Who is Better, Shen or Seraphine?

Both LoL champions are great champions. Both champs have their pros and cons. In the game's current meta, Shen usually loses when trying to fight Seraphine, with a 48.7% win rate. As a result, Shen makes a poor counter for Seraphine.

While Shen does have a lower winrate than Seraphine, when on opposite teams, Shen also has a much greater level of difficulty that makes him a more complex character to pick up and master. You should be careful when picking Shen into Seraphine.

Moreover, Shen also has a very large amount of utility and CC, a similar amount to Seraphine. This often makes her just as valuable during team fights, especially when trying to counter champions with a lot of burst damage.

While there is not a single best champion for every situation in League of Legends, in Shen vs Seraphine matchups, Seraphine is the better champ with a lower win rate, more champion depth, and a similar amount of utility to help out your allied champions during late stage team fights.

Shen is a somewhat poor counter for Seraphine. You will do well by focussing your play on keeping up your gold and cs and taking out objectives. If you are able to do that, you should hold your own as Shen against Seraphine.
