Who is Better, Elise or Shen?

Both League of Legends champs are great champions. Both have their strengths, weaknesses, and counters. In the game's current meta, Elise usually loses when facing off against Shen, with a 46.3% win rate. As a result, Elise makes a bad counter to Shen.

While Elise does have a lower win rate compared to Shen, when on opposite teams, Elise also has a much greater level of difficulty that makes her a more difficult character to pick up and master. You should be very concerned when picking Elise into Shenas her relative depth means that you may not be able to unleash her full potential without a lot of practice beforehand.

Moreover, Elise also has only a small amount of CC and other utility, a similar amount to Shen. This often makes her just as valuable during team fights, especially when facing champions with a ton of burst damage.

While there is not one best champion in League of Legends, in Elise vs Shen matchups, Shen is the better champion with a much lower win rate, more champion depth, and a similar amount of utility to help out your teammates during late stage team fights.

Elise is a trash counter for Shen. You will do well by focussing your strategy on maximizing your gold and cs and clearing objectives. If you can do that, you should hold your own as Elise against Shen.
