Who is Better, Zoe or Shen?

Both League champions are great. Both have their strengths, weaknesses, and counters. In League's current meta, Zoe usually loses when playing against Shen, with a 45.3% win rate. As a result, Zoe makes a poor counter for Shen.

While Zoe does have a much lower win rate than Shen, when on opposite teams, Zoe also has a greater learning curve that makes her a more complex champion to pick up and master. You should expect to face a difficult match when picking Zoe into Shen.

Furthermore, Zoe also has almost no amount of utility and CC, a similar amount to Shen. This often makes her just as valuable during teamfights, especially when facing champions with a lot of burst damage.

While there isn't one best champion for every situation in League of Legends, in Zoe 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 allies during team fights.

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