While LeBlanc does have a lower win rate compared to Shen, when on opposite teams, LeBlanc also has a much greater difficulty level that makes her a more complex champ to develop with.

Moreover, LeBlanc has almost no amount of CC and other utility, a similar amount to Shen. This often makes her just as valuable during teamfights, especially when fighting champions with a lot of burst damage.
