Who is Better, LeBlanc or Shen?

Both League of Legends champs are great. Both have their pros and cons. In League's current meta, LeBlanc usually loses when taking on Shen, with a 46.8% win rate. Therefore, LeBlanc makes a bad counter for Shen.

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. You should be very concerned when picking LeBlanc into Shenas her relative depth means you may not be able to unleash her full potential without a lot of practice beforehand.

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.

While there isn't a single best champion for every situation in League of Legends, in LeBlanc 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 allied champions during late stage team fights.

LeBlanc is a trash counter for Shen. You will do well by focussing your actions on increasing your gold income and taking out objectives. If you can do that, you should be able to stand on your own as LeBlanc against Shen.
