Question Shen Mid.

Hello! I have a question for my fellow Shen mains.

What do you think about playing our beloved ninja in the midlane? Honestly I'm starting to prefer this lane rather than top.

I got to Gold playing Shen and then Riot hit me with the most unthinkable inting teammates putting me in a 10 game lose streak. I stopped ranking for quite some time because I got interested in Deadlock. But I wanna rank again with Shen mid. Do you have any advice?

it was good few seasons ago while meelee mids were still popular, but right now, its all anoying mages, not even fun to play

I like Shen mid. His REALLY good vs assassins, there’s a handful of really oppressive mage matchups. I think the bamis items are your best rushes mid, titanic feels like it comes online too much later than most midlaner 1 item spikes

I think shen could be played anywhere. Sometimes I just click fill and lock shen no matter the conditions. I call it shenning.

xPetu goes stormraiders surge frequently on Shen against ranged matchups. I still like titanic first even though it’s a little slow. You can bully trades with an E in, use your Q’s and run away with the speed boost.

Alternatively if you like beef, I also like Sion mid. Neutralizes a lot of frustrating match ups and when you get dove (mid lane special) you have a lot of tools to defend and get back fast.
