The stat comparisons shown on this page emphasize several important Shen against Fizz counter stats that can help us grasp the differences and similarities between the pair. Shen’s KDA ratio ([kills + assists] / deaths) of NaN is more than Fizz’s KDA ratio of NaN, indicating that Shen may be more central to his team's team fighting capacity than Fizz. This observation is largely a result of the differences in assists.
Shen often has a significantly smaller longest killing spree than his enemy does. Typically, he receives more damage than Fizz. This often reflects differing health capacities, yet it can also illustrate that the one champion has less agility and thus is unable to kite away from additional harm when engaged or poked.

While Shen does have a lower win rate than Fizz, when on opposite teams, Shen also has a lower learning curve that makes him a less complex character to pick up and master. You should be careful when picking Shen into Fizz.

Shen typically gets a similar amount of CS as Fizz. Champions who typically don't take much CS typically don't need much CS to be effective, such as sup champs. These kinds of champions are capable of scaling properly off of their abilities and first items alone. Yet, champions with a lot of CS, such as hyper-carries, typically have to have a lot of items to be effective. In either situation, try to do better than the values shown here to do well.

When Shen used at least these three items in his build, he performed a lot better countering Fizz than with most other common counter builds. In fact, Shen boasted an average win rate of 48.6% when playing against Fizz with this build.
