How to play it

✓

Respect his Shadow Dash

His E is Shen's only gap-closer against Gnar and it has a long cooldown: bait it before you commit.

✓

Punish his cooldowns

All-in once his E and W are spent: with both down he can't reach you or shrug off your damage.

✓

His W is brief

Spirit's Refuge (W) nulls some of your damage but doesn't last long: keep hitting through it.

✕

Force a fight while his E is up: wait for him to burn his gap-close first.

Gnar vs Shen in Top lane is a favourable lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: his E is his only way to close the gap on you, bait it out, then abuse the long cooldown.
