick. | ||

I can imagine graves or cait or maybe even vayne doing equal or even well in a isolated situation. It depends on who's more aggressive, but range ad carry will have problems because shen can tank a few hits and win exchanges. Again, range ad carry doesn't do solo top, that's just disaster waiting to happen. | ||

Graves, Vayne, Cait, Ezreal, Corki will all beat Shen top lane....as a matter of fact I'm pretty sure any AD carry will beat Shen top. Ranged Carries are not a "disaster waiting to happen" in top lane either. | ||

I opened dblade and he opened with dshield, and my spears just weren't doing much damage while his sustain pretty much negated whatever damage my spears were doing. On top of that, he chucks his own shit at me but I don't have sustain. What exactly would you suggest if such a scenario happened? Should I have taken a different rune page, different opening build, or is it just a bad matchup in the current patch? I've never flat out lost in the laning phase as a Panth before and it was a pretty unnerving experience. Shen even before the buffs was one of the strongest picks vs panth, now he is much better. Its a really bad match for panth, try to avoid it. You cannot harass him out of lane, his shield and return harass +sustain will outlast you. You have to have the jungle come in and get you probably 2 kills early with your full burst. | ||

I absolutely wrecked a Sivir top with Shen a few days ago, shield her harass and abuse brush as much as possible, then just jumped her with taunt/shield/dagger when she went in to CS. I came out significant ahead on every trade. She should have warded the brush, but with it I was able to zone her. | ||

HoG is better because you can build it into RO later which is a pretty standard item for Shen. The stone is not good for Shen. | ||
