The best champs not in lane to counter Shen include Zeri, Aphelios, and Ezreal. These picks are all good at countering Shen with high win rates over 65%. Even if these Shen counter picks are not used in your lane, it's not smart to choose him into these matchups. They will usually destroy Shen.
Conversely, if the opposite team brings either Tahm Kench or Ryze, you should strongly consider taking him, as he easily crushes these champs with win rates over 55% against each ofthem.
Be wary when ganking because Shen can sheild your target and then TP there with Stand United. Make sure you're ready to potentially fight 2 champions if you initiate on 1.
Shen counters a lot of squishy carries. His Ult will allow him to join the fight and lock down any nearby enemies with his taunt.
Additionally, Shen counters many ADCs with his AoE Spirit Refuge (W) ability by blocking all incoming auto attacks within range of his blade.
